Mr Tee: Origins of Samoan Hip Hop in Solosolo | Area Codes

The OG Samoan hip hop artist Mr Tee takes us to his village of Solosolo, the birthplace of the song "Pitonu'u Solosolo" which was the anthem of the 685 parades in 2022.
Mr Tee tells us how his musical influences changed, resulting in starting Samoan Hip Hop with songs like "Fika Mai le Pese".

My favourite Samoan artist.
Love his play on Redhot Chilli Peppers, Beautiful Samoa, first song I heard from Mr Tee and searched for more of his music.
Keep up the good work.
