- Savage - I Love The Islands
- Sam Wicks rolls to Samoa with the Dawn Raid crew to feel the love for this local hip hop star. 16 May 2009 (duration: 38′05″)
from (20 May 2009)
Samoans are a proud people, and a source of that pride in recent times has been the Stateside successes of South Auckland’s own, Savage.
His hip hop single ‘Swing’ has now clocked up 1.5 million sales and counting, and the upward trajectory of his career has brought his label Dawn Raid Entertainment back from the brink.
In ‘I Love the Islands’, Sam Wicks rolls with Samoan rap royalty on the return home to shoot the video to Savage’s new single ‘I Love the Islands’ and feel the Island love.
