0800 is a Hop Hop Collective from Auckland, New Zealand consisting of rappers, producers and visual artists. The group is multi-cultured (African, Mexican, Fijian and Pakeha) and genre-defying with core elements of Hip Hop, Pop and R&B. With the release of their debut single 'DONDE', the group quickly gained popularity in AU, NZ and US with over 2 million single streams amassed on Spotify. The single landed at Number 11 on the NZ Hot Singles Chart and was added to Spotify's "Alternative Hip Hop" and "Fresh Finds" US playlists along with "New Music Friday AU/ NZ". Following their debut, the group released their EP 'ATTENTION FOR A SECOND' and embarked on a nationwide tour playing to sold out venues across New Zealand. The group teases an upcoming EP on the way in Early 2023, with an AU/NZ tour to follow shortly after. The dynamic of this hip hop group is a brotherhood of close friends and everything is created in-house at their flat. Taking inspiration from supergroups like Odd Future, A$AP Mob and Wutang Clan, their sound is genre-defying and refreshingly new. Swinging hip hop drums and silky R&B hooks plague their catalogue of songs that tap into a territory that no group has gone before. Catch 0800 at their next show and see what the hype is all about.
