In 2001, Auckland hip-hop artist Che-Fu got a call from one of the biggest names in the business. I have a lot of keepsakes that are more personal, but this is significant to me because of the unbelievability of being on a record with Wu-Tang Clan. I m still a bit humbled by it all.
Careful (Click, Click) Brown Panthers Mix was released in 2001 on 12-inch, and there are probably only about 20 copies in New Zealand. It s a little token that symbolises the work I was doing in this art form of hip-hop music at a time when it was still trying to break here. I felt vindicated getting the nod from the big homies.
