MOKOMOKAI is a Māori hip-hop group with roots in Central Tāmaki Makaurau and the winterless north of Aotearoa. Their songs are about habits and contradictions, living in the city and the country, and how young boys running wild in the dark grow into principled men who’d do anything to protect their whanau. 

Since 2022, MANU, DUSTY and GHOS have released three celebrated albums: MOKOMOKAI (2022), WHAKAREHU (2023), and PONO! (2025), while rocking festivals, nightclubs and street corners around the motu. The bloody, beating heart of their music is the relationship between DUSTY and GHOS’ cinematic boombap beats and MANU’s charismatic rhymes. 

Surrounded by lower-tempo jazz and soul loops, programmed drums and live instrumentation, Manu shares jaw-dropping stories, laugh-out-loud punchlines, raw personal reflections and deep introspection. On stage, their energy is electrifying and undeniable. A night with MOKOMOKAI is a night to remember.
