Frontline is a New Zealand hip hop music group formed in 2001.

History

The New Zealand hip hop group known as 'Frontline' is a two man hip hop team: Samoan-European MC David Dallas (also known as Con Psy) and producer and DJ . Con Psy won the 2003 Auckland MC Battle For Supremacy and 41 has won the 2000 Auckland ITF Championships.

After meeting in 2001 in Auckland, the pair formed some tracks together & released a street album 'What You Expect?'. During this time Maclaren produced tracks for the likes of the 'Deceptikonz', 'Mareko' and more while Dallas completed a BSc in computing. Without any formal broadcasting, the album moved over 1200 copies.

The duo hooked up with premier New Zealand DJ P Money (also known as Peter Wadams).He signed Frontline to his co-owned record label 'Dirty Records'. He then offered Dallas' skills to Scribe's multi#1 single 'Not Many-The Remix!' featured on Scribe's five times platinum album 'The Crusader'.

In 2004, P-Money's 2nd album 'Magic City' saw three appearances by Dallas; 'Get Up Slow', 'Get Back' (also featuring Dirty Records labelmate 'PNC') & '321 Remix' (also featuring 'Skillz' & 'PNC'). He also appears on the Breakin Wreckwordz mixtapes 'Breakin Wreckwordz Vol 1.' & 'Fuck Music', Sirvere's 'Major Flavours' collective & Breakinwreck artist Louie Knuxx's album 'Wasted Youth'. 41 produced PNC's mixtape 'Ohhhhh On The PNC Tip'.

Frontline have now released their debut album 'Borrowed Time', released October 2005. The album has produced the singles 'Breathe With Me', 'What 'Was You Thinkin", 'Hold 'Em' and 'Lost In Translation'.

In early March 2006, Frontline and P-Money opened for Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda and his side-project/band "Fort Minor" at the Australia and New Zealand shows.

Frontline won Best Hip Hop / Urban Album at the 2006 New Zealand Music Awards for 'Borrowed Time'.
