AVAILBLE FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER ON 4LP
Homebrew released their self‐titled debut full‐length album in May 2012 to some critical acclaim. It hit number 1 on the New Zealand album charts in its first week, and is the first New Zealand hip hop album to top the charts since Scribe's album The Crusader in 2003.
The NZ Herald review says the album is a “bold and beautiful jazz‐influenced hip‐hop debut, delivered with a wry smile” and gave it 4.5 out of 5.
The Dominion Post reviewer Luke Appleby called it “nothing if not honest”, and overall judges it "one of the best, most genuine hip‐hop releases heard in recent years and rated it 5 out of 5.
In 2010 Home Brew were shortlisted for the New Zealand Music Awards Critics Choice Prize. In 2012 they won Best Urban / Hip Hop Album at the New Zealand Music Awards and were nominated for four others, including Best Group and Album of the Year.
