In New Zealand, Eminem remains one of the most successful chart acts of all time. Of his eight albums released here, 7 of them went to #1 - spending a combined 227 weeks in the official NZ Top40 Charts. He has hit the top of the Singles Chart 6 times, including Without Me and Lose Yourself, and most recently with his 2010 Rihanna collaboration Love The Way You Lie which was the second biggest selling single that year.
RIANZ has certified The Slim Shady LP (1999) 3 x platinum, The Marshall Mathers LP (2000) 7 x platinum, The Eminem Show (2002) 9 x platinum, Encore (2004) 4 x platinum, Curtain Call (2005) 6 x platinum and Recovery (2010) 2 x platinum.
KENDRICK LAMAR: a blinding ray of rap genius from the sunshine state, California, with his ground breaking album, good kid, m.A.A.d city, hits Swimming Pools and Poetic Justice, and crowned the new king of the West Coast by Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre.
J.COLE: chart-topping rapper who got the tick of approval from Jay-Z with his clever rhymes and intriguingl lyrical content, then followed through to deliver street savvy work including two No.1 albums, Cole World: The Sideline Story, and his latest Born Sinner.
DAVID DALLAS: The forefront of New Zealand hip-hop, David Dallas has just released his new album Falling Into Place. The album is a continuation of form from Dallas, following on from the acclaimed The Rose Tint and Buffalo Man. It features the hard hitting, anthemic single Runnin’, which is tearing up the singles charts.
“I am really excited to be working with Eminem on Rapture, an annual event with a long term vision of showcasing
the best of the best in hip-hop at affordable prices to the punter,” promoter Paul Dainty said.

A former chef, this Queens MC and former XXL Cover Freshman is known for his gritty style and slick rhymes. His latest EP Saaab Stories debuted
Top 10 in the US and solidified his position as one of the hottest rappers today.
Action Bronson: Born and raised in Flushing, Queens, Bronson wasn’t even ten when an illicit copy of the Wu-Tang Clan album 36 Chambers landed in the tape deck at a friend’s sleepover party. His life changed forever and soon he discovered another idol, Kool G Rap. Bronson later studied at the Art Institute of New York City’s culinary program and went on to join the restaurant business as a chef, but in 2009 he exited the kitchen and entered the studio. In 2011 he would release his debut album, Dr. Lecter. In 2012, he released Blue Chips, a collaborative album with Brooklyn-based producer Party Supplies, while the Alchemist-helmed mixtape Rare Chandeliers followed later in the year. His 2013 EP Saaab Stories was produced by Harry Fraud and launched his major-label deal with Warner Bros. via the Vice imprint.
