Political, raw, unapologetic, all expressions you could use to describe Big Sima’s music, the epitome of what a true student to the art of rhyme looks like when entrenched in the patterns and delivery of a modern day poet laureate. Stories of addiction, racism, childhood trauma and conversion therapy are just some of the themes you will come across when listening to his new album. But don’t get it twisted, the production is far from what you would expect, enlisting one of our country's most groundbreaking producers in Tiki Taane. After four years of hard mahi together at ‘Tiki Dub Solar Powered Studios’ in sunny Papamoa it seems the duo have finally released Sima's debut LP (much to critical acclaim), aptly named ‘Stereotypes Of A Polynesian Misunderstood.’ This album has been dubbed a certified classic by critics and fans alike - in contrast to many other rap albums that have a selection of separate pieces, this is a complete body of work. Big Sima is back in 2023 alongside seven piece band Boomtown, with two new projects on the horizon, new visuals in the pipeline and a 10 date summer tour in the bank, the winter tour is ready for announcement. This is certainly looking to be something very special…tbc.
