PNG’s underground hip-hop movement is taking on a different approach.
3KiiNgZ is one of the early hip-hop groups in the country, establishing the concept of “conscious music”.
Along with other artists like Sprigga Mek, they set the movement with songs like One Sound and Kanaka Walk.
And years on, emerging hip-hop groups, like the Kanaka OutlawZ, have taken on this trend.
“They are also doing conscious music. Talking about things that are happening, things that matter. They display a sense of intelligence, no small talk,” says Kamako of 3KiiNgZ.
