Funk Village

Formed in 2003 Funk Village are a duo Rap Crew from Hamilton, New Zealand. The group consists of members Hira Williams aka "Hitz" who is a Producer and Emcee and Matt Clark aka "Kortaz" who is also an Emcee. Both endured lives growing up in the Suburbs of Nawton, with low decile schooling and broken homes. Hitz and Kortaz both grew up facing these particular challenges in life,not knowing that every experience would one day develop into something motivating and educational. They first peformed at Beat Street Hamilton in 2003, with very little material to use for a 15min slot on stage. Within a week, beats were gathered and lyrics were written. From here on out the journey would take the pair to places un thought of prior to writing ryhmes. Both Hitz and Kortaz have natural stage presence which is obvious during one of their now many live stage performances. Highlights for the pair include Hosting Radio Shows,MC'z for several events,Paper interviews,MC Battle titles(Kortaz)and more shows than the average rapper in Hamilton. Like every crew you have your ups and down in life, and priorities can take place of things that you like. So over the years, even though the pair have been void on the mainstream scene, they are slowly but surely making a respected path in the underground. Funk Village are definately a crew to watch out for in the years to come. One-Kortaz
