On stage Wellington-born Samoan King Kapisi, aka Bill Urale, is a Kiwi hip-hop legend.
He’s performed at nearly every major New Zealand music event and alongside The Black Eyed Peas, Janet Jackson and the Beastie Boys, to name just a few.
Back home in Blockhouse Bay , however, the basketball-loving father-of-four is a lot like you and me – he loves hanging with his family and friends.
