Southside duo Brown Bruthaz topped the chart once. All they need to do is drop the second album. Sounds easy, right?
Brown Bruthaz is a fast paced comedy about hitting the big time once - and trying to get back there again. Te Rangi Brown (Taungaroa Emile) and his brother Whetü (Scott Cotter) are The Brown Bruthaz, an R&B/Hip Hop duo whose combination of sweet harmonies and phat beats cut through with their massive hit Remove.
Yet, when we meet them, they're still living with their mum (Nicola Kawana) in South Auckland.
On the one hand they've been smart. Investing some of the profits in The Razor Bar and setting up their own record label.
Problem is, they've had - and spent - the advance on their second album.
It's time to deliver. Set against a soundtrack of original tracks commissioned for the series, Brown Bruthaz tells a story of classic sibling rivalry at its funniest, in a charged South Auckland setting.

Kōrero Mai is a unique mix of education and entertainment, KORERO MAI teaches Māori in an easy, clear and fun way using drama in the form of a soap opera, as well as a tutorial each week to maximise learning.
The drama – Akina – follows a group of contemporary Māori characters and uses bilingual dialogue in a way that illustrates the use and meaning of the Māori words and phrases. The amount of Māori used in the stories increases as the series progresses and the competence of viewers increases.
The weekly tutorial, presented by Matai Smith and Gabrielle Paringatai, recaps what happened in the drama and adds the basics such as counting, colours and the days of the week. Other segments teach waiata (songs), tikanga (customs), kupu hou (new words) and kiwaha (colloquial phrases).
Māori is one of New Zealand’s three official languages, and now is the time to learn it with KŌRERO MAI.
