newzealand8 drops three works simultaneously on the SOLiAM imprint:
■ SOLiAM Presents: STILL Flowing (Tribute 2 The Empire) — an eight-track album built as a

anthem at 142 BPM, family collaboration with DCL Dspize Clothing Limited out of Eastside
Rotorua.

BPM with a M■ori baritone lead, built as a catalogue dedication to DistroKid.

Hate Me Now, Dspize Me Later — the official animated music video is here.

An exclusive track by newzealand8 produced for DCL Dspize Clothing Limited ® — a family collaboration between two independent Eastside Rotorua operations building from the streets of Rotovegas.

Three characters. One photo album. A flashback to Te Ngae Road, Coulter Road, and Owhata — spraying tags on alleyway walls, getting fish and chips from the local shops, running the Eastside in all-red coordinates. The kids who tagged walls became the men who built brands.

What started as a tag name, now to a brand name.
