Hip hop means everything to him. Take it away and he feels like a nobody. This is the sort of eccentric and complicated person Shattrholik is. He's someone who can pull himself out of the backwaters of New Zealand on the strength of his mixtapes and, a few years later, have an international radio hit. From the days of casually throwing down rhymes with friends in Hawkes Bay, New Zealand to becoming one of the most respected new talents on the global music scene has been a tough journey to say the least. Yet, few rappers have proven to be more determined and capable than Shattrholik, which probably explains the long list of high-profile collaborators eager to work with this young rising star. Shattrholik's upcoming album features world class artists The Outlaws, D12 (Kuniva, Swifty McVae) and Royce Da 5'9). Reporter Alexis Adams recently caught up with Shattrholik to learn more about this intriguing artist and his plans for the future. ALEXIS: When did you first discover your love of music?
