''4 Corners'' are MC's [[Koma]] ([[Charles Ngakoma Conner]]) and [[Hepaklypz]] ([[Hohepa Morgan]]), and DJ [[Omega B]] ([[Brett Wagner]]). They formed in 1998 from other Hamilton groups, including [[REAL]] ([[Omega B]]), [[Aziz]] ([[Koma]]) and [[Time Bandits]] (''Omega B'' and ''Koma''), and named themselves after the four elements of hip hop culture (MC-ing, DJ-ing, breaking, and bombing). <br>

They released a single "[[On the Downlow]]" in late 2005, and in 2006 released the single "[[By My Side]]" and their first album "[[Foundations]]", the latter featuring collaborations from the likes of ''P-Money'' and ''Che Fu''. Their videos, including "Get Back Down" (Feat. Tyra Hammond), "Now I Know" (Feat. Ladi6), "By My Side" (Feat. Maia Rata), and "On the Downlow", have received wide television airplay. The album was nominated for "Best Hip Hop/Urban album" at the 2007 Tui Awards. All their releases are on ''Disruptiv''. <br>

''4 Corners'' have also featured on ''P-Money''s album [[Big Things]], [[Koma]] and [[Hepaklypz]] have tracks on ''DJ Sir-Vere'''s [[Major Flavours 4]] compilation, and [[Omega B]] on [[Major Flavours 6]]. They have toured nationwide with ''Nesian Mystic'' and ''Misfits of Science'', played the Auckland ''Big Day Out'' festival in 2005 and 2007, and toured Australia several times. ''4 Corners'' have even played in Laos, only the second foreign band to do so, performing in from of 10 000 in an open air concert. Underlining their importance to New Zealand hip-hop, the group even received a name check on Scribe's song "Stand Up" (New Zealand's largest selling single for 2003): "''Yeah we taking over, tell "4 Corners" that we ain't holding back any longer''".<br>

+
At the 2006 Apra Silver Scroll awards ''4 Corners'' performed a remix of the ''Patea Maori Club'' classic "''Poi E''" with ''P-Money'' and the ''Patea Maori Club''. ''4 Corners'' have since given repeat performances of the song at the 2007 ''Parehaka Music Festival'' and ''Big Day Out''.
