★THIS FRIDAY ★

“How many dudes you know flow like this?” – when a young New Zealand rapper called SCRIBE first stood up 5 years ago and asked that question in his smash hit Not Many, he began his quest to bring an exciting new flavour to the international hip-hop scene. The story so far…

IN NEW ZEALAND…
Malo Luafutu, a shy Samoan kid from Christchurch, bursts onto the local music scene as SCRIBE with his album The Crusader. A ferocious presence onstage, spitting his hard-hitting, hook-laden rhymes, he proves irresistible to all corners of the hip-hop community and all of a sudden New Zealand hip-hop blows up on the radio and the charts…
- five-times platinum album sales, one platinum single, two gold singles
- the longest running number one single of all time on the New Zealand charts (12 weeks in the top spot)
- nine New Zealand music awards Tuis (Grammy equivalent)

IN AUSTRALIA…
SCRIBE becomes the biggest name in hip-hop downunder. Australian Rolling Stone readers vote
him their second-favourite rapper (after Eminem) and at Sydney’s Big Day Out festival, Scribe causes a lockdown at :.15pm in the afternoon as 20,000 people cram into the aptly named Boiler Room to see him perform…
• platinum album sales, two gold singles
• one MTV VMA award

IN ENGLAND…
SCRIBE’s “Not Many” is picked up for a network tv promo and playlisted on MTV:BASE. Performing everywhere from the famous Notting Hill Carnival to the DMC World Champs, hiphop club nights and instores, Scribe appears alongside legends from KRS-1 and Jadakiss to Lady Sovereign and Skinnyman. He has now returned twice more to London, headlining and selling-out the 2,000 capacity Forum.

RECENTLY…
In 2008 SCRIBE released his second album Rhyme Book featuring Talib Kweli. Another critical smash, the album debuts the same week in the Top 10 in both NZ and
Australia. 'When I heard Scribe’s music, I’m like, This is somebody from overseas who has a shot to make it in America, because it’s real hip hop. His sh*t is dope'.

In May 2008, Scribe impresses Wyclef Jean at Sydney’s MTV awards. The next day, the American superstar producer has the young New Zealand rapper in the studio laying down verses on a remix of his worldwide hit “Fast Cars”.

"I have to be a fan. It has to be challenging. The worst thing you can tell me is it can't be done. When I'm in the studio, what I'm most interested in is creating music that truly moves people wherever they may be in the world. By
collaborating with my man Scribe from New Zealand, we created a vibe on this track that can truly cross boundaries." Wyclef Jean

In 2010 Scribe collaborates with R&B sensation J Williams on a single ‘You Got Me’ giving J Williams his first CHR cross over hit and first Number One single.

In Australia, Scribe collaborates with dance legends Itch-E and Scratch-E new album which is to
be released via Ministry of Sound. His song REFRESH will be the second single from the album.

AND THE FUTURE…?
Five years ago, Scribe asked “How many dudes you know flow like this?” and it was a brash statement from a talented unknown rapper.

Now it’s the world’s turn to answer with the very next line in the song – “not many, if any” – and really mean it, as this Samoan kid from Christchurch continues his irresistible rise to fame.
