Dam Native is a New Zealand hiphop group formed in 1992.
[edit] History
Dam Native was a New Zealand Hip-Hop group that was prominent during the mid to late 1990s. Its members consisted of Danny Haimona and Bennett Pomana and also at times DJ Raw. The group formed in 1992 under the name Native Base. For a time Dam Native was New Zealands only active Hip-Hop group. To release a single and an album at a time when the industry was virtually void of any New Zealand Hip-Hop led slowly to their becoming New Zealands premier Hip-Hop group.
The groups music was of a political strain focusing on Māori issues and other political issues relating to New Zealand. The group have released one album, titled Kaupapa Driven Rhymes Uplifted (sometimes shortened to K.D.R.U.).
