PNC is the stage name for popular New Zealand rapper Sam Hansen.
PNC is an acronym for Palmerston North City, the place where he was born. PNC gained underground notoriety performing alongside Auckland's Breakin Wreckwordz. His unofficial single Day In The Life stayed at number one on the Bfm charts for three weeks. He followed that with appearances on P-Money's 321 Remix, Get Back and the NZ chart topping Stop The Music single from the Magic City album.
At the age of 21 he has already worked with seminal NZ artists such as Scribe, DJ Sir-Vere, Frontline, Dawn Raid and Chong Nee.
PNC has since been signed to P-Money's Dirty Records where he had released his début album Rookie Card. The first two singles, Bomb! and Just Roll, were relatively successful songs in New Zealand. He followed with hit singlesWho Betta Than This (which samples the song 3,2,1 Remix) and P-N-Whoah. PNC is among the most successful New Zealand rappers, along with Scribe, Savage, Frontline and Mareko.
His Debut album Rookie Card has won the best Urban/Hip-Hop album at the 2007 Vodafone Music Awards in New Zealand.
He is currently working on his second album which is due to be released in 2008. His first single of the upcoming album is titled "Moonlight".
