Jujulipps is a South African raised, Tāmaki Makaurau based rapper and hip hop artist full of promise. 

She first burst onto the New Zealand music scene in 2021 with her unflinching single Hilary Banks which landed Jujulipps on the SRN charts across Aotearoa. 

Two years on her punchy song Airplane Mode won Te Tōtahi Toa (Favourite Single), i kawea mai ki a koutou nā Independent Music New Zealand (IMNZ) at the Student Radio Network Awards in 2023. 

The trophy’s keep coming. In April she won the Auckland Live Best Independent Debut for her EP Get That Shot at the Taite Music Awards. An accolade she says she was very grateful for. 

Her confidence, energy and charm give her an attitude cut out for the music business. An industry she says she has learnt how to navigate thanks to her supportive label Big Pop Records. 

Jujulipps is hustling to finish work on a new remix project and  working night shifts and working early mornings in the studio to deliver a  fresh release with alternative rapper Zaidoon Nasir aka WHO SHOT SCOTT producing the record. New music she says she is proud of and is penned for release later this year.
