If YOU answered with an undoubtedly YES (in capitals) continue reading on:

AYEBRO is on the search for an additional reviewer to be a part of the team. ALL those wishing to express interest will be subjected to a staged out process much like you’d expect with any potential job application. Its simple and easy, the only thing required (along with basic personal information) at this point is a request that YOU submit a small writing peice about “N.Z Hip-Hop culture” (no longer than 100 word/s) One rule is key, that being the body of work sent through as a submission (1 per person) is entirely in YOUR own words – Reasons to believe this condition hasnt been adhered to will result in an instant default. Finer details on this role await those lucky enough to survive the screening scrotany to be short-listed.

There is no ideal candidate, simply as long as people are honest, unique, edgy and show true character – YOU will fare well come time to nominate our finalists. Dead-line is approaching, get writing!

• NOTE: ALL entries must include the following – FULL NAME / ALIAS (Optional) / GENDER / E-MAIL / CONTACT NO (Optional) / OTHER LINKS (Optional) and of course YOUR 100 word essay about “N.Z Hip-Hop culture”

Well done to Jared Watene, Aleyna Martinez, Toby Davis and Diana Stowers for making it through to the FINAL 4. Read below to see whats in store for them.

First of all – Hands together in a spastic fashion for making it this far guys! The final task awaits yous, so let me break it down. Everyone has 48 hr/s (Fri 12 – Sun 12noon) to submit a review. Format and approach is solely at your own discretion, which will allow each ones uncanny penmanship to be on display. As goes for this step AYEBRO has 1 rule to abide by, that being there is to be NO profanity, derogatory or cussing based words / phrases contained in your submission. An automatic disqualification will be exercised if such content is present so its advised to be crucial when editing the draft of what is to be handed in. Enough said, I look forward to seeing what is produced from now up to the deadline – Good luck!
