Auckland rapper's collaboration with Kanye West's producer

Brittany Keogh Reporter from Auckland Stuff

Hi neighbours, Auckland-based rapper Mustafa Sheikh, who performs as Lil Mussie, worked with the producer of three of Kanye West’s Grammy-winning albums on his new single.
The collaboration led to him having a "surreal" FaceTime call with West - one of his biggest inspirations. Sheikh's music is inspired by his work supporting Kiwi kids experiencing poverty through the charity he founded called Bread. Find out more about him and his work in the below story and video.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
