Offside

**Offside** is a gritty hip-hop collective hailing from Auckland, New Zealand, known for their raw, streetwise storytelling and hard-hitting beats. Formed in 2017, the group consists of members Spycc, Smokey, and Eno, who blend their lived experiences into tracks like *Back To The Streets* and *Blood Money*, painting vivid pictures of loyalty, hustle, and life in South Auckland. Their sound—a mix of trap rhythms and punchy lyricism—catches attention with anthems like *BIG BOSS* and *Brotherhood*, which double as shoutouts to their tight-knit crew and community roots.

Offside’s music often reflects their DIY ethos, partnering with local producers and artists (like fellow NZ heavyweights Church & AP) to amplify their unapologetic vibe. Part of the Dirty South collective, they’ve carved a space in Aotearoa’s hip-hop scene by staying authentic to their roots, whether they’re dropping music videos in their neighborhood streets or repping their brotherhood mantra. Keep an eye on these guys—they’re all about turning struggle into strength, one bass-heavy banger at a time.
