SWIDT Ltd
New Zealand's "Most Electrifying Rap Group in Entertainment", SWIDT unleash a surprise release, "Stoneyhunga: The Bootleg EP". Simultaneously the jesters and the kings of current NZ Hip Hop, last year's debut album "STONEYHUNGA" impressively yielded them two New Zealand Music Awards, for Best Group and Best Hip Hop Artist. The unrelenting rap troupe are back with the unannounced, unexpected EP, feverishly hot on the heels of a new collaboration with jazz-fusionists Yoko-Zuna called 'Day Job'. "Stoneyhunga: The Bootleg EP" includes several big US & UK featured artists, with contributions from Teeflii, Novelist (Skepta's grime protege), HIGH HOOPS (of Leisure), and the 2018 NZ Hip Hop posse (MeloDownz, JessB, Diggy Dupe, Rizvan). Key track 'Boogie' features HIGH HOOPS AKA Leisure's Jordan Arts (whose collaboration 'Other Lover' with SWIDT's mainman Spycc has clocked over half a mill streams on Spotify), and is produced by SmokeyGotBeatz (who's worked with Jay Rock w/ Kendrick Lamar & SZA, Xhibit, King Lil G). This deceptive, smooth rnb jam perfectly juxtaposes SWIDT's renown hard-hitting hip-hop bangers such as new cuts 'Function' and 'Me Julie', all poised to become crowd favourites for these fast-growing trendsetters. Management by industry hit-makers 1979 Management (known for breaking artists like Savage, Aaradhna, Janine [FKA Janine and the Mixtape], etc). Expansive guerrilla marketing campaigns structured for an online blitzkrieg around release.
