Brother (Smashproof song)

"Brother" is a single by New Zealand hip hop group Smashproof, released in early 2009.

It also had minor notoriety in Germany, reaching number eighty-one on their national chart.

[2] The song broke a 23-year-old record by clocking up the longest consecutive run at number-one by a local act on the New Zealand Singles Chart.

The record was previously set by the America's Cup-themed single "Sailing Away" by All of Us, which spent nine consecutive weeks at the top in 1986.

The song's lyrics concern the January 2008 killing of alleged tagger Pihema Cameron in Manukau, New Zealand by Bruce Emery.
