Fast Crew
Fast Crew was a New Zealand hip hop group formed in Auckland in 1991. The group is best known for its high-energy live performances and blending of hip hop, funk, and reggae influences.
The core members of Fast Crew consisted of several individuals, though the lineup experienced some changes over the years. The group initially gained recognition within the Auckland hip hop scene, performing at local venues and events.
Fast Crew's music often featured socially conscious lyrics alongside party-oriented themes. They addressed issues facing urban youth in New Zealand and also celebrated aspects of Kiwi culture. Their sound drew comparisons to other international hip hop acts known for their fusion of genres.
While they achieved a degree of popularity within New Zealand and toured internationally, Fast Crew did not reach mainstream commercial success on a global scale. They remained a significant part of the New Zealand hip hop landscape during their active period.
