I like how Scribe (he's a guy, not a group) has plenty of songs that break the mould. With most widely-popular hip-hop, the songs are about the joys of brothel-keeping or some such anti-socialness. Usually, you've got to look for underground, under-appreciated artists to get some kind of meaningful message - but not so with NZ material. Scribe, Che Fu and King Kapisi can all be upbeat and impressively positive.
