ZIPS GALORE (Vinyl LP)

ZIPS GALORE is here. The ZIPS (+++!) Collective stretch confidently across Te Moana‑nui‑a‑Kiwa, operating less like a typical crew and more like an ecosystem. At its core are Church & AP, the Tāmaki Makaurau duo who’ve been quietly leading from the front of Aotearoa hip‑hop since 2018. Alongside RNZŌ, deadforest, and in‑house producer/engineer Dera Meelan, ZIPS collide hip‑hop in all its forms with grime pressure, dance tempos, and forward‑leaning production. This isn’t a loose compilation, it's a snapshot of the Polynesian rap scenes across Aotearoa and Australia. Across 14 tracks the posse deliver a summer-ready collection when you needed it most. - Flying Out

ZIPS GALORE is an ambitious body of work designed to push the boundaries of sound across Oceania. Dually recorded in Auckland and Sydney, the project lives at the intersection of culture and innovation. Where familiar influences are reimagined through the lens of emerging diasporic voices.
