An Auckland hip-hop crew have released a song with lyrics that threaten to kill Prime Minister John Key and have sex with his daughter.
Kill The PM, by @peace, depicts a golfing, luxury car-driving Key, and says he should die – “ain’t doin’ nothin’ so I’m gonna kill the prime minister”.
It continues: “I been tryin’ to get a job but they got none/so I instead I got a sawnoff shotgun/and ‘pop’.”
The crew is fronted by Tom Scott, formerly of Homebrew, along with Lui Tuiasau, Christoph “El Truento” James and Hayden “Dick Dastardly” Dick.
In the leadup to the 2011 election, Homebrew released a track attacking tax cuts for the rich and a low minimum wage.
The latest offering also refers to having sex with Key’s daughter, Stephanie.
A spokesman for Key said last night that he had no plans to listen to the song.
“The prime minister is not aware of the song and does not intend to listen to it. He will leave it to others to judge.”
Kill the PM, which is available for download, is also being hosted on Internet Party founder Kim Dotcom’s file-sharing site Mega.
Last month, Dotcom encouraged a crowd at Internet’s “party party” in Wellington to chant: “F… John Key.”
@peace received $6000 in funding from NZ On Air last month to make a music video for their track Gravity.
Homebrew boasted a substantial Kiwi fanbase, and were nominated in four categories at the 2012 New Zealand Music Awards.
