New Zealand wins 2007 World Hip Hop Championships

NZ Hip Hop crew - Xbox 360 NZ Ambassadors, have just taken out the World Hip Hop title in an all out World final held in Belgrade, Serbia at 10pm on Saturday 20th October. They took out the title ahead of Denmark who took the silver, with South Africa taking out bronze. The team won with four vs one, number one judge rankings.

The crew is made up of the Aitken triplets, Joanna, Danica and Kelly Aitken and 3 Dziah members, Ma’alona Mafaufau, Jan Book and Allister Salaivao who qualified to represent NZ in the event over 6 months ago at the National Championships in NZ. The Aitken triplets have competed previously in Aerobics, holding over 10 national titles and World Silver and Bronze medals. The Dziah boys have also competed in previous World hip hop events in LA, taking out the silver in 2005. NZ Hip Hop judge Tanya Houpt is over the moon at the team’s success.
