Bonus pod: How good was Dei Hamo's 'We Gon' Ride'?!
The Real Pod - A podcast by The Spinoff
Categories:
In this extra special episode of The Real Pod, Jane Yee, Alex Casey and Duncan Greive don our silkiest tracksuits and go all the way back to spring 2004, when Dei Hamo's 'We Gon' Ride' exploded onto the New Zealand airwaves. As you can read about now in The Spinoff's oral history of the song, this was a time when hip hop in Aotearoa was at its peak, music video directors were hot property, and kids were still buying CD singles. So how did Sani Sagala, a former musician working in a South Auckland bakery, find himself in the centre of the hip hop storm with the highest selling single of the year? You'll have to listen (or read the story) to find out. You can read the full oral history of 'We Gon Ride' here. Join the Real Pod community!
