"Her magnificent mongrel beats and eloquent satirising of sex, materialism and pop culture will have you thinking, laughing and dancing, all at the same time." - Grant Smithies - Sunday Star Times

"ludicrously brilliant... the creativity is rampant"- Jim Pinckney - NZ Listener

"Coco Solid proves their wit, charm and downright sassiness... Awesome shit." - Andrew Tidball - www.cheeseontoast.co.nz

Electrik Love Video directed by Aleks Sakowski

"like Princess Superstar or Peaches, but its far more clever and has a cheeky exuberance that most hip-hop of any flavour lacks. This shit is cool Michael Bertin, Austin Chronicle (US).

COCO SOLID toured their album DENIM & LEATHER to Europe and the US. London's Time Out likened them to MIA while German crowds packed out factories and super clubs, chanting along to songs and the LA art scene applauded their "droll" lyrics.
"like any truly original record, Denim & Leather rewards with multiple listens and gradually gets under your skin. This is hip-hop with a difference and its kicking" TNT (UK).

Coco first released an underground mix cassette tape RAP N ROLL in 2003 recruiting MCs and friends, among them the DJ come deep-voiced cameo ERIK ULTIMATE.
