Welcome to the Official Scalper site where you can keep updated with all the goings on.

Scalper is Nadeem Shafi, born and raised in East London of Pakistani descent. First seen in Aotearoa New Zealand at WOMAD 1997 as the vocalist for the British band Fun-da-mental. Now based on the wild West Coast of Auckland, having moved here in 2007. Scalper is Hip Hop like you’ve never heard it before. Moody, gritty beats with introspective lyrics that conjure visions of epic proportions, and an electrifying live performance that demands attention.

Interview airing Thursday March 4th 2010 on Radio NZ “The Music Mix” with Nick Atkinson.

11:06 pm The Music Mix
Nick Atkinson presents a contemporary music magazine, with interviews and music.

“The Music Mix goes bush to talk to rapper, producer and chicken farmer Nadeem Shafi, alias Scalper… We find Scalper in a state of inspiration; waxing on unity and the magnificent unlikelihood of existence. A Londoner of Pakistani stock, Nadeem calls on a diverse and street-savvy collection of influences. A deeply urban man making records in his converted rural laundry.”
