1:15 INTERVIEW: Team Dynamite 

It’s been seven years since Auckland hip hop trio Team Dynamite’s last album Shepherd’s Delight, which was nominated for three Pacific Music Awards. The long awaited follow up Respect The Process is out now on Tom Scott’s Years Gone By record label, and to accompany the release the label put out a short documentary, which goes into the group’s wayward younger years, and a disastrous gig that led to them hitting pause and taking time to regroup. Tony Stamp talked to Lucky Lance, Tony Teez, and Haz Beats, about their journey of self-discovery.

'October' Lyrics: 

Wake me up

When October ends

I can’t watch you 

Murder these perfect men.

There’s no men left

That are worth a look

They’re all falling down 

For standing for their (Rights)

Tell those, those who murder

Karma gonna get ya

When it’s all said and when it’s all done

No real man, hides behind a gun

Wake me up

At the end of march

I can’t watch what happened in Christchurch

We shed our tears

Vigils and mourning

But if you don’t see me as equal

Then who are we fooling? 

Peace will always win

If not now then in the end

Tell those, those who murdered

Our young men in October

When it’s all said and when it’s all done

No real man hides behind a gun.
