Mai i ngā whakaaturanga hip-hop ki ngā papa puoro DJ, ka ea ō hiahia i ngā waiata rōreka me ngā nekehanga autaia hei te mutunga wiki.
Hei te ahiahi pō o te Rāmere hono atu ki a Rina Chae (Mother of Imperial House of Waacking NZ) mō te whakaaturanga matua. He pakanga kanikani kei te haere, me uaua ka kite! E rima ngā kapa kanikani ka eke, ka pakanga, kaua noa iho kia kīia he toa, engari kia tū mai hei kanohi mō ngā whenua katoa o te ao, kia whakanui hoki i te ahurea me te kanorau o te ao kanikani i roto mai o Aotearoa.
Mehemea he waiata tāu e kimi nei, tīkina mai he inu, tauria atu he tūru, kia rongo ai koe i ētahi o ngā oro waitī nā ngā kaiwaiata pēnei i a Che Fu, i a Imugi, i ngā kaituku waiata papai o Aotearoa, ka mutu, i ngā whetū maiangi nō ngā ākonga o mua o Stand Up Stand Out (SUSO).
Ka whakaaturia hoki ētehi kiriata i waho (pēnei i te whakaari puoro rongonui, a In The Heights, me ngā kiriata hākori), ka wātea hoki ki a koe te kani tahi ki a Freshmans Dance Crew hei whakapakari i ō pūkenga, arā noa atu hoki ngā mahi. Tirohia te wātaka me ngā rārangi mahi katoa i raro nei!
I a koe i konei, tēnā, tū mai ki te timo kai me te horo inu i ngā waka kai, toro atu rānei ki te Container in the Square Café.
