Tihei: The Kiwi Freestyle Rapper

Kiwi Freestyler: 'Pick A Topic & I'll Rap For You'

Loading Docs is a New-Zealand production company that helps nurture local talent. They work with filmmakers who aim to captivate audiences with stories strong enough to be told within three minutes.

At heart, this particular documentary is a story about the different ways we feel comfortable to communicate.

For Tihei it's through freestyle rap. The moment he starts singing you can see his confidence rise. It's incredible to believe he can string together the rhythm and rhymes on the spot.

But that's just the surface of the story.

As you listen into what Tihei has to say, you become aware of the struggles he has faced and you can't help but appreciate the beauty in the freedom of freestyle rap.
