		Upper Hutt Posse aren't a symptom of the recent rise in Mäori activism, they're a cause.
		So the Posse's political rhetoric is not simply anti-white, rather their anger is directed at the white institutions, institutions which victimise white youth as well as minorities.
		The Posse are a force of change, challenging the status quo and its racism, but seeking a new world in which harmony and peace can get a chance to work; 'Connection is positive, not enough touching/Lives avoided, barricades of fear colliding'.

		Upper Hutt Posse's concerns though, if anything more confrontational and unnacceptable to their respective naton's white majority than PE's, are given a hard, bouncy but hugely melodic backing throughout.
		When we get sold our musical history, whether it be the establishment (Finn brothers/The Dobber) or alternative (Flying Nun-centric), Upper Hutt Posse frequently get lip-service or none at all.

		At the head and heart of Upper Hutt Posse is Dean Hapeta (aka D-Word/Te Kupu).
		Where the likes of P-Money, Savage, Dei Hamo and Scribe arrive at their sound by mentioning New Zealand names and places within American-derived beats and even using some international faces to gain acclaim, Hapeta and crew are using the genre to suit their own purpose.

	Marbecks - More Detail
		UHP's most recent albums have been 100% in te reo Maori; the lyrics on 'Legacy' are mainly in English on disc one and completely in te reo Maori on disc two.
		UHP have always been innovators and their engaging breadth of expression ensures that 'Legacy' stands apart from most of the complacent imitations of todays local music.
		Mixing majestic anthems like "E Te Iwi" with captivating pop tunes like "Sight Divine" and the lyrical fortitude of "Warmongers" with the unique Maori flavour of "I Nga Ra O Mua", is a testament of UHP's prowess, nearly two decades after they first came to the world's attention with the groundbreaking "E Tu".

		In an exhaustive study of the phenomenon and the literature, folklorist Alan Dundes argues that the pervasive use of the bullroarer is ‘based upon notions of male pregnancy envy, anal eroticism, and ritual homosexuality’ (1976, 236).
		The Maori version of the bullroarer, the purererhua, has been used extensively in New Zealand popular music by, for example, the Upper Hutt Posse, and Hirini Melbourne and Richard Nunns, as well as in the soundtrack to Once Were Warriors.
		In contrast, the bullroarer has been little used in Australian popular music, there being considerable taboos surrounding its use in Aboriginal culture.

		With the release of the EP ‘E Tu,’ the message from Aotearoa’s own Upper Hutt Posse was loud and clear.
		In the meantime, it’s interesting to reflect on the raw and honest story-telling in the final verse of Grand Master Flash and The Furious Five’s The Message – a perfect illustration of why Hip Hop deserves its place as a chronicler in any serious political discussion.
