Loui The ZU (Auckland)
It's hard to believe Loui The ZU (formerly just ZU) has spent a mere 17 years on this planet, such is the breadth of his creativity and the depth of his undeniable talent. Already an accomplished songwriter beyond his years, ZU is artist, MC, and producer. In the face of an increasingly banal and insincere hip-pop world, Loui the ZU is beyond refreshing. His recent release LBSB: The Fruits of My Labour is worth your time and download limit.
