OFFICIAL Hawaii MC Cypher 2011
This is a great concept, especially for our Hawaii scene. An ongoing online rhyme fest in and out of fun. I really want to see this thing go far out into the world. Bombz explains the details, Osna elaborates a bit more, TKO gives you a tour of his home, and Omega6 serves his justice well with an amazing display of words.

DJ Packo – Rocking The Planet (Mighty4 Edit)
This is the extended version of a scratch freestyle over Hashim’s “We’re Rocking The Planet” joint that I did for the creators/leaders/friends over at the Mighty4 camp, Paulskee & RawkBeez
(excerpt from site)
“Paulskeee rocks coast to coast with Cros1′s Freestyle Session x Rock The Bells tour in Cali & NYC. Then get your notepad ready as the Legendary BBoy Float drops gems growing up as a BBoy in NYC in the late 70s – 80s.
Music by DJ Packo, Rasheed Chappell & http://www.swtbrds.com”;

The flyer says it all. Unlike a tomato-stuffed, bandaged hippo’s mouth cavity.
Little Dragon @ Next Door HNL
Some strive for perfection, others strive to maintain it. Then there’s Little Dragon, the band who embodies that whole perfection jive. Amongst a sold out crowd, I’m fortunate to have witnessed the talents and auras that is Little Dragon. Exhilaration took over my emotions as they took the stage. I’m convinced that this has been among the highlights of my 2011. Some things come into your life at a perfect time, sans coincidences, since they really don’t exist anymore. Timing is everything and Little Dragon is just that: on time, in tune, and outrageously great at what they do. Probably one of the best live bands that I’ve seen in a minute. At no surprise, I was moved on how much they sound and play like their records, never missing a beat. The band’s chemistry is impressive, as they all take you on their own little journeys in the mind. And, if marrying a voice was ever physically possible, I would give Yukimi’s a fat diamond right on that C-Note of hers. Last night was true beauty exemplified through music and dance.
An additional thanks to Clones of the Queen, DJ Delve, DJ Matt Ratt, Ara Laylo, and Next Door for making great things happen.

In other groupie news, I think it’s safe to say that I might be the only one on the island with one of these diddies: 
oh, and just for kicks, watch these again, and again…

Suspendmag.com Review for L.A. Got Aloha
A great review of the L.A. Got Aloha trip/event here: http://www.suspendmag.com/2011/08/so-much-aloha-feat-la-got-aloha-2011/
a few snaps from the night/site…
Water Writes
Large up the kanaka maoli aqua movement. Forever grateful for the talents of Estria & John Prime. We know where their true hearts lie.
San Diego Skratch Sessions at the Fresh Yard
On my recent visit to San Diego, got a chance to link up with fellow skratch artists to jam in broad daylight. Nothing better than a tables full of tables. Some of the featured DJ’s include Rayted R, Konfusion (Handdroidz), IQ (Handdroidz), and Juyadek amongst others.
I personally like when i slam the cam down (around 01:50), forgetting it was my turn to cut.
