Description

LINER NOTES: This week, Kris chats with Andy Murnane & Brotha D, and they discuss their  untold story of acclaimed New Zealand music label Dawn Raid Entertainment.About the film: Dawn Raid is the story of two Manukau Polytechnic students, Andy Murane and Tanielu Leaosavai'i (aka Brotha D) who turned a bootleg t-shirt business and Hip-Hop night at a local bar in Otara into the influential Dawn Raid Entertainment empire. From humble beginnings to fame and fortune, Andy, Brotha D and the Dawn Raid artists gave voice to a disenfranchised Pacific community, for which the violence of the dawn raids, twenty years previously, was still raw. But the bravado and contempt for the status quo that drove Andy and Brotha D to the top, was also the unravelling of their empire. Unpaid tax debts, rifts between artists, and a feeling of betrayal and failure underpinned the downfall of Dawn Raid Entertainment, though not before they had created an immeasurable musical legacy that would pave the way for future New Zealand artists to reach international audiences.  More from Dawn Raid: Learn more about the movie and watch the Trailer here.  and watch the film here. Watch the film on Apple iTunes. Dawn Raid on Social Media: @DawnRaidEntertainment@BrothaD274@Andy1979MGMT--About the Podcast: ‘TEXT PROSE AND ROCK N ROLL’- is the only podcast dedicated to the written account of musicians.
