What a day 
This morning I was in Meremere which is a very small village heading north from Kirikiriroa  towards Tamaki Makaurau to help my cousin and with his mothers books (Whakapapa/Family tree) recording her and our other Aunties.  After they yummy kai (Food) I heading to Paeroa for a Hui (Meeting) with whanau about the future of our Marae Te Pai O Hauraki.  That meeting finished around 530 is so I b lined it back to Kirikiriroa to set up for Chris Heke.  
I Met Chris a few years ago as I transitioned from Boxing at Manatangata to trying my hand at Brazilian Jiujitsu.  More recently taking my teenaged son to Core Mma to get some movement happening I had to pleasure to become friends with Chris.  Everything about Chris is authentic and genuine and very knowledgable so you can guess we got on like a house on fire.  
Chris Heke is what I would call an unsung hero doing the mahi he does and the way he is when you are around him,  an interesting Tane with an even more interesting story,  his philosophy on Martial Arts , Life , Community Support and Spiritual and Mental Health healing practices . Listen in , this may apply to you

Bboy Delite has an amazing story from being in Time Bandits to making his way into 4 Corners and also one of the Allstar Disruptiv Bboys.  Jorel Mqueen has traveled near and far with Dancing, mixing it up with some of the best in the world and also rolling with his cousin BBoy RK into the HipHop realm of battling.
Bboy Delite is one of my favourite stylistic dancers to come out of the Waikato , and even though he is not dancing at this moment in time you never know.
Jorel speaks about his journey moving through the stages in life to the mahi he does now and it is amazing if you ask me.  Listen in as we re connect and speak on it.

Part 2
We continue talking about my recovery from the tumour and self healing, also the importance of strengthening and supporting our Wahine to create a better environment for our children and their children.   We speak on generational trauma which effects many of us but seems to be more up front in today's society.  The conversation leads in to some of the most awkward moments and some of the most amazing moments in both our journeys not only having had survived growing up in this racist society but now we can are at the age we can enjoy life.  Gaming is a big part of family life for Marcus and I like to think Im a gamer (but Im not that good) so we conversate about Marcus's journey on twitch and delve into the RockStar Universe of gaming.
  I would like to thank Marcus for coming along and being vulnerable and just being a great human being.  Koro Life is amazing

Wow where do I begin?  At the beginning I suppose,  Marcus sits down with me and we talk about life from young Maori fellas who purchased a 2 dollar mic and asked our neighbours if we could borrow there tape recorder and making a song to being a couple of veteran Mcs who have both done some amazing things in life and music.
We talk about the community leaders out there and our journey serving the community and our most amazing achievements of all.  Making it to Koro status, and beholding our true callings in life.  This is a 2 part story so tune in and enjoy some of the stories we talk about and the people we love who are in those stories.

Mothers Day 
Today was an awesome day to get out on my Indian Scout, go riding with my cuzzy and get out into the wind.  
In this episode I speak about what Ive been up to for the last few weeks with the death of an uncle I try to explain some of the  processes we Maori undertake  when a loved one has passed.  What happens in the world of Maori, what we do so we can process this and some of the things that happen on the Marae.  I also speak about what processes we do with 4 Corners Music and our new project that is coming out.  Mother's day antics and connection.  Join me

Tipene dropped in the day after his show in Kirikiriroa for a korero with yours truly.  I met Tipene around the mid 2000s, he walked into the studio we were recording in with our bro Juse at Woodcut on K road.  I remember Tipene talking about his project at the time and what he was about to do.  The reason that stood out for me was because we knew how hard it was being out of towners trying to break into the Auckland Music scene and how extra we had to be to be excepted.  Luckily for us it we were stoners and just did us and weren't to worried about who was down and who wasn't because at the end of the day.  You can't denie dope music.  Fast forward nearly 20 years later , Tipene is a super star in the eyes of our people making meaning full HipHop Music weaving our culture into his craft.  listen in on our conversation about that journey.

We continue where we left off in our part one.  Rahui Pookeka and the local heros in our community.  We try comparison of what Maori have been doing for years and is only been picked up by the system in the last 30 years.  History and much much more.

This Episode is vol 1
I chop it up with one of our young Pou in many spaces "Harmz".  You may know him from the "U Knights" where he teams up with Catch "Manny Cullingford" and they create BBoy and BGirl events and add community based programs for our youth.
Join us as we korero about Whakapapa, how we as Maori Men must navigate our way in society.  We talk about the Waikato invasion of colonisation and how it still effects how we are perceived in our own land.  We talk about HipHop and how it has saved many of our lives giving us an opportunity to evolve in this system that is created for us to fail, and we talk about certain aspects of the health sector for Maori.  How far it has come and what we can do to enhance out future.  A lot of our local heroes , Kaumatua and people behind the seens.  We also yarn about being in some of the big block buster films and small low budget films as feat extras and Harmz with his stunt man maxi, we laugh  joke and just have a great time practicing the art of conversation.
Your going to like this one, I mean these 2 vols
