Bilingual Sāmoan Hip Hop Artist SNARE finally returns with award winning South Auckland Producer Anonymouz for a resounding comeback.
Their latest collaboration, Leai Se Paga blurs artistic and cultural boundaries, marking a significant milestone as they release their first work in six years, following the success of SNARE's debut EP, SĒKI, which featured popular urban radio singles
Vodka and Vania,
Brian Lima and
Fika Gumz.
A scintillating work of sonic and visual art which was funded through NZOA’s New Music Pasifika Funding and New Music Development,
Leai Se Paga unleashes a full force of Hip Hop bravado, lyricism and heavy production, with the duo staunchly declaring that the only competition worth facing is your own. Serving as the inaugural release from SNARE and Anonymouz's
new upcoming body of work, The Emperor’s New La’ei - Leai Se Paga translates to "no partner, no match" in Sāmoan, with the track showcasing SNARE’s bilingual lyrical prowess, exploring the challenges and pitfalls of bad habits, redemption and the invaluable lessons learned along the way.
This single also drops fresh in the wake of another recent major collaboration alongside other NZ Hip Hop artists for the newly commissioned track and video They Taking Pictures of Us in the Water that premiered to critical acclaim at the recent COP28 United Nations conference held in Dubai, UAE which features Audrey Brown-Pereira, Rizván, SNARE, Sven Illy, Judah Kidd, Illseff and Snowman.
