Shepherds Delight (Reissue)

Before Respect the Process took out our #1 album of 2021, there was Shepherds Delight, the explosive debut from Tāmaki Makaurau’s Team Dynamite. Released in 2014, this one announced the trio’s arrival with charisma, soul, and floor-filling energy to burn. Formed in the late 2000s, MCs Lucky Lance and Tony Teez linked up with producer Haz Beats to move from weekend freestyles to full-blown classics, becoming key players in the Young Gifted & Broke collective. Shepherds Delight captures that early fire, a playful, funk-drenched slice of local hip-hop history that still knocks today. Shepherds Delight is where the story really begins. - Flying Out

Shepherds Delight is Tāmaki Makaurau hip-hop trio Team Dynamite’s explosive debut album — a piece of Aotearoa music history available on vinyl for the first time. Team Dynamite formed in the late 2000s after aspiring teenage MCs Lucky Lance and Tony Teez decided to take hip hop beyond their weekend freestyle sessions at a local park. An introduction to producer Haz Beats provided the beats they were missing, and suddenly, Team Dynamite became a legitimate group, as they built a reputation for dance-floor-friendly hip-hop. The group became a mainstay of the Young Gifted & Broke collective.
