He started his career with the seminal NZ band Supergroove. Shortly after he broke from the band in 1996, he released his first single ‘Chains’ a duet with DLT that went straight to #1 on the NZ Singles charts, and stayed there for 5 consecutive weeks. It went on to reach Platinum and was the landmark single that brought NZ Hip Hop to mass attention.
Che Fu has released three solo albums and one greatest hits compilation: 2b S.PACiFiC, Navigator, and Beneath The Radar and Hi-Score: The Best of Che-Fu.
Navigator is a combination of 13 tracks developed musically and lyrically by Che Fu. His love of reggae, funk, soul, rap and hip hop were his inspiration. "Fade Away" and "Random" were the first two singles released off the album, and both did well in the New Zealand charts. His album also sees him collaborate with D.J P-Money and The Villajah M.Cs.

Touch The Floor
Che Fu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make yourself some room and follow through
Then skank if you like it, skank if you need it
Skank if you live it and nothing else.
Calling real heads to touch the floor
and turn it on
Calling all real heads to hit the floor
Calling all real heads to hit the floor
Calling real heads to turn it on
Happy to just flex without no scare
Feel the wave come feel the shake, let beats
caress your ears!
Therapy for body therapy for mind
Give therapy to music when the vinyl drops tonight
When you see your DJ let them know your there
Move up to the front and linger if you dare
Soldiers stop your beering now, and let your sneakers slide
Dance with your heart not dance with your eyes think, about it or should i say don't pick a ryhme and flow.
Calling real heads to touch the floor
and turn it on
Calling all real heads to hit the floor
Calling all real heads to hit the floor
And turn it on
Calling real heads to turn it on
Flare in the sky your enter in
Scope'd yourself a haven now you can come test your spin
Round and round star you counter punch all evil trades!
Technique derived from culture unless your function strays!
Focuse brothers and sisters come and take your lead.
Feel the power, groove, along stake your claim.
Calling real heads to touch the floor
and turn it on
Calling all real heads to hit the floor
Calling all real heads to hit the floor
And turn it on
Calling real heads to turn it on
The lyrics of Che Fu's song "Touch The Floor" encourage listeners to let go of inhibition and allow the music to move them. The opening lines suggest that movement is essential in order to fully appreciate and embrace the scenery, implying that dancing or moving to the music is a way of engaging with the world around us. The chorus serves as a rallying cry for "real heads" to hit the floor and turn on the music, suggesting that there is a community of like-minded individuals who share a passion for the music being played.
The song also touches on themes of therapy and healing, with the suggestion that music has the power to be therapeutic for both the mind and body. The verse "therapy for body therapy for mind / give therapy to music when the vinyl drops tonight" suggests that music can be a form of self-care and a way to find solace or release from stress or anxiety.
Throughout the lyrics, there is a sense of celebration and joy surrounding the act of dancing and engaging with music. The song encourages listeners to let go of their inhibitions, move to the front of the crowd, and dance with their hearts rather than their eyes. Ultimately, "Touch The Floor" is an anthem for those who love to dance, celebrating the joy and freedom that comes from letting go and allowing music to move you.
