Auckland, March 19 (IANS) Grammy Award-winning rapper Kendrick Lamar, who is here to headline the Auckland City Limits Music Festival, took his first-ever helicopter ride on a visit to the Waiheke Island in the Hauraki Gulf of New Zealand.

What a way to see Auckland, Ive been able to take my first ever helicopter ride and check out this stunning city from the sky, Lamar said in a statement.

I want to buy a house here, have a studio, make some music... Its so peaceful here. I want to do everything here, get out on the water on a boat, enjoy the views... Do the butterfly! Haha, he added.
