Ghostface Killah bought his relentless rap attack to Auckland's Powerstation.
Shania Twain, James Cameron, Serj Tankian ... and Ghostface Killah. Is the Wu-Tang Clan rapper about to join the ranks of super-celebs living in New Zealand?
It certainly seemed so after the charismatic hip-hop star - known as Dennis Coles to his mum - sermonised Auckland's Powerstation crowd about how
"at home" he feels when touring the country.
"It's like my spirit feels comfortable when I'm here. It feels like I could live here, like I belong here," he told his cheering fans at the mid-point of his mostly excellent show. "You love me, and I love y'all."
With his booming voice, fast-paced delivery and cheeky smile, Ghostface would be a welcome addition to the Kiwi hip-hop community.
His enigmatic presence, lively energy and quick-witted rhymes mean he's one of the better members of the legendary Staten Island hip-hop collective - and he has several classic albums of his own (check out 2006's Fishscale) under his belt with more than enough hits to fill his own show.
