King Kapisi – Superhuman

KING KAPISI New Single and Video :: Superhuman featuring progressive thinking artists/groups from New Zealand. It's the culmination of years of mutual respect.
'Not many people know that Ruban and Kody from the Mint Chicks are old school hip- hop heads, so working with them was an honour', says Kapisi.
Recorded during 2009 between Kapisi’s studio, Quabax and the RedBull Studios in Auckland, time had to be managed wisely with the Mint Chicks living in Portland, Oregon.
A recent trip to perform at a 300,000+ festival in Hua Hin, Thailand, provided the perfect opportunity to film the music video for Superhuman.
The video, shot in a kickboxing gym in bustling Bangkok, features the talent of kickboxing Champ Chris ‘Petchdam’ Forster, the Sor Vorapin Kickboxing Gym trainers as well as New Zealand based Thai Hip-Hop Deejay Dusty Grooves.
The video encapsulates the theme of the song - obtaining and maintaining the skills required for a career in this music game, ‘You need to be Superhuman and super skilled to have longevity’, states Kapisi.
Ensuring each track on his upcoming album Hip-Hop Lives Here is just that, it features an eclectic mix of artists, from both Aotearoa and across the globe including Che Fu, Tha Feelstyle, Rakaa (Dilated Peoples), Bunny Rugs (Third World), Young Sid, Radical Son (Australia), Uptown Swuite (USA), Luciano (Vibe Magazines top 10 Reggae artists in the world), Dr. Richard Nunns (expert in traditional Maori instruments) and more.
