Tipene - Pepeha [OFFICIAL VIDEO] feat C33Y, Rawhitiroa, Horomona Horo & Te Kahu Rolleston

*PEPEHA* is more than a song. It's a reminder of who we are. A pepeha is our introduction to the world. It connects us to our maunga, our awa, our iwi, our hapū, our marae, our whānau, and our whakapapa. Before we tell people what we do, we acknowledge where we come from. This project was about celebrating that identity through hip hop. One of the most powerful parts of this journey was bringing together people from all walks of life—not professional rappers, but Māori already doing incredible things in their own spaces. They trusted the process, stepped into Poutama Studio, and proved that rhythm lives within our people. You don't have to call yourself a rapper to tell your story. **Featuring C33Y, Te Rawhitiroa, Horomona Horo, and Te Kahu Rolleston**, this waiata is a celebration of whakapapa, unity, culture, and the strength that comes from knowing who you are. If this song resonates with you, share it with someone learning their pepeha, reconnecting with their whakapapa, or proud to stand in who they are. *Ko wai koe? What's your pepeha? Drop it in the comments.* #Pepeha #Tipene #Māori #TeReoMāori #HipHop #Whakapapa #Aotearoa #IndigenousMusic #PoutamaStudio #HeritageTrail3 #Rongoā #MusicIsTheMedicine
