New Zealand hip hop and creative communities are uniting for Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop, a major fundraiser across three cities *Sunday 10th August * (Lock it in your calendars.) Supporting a Wellington crew/family who lost their historic collection and personal belongings in a recent fire. The simultaneous event at San Fran-Wellington, Black Note-Auckland and Studio 46-Hamilton is for residence: Sara Spex Tamati, Andrew Kerb Wright, Tim Ceap Bremner, Peter Truce Lee Whitinui and Khan Khanage Wright. 95% of their belongings were lost in a fire (Monday 23rd June) from a neighboring factory on Mansfield St, Wellington; which ripped through their upstairs flat. Long time DJ’s, artists, b-boys, collaborators and archivists in the hip hop community, with collections of treasured original artwork, historical video footage, photos, vinyl, books, numerous priceless items. Records of over thirty years of local and international hip hop. In response to this loss, and as a testament to what these people represent, an overwhelming number of top class performers and artists are stepping up for Cant Stop, Wont Stop to help raise money to get the four back on their feet.
