Whanganui rap group Machete Clan's grassroots rise has caught the eye of national television with the group to feature on Three's Jono and Ben.
The show's Guy Williams was in Wanganui over the weekend filming with the group for a segment which will appear in the coming weeks.
Machete Clan traces back to when Whanganui musician Isaac Chamberlain began producing tracks in 2013.
"It was me making music and people came on and spit a rap here and there," he said.
That settled into a group which became Machete Clan which has so far produced two albums and an EP.
