By his own admission, most of New Zealand will have never heard for Diaz Grimm. His fan base to date is mostly friends of friends and "people that follow my Mum's Facebook page".
But Anika Moa predicts there are big things to come for the Kiwi rapper.
"I've been listening to his music for the last hour or so and I love it."
Grimm has been making hip hop for three years and recently released his debut album Osiris, which received a four-star review from the Herald's Chris Schulz.
