Local hip-hop act Smashproof have broken a 23-year-old chart record thanks to their hit single Brother.

Brother has spent 10 weeks at No. 1 on the New Zealand singles charts, smashing the previous record of nine weeks held by All Of Us' Sailing Away since 1986.

"We’re totally overwhelmed," Smashproof said in a statement. "We never expected Brother to get this big - we were stoked to get to number one, but breaking a record? That’s massive!

"We really just want to thank everyone who has supported the track and especially all the fans who have bought it."

Smashproff consists of Deach, Tyree and Young Sid, and the single features soul singer Gyn Wigmore.
