"I was surprised to see this on amazon due to the fact that when i use to search for this cd on here ages ago it never showed up and now im hyped to see it on here! Let me tell you this album is sooooo incredible its insane. Pure soulful i havent heard and so soulful in a long time. this album blows any RnB act in the states away and i know it live in cali. And the hiphop influence on the album is sick as well, nothing like it trust me!! Also check out their first album 2 Be South Pacific also a beautiful album..."

"Che fu is well known across New Zealand and the South Pacific and was one of the early pioneers of the New Zealand Hip Hop scene which is characterised by a distinctive upbeat Pacific feel. Forget Gangster rap this stuff rocks our world. Navigator is Che fu's second album and is has a well produced Urban sound wheras his debut album 2B Spacific (itself a masterpiece) showed a rawer Pacific influence. Che Fu has the voice of a sweet soul singer rather than the typically gravelly voice of a hip hop star. The songs here then are a mixture of dancable beats and soulful ballads showcasing Che's dversity. Che Fu is a truly unique artist with a sound all of his own, he created one of the hottest genres of music downunder and it is great to see that Amazon have finally discovered this prodigious talent. If you like what you hear (and I am sure you will) then check out the Rappier Samoan King Kapisi's debut 'savage thoughts' and the young RnB sounds of Nesian Mystic's 'polyunsaturated.' Buy this and tell your freinds about it - you wont be disappointed."
