Hip Hop summit aims to inspire at-risk youth<br />
• By Kristal Jenkinson<br />
Hip Hop Summit returns to<br />
Christchurch later this month<br />
with live performances from<br />
top local artists, workshops for<br />
young artists and the National<br />
NZ Beatbox competition.<br />
The summit, which celebrates<br />
50 years of hip-hop, brings<br />
together Christchurch hip hop<br />
artists, including Hunter Wilson<br />
(aka King Cass), Apathxtic<br />
and Fr3quent, with the aim of<br />
helping at-risk youth.<br />
It runs from <strong>September</strong> 22-30.<br />
Organiser, Flava FM DJ and<br />
Youth & Cultural Development<br />
(YCD) youth worker ‘Red’ Setu<br />
said he hopes to build on the<br />
success of last year’s event, which<br />
drew just over 10,000 attendees.<br />
By bringing together up-andcoming<br />
artists and at-risk youth,<br />
he hoped the event would create<br />
a platform for young people to<br />
express themselves positively.<br />
Setu said he sees his younger<br />
self while working with at-risk<br />
youth and remembers how<br />
accessible<br />
and relatable<br />
hip-hop was<br />
growing up<br />
in a highly<br />
deprived<br />
home.<br />
“Some are<br />
great rappers<br />
Lucas Fahey<br />
and dancers,<br />
but they (lack)<br />
direction in understanding hiphop<br />
culture,” Setu said.<br />
Lucas Fahey, aka hip-hop artist<br />
Big Sima, who performed at last<br />
year’s summit and is helping to<br />
run workshops this year, said<br />
hip hop helped him when he<br />
was a teenager struggling with<br />
problems at<br />
home and<br />
bored and<br />
“disruptive”<br />
in class.<br />
“My mates<br />
went to jail,<br />
and we were<br />
Jamal Willis<br />
all breakdancing<br />
at<br />
YCD, so it<br />
kept us out of trouble.”<br />
Fahey said he grew up without<br />
a male role model, but hip hop<br />
supplied him with a community.<br />
Another Christchurch hip-hop<br />
and summit artist, Jamal Willis,<br />
aka Leejun, said he used to draw<br />
pictures and write rap lyrics<br />
in class as a way of expressing<br />
himself.<br />
His cousin, hip-hop artist<br />
‘Sun’ encouraged him to further<br />
pursue hip-hop for a livelihood<br />
after seeing his cousin’s talent.<br />
He left high school before<br />
completing NCEA Level 2 and<br />
found work with Te Ora Hou<br />
Ōtautahi’s youth centre, which<br />
helped motivate him to produce<br />
his own hip hop.<br />
“I want young people to know<br />
CONNECTION: Red Setu launched the Christchurch Hip Hop Summit in 2021 to help<br />
local hip-hop artists network with each other.<br />

that if they put their heart and<br />
their mind to their dreams, they<br />
can achieve it.<br />
“I’m trying to be a living<br />
example of that.”<br />
The Christchurch Hip<br />
Hop Summit is a free event<br />
and will run for a week with<br />
performances based at Tūranga<br />
Library.<br />
It is modelled on the original<br />
Aotearoa Hip Hop Summit<br />
organised by DJ Ali and DJ Sir-<br />
Vere which began in Auckland<br />
in 2001.<br />
‘Share the knowledge’<br />
workshops will be held for<br />
beatboxing, graffiti, MCing, beat<br />
making, songwriting and spoken<br />
word, urban choreography and<br />
breakdancing. All workshops<br />
require registration.<br />
