Rapper and producer Rei says his new album is a playbook on how to be a chief.
Rapper and producer Rei says his new album is a playbook on how to be a chief.
Ariki is Rei’s sixth album and his first full length outing in seven years, with 20 waiata in te reo Māori.
It’s a combination of hip hop & R’n’B, pop, rap, reggae, and drill.
“This whole album is kind of written like a self-help audiobook on how to be a rangatira today. It’s just some of my whakaaro on how you can be more chiefly in everything or how I can be more chiefly in my day to day life,” Rei says.
