Since arriving on the scene with his debut EP K.O.T.I.C (Kids of the City) Diggy Dupé has become a core member of the Auckland hip hop community. In demand as a feature artist, he’s appeared on many releases including projects by SWIDT, ChoiceVaughan and Church & AP.  The 2019 Vodafone NZ Music Awards finalist for ‘Best Hip Hop Act’, Dupé’s inspiration and stories are always about being a Central Auckland Polynesian – family, his Niuean heritage, gentrification and identity are recurring themes in his music. 

Diggy Dupé & Friends Present The Panthers, perform songs from The Panthers soundtrack, a six-part drama series about the rise of the activist group Polynesian Panthers in the 1970’s – a powerful melange of 70’s vibe, with modern hip-hop and R&B.
