Album Review: Home Brew - Home Brew

Auckland hip-hop group Home Brew first hit our radar around five years ago through the Soulchef produced Home Brew Light EP. Since then they've circuitously built an unavoidable buzz through giveaway free download EPs, hilarious viral video clips, raw dog twitter accounts, nationally reported controversies, genuine political protest, high impact live shows and even more high impact after parties. And with the early May release of their self-titled debut double album, they flipped half a decade of buzz into a debut at number one on the NZ top forty album chart; and threw a forty eight hour party in an old brothel. Along the way, Tom Scott, Haz Beatz (Tweetz), Lui Silk and their extended circle of musical collaborators have become in their own way, folkloric heroes on the local music and social networking circuits.
