SkyLine Films & Media was on location at Hank's Cafe located in the heart of Chinatown last evening for what was plain and simple a showing of love for one of Hawaii's own, High Chief XL, Walter Saole. Hawaii's hip-hop scene showed up in full force with live performances by some of the best "HI-State" hip-hop artist from all islands and special appearances by Rakaa from Dilated Peoples & world famous DJ Babu were in the building to also pay tribute.
Some may think of only island sounds hailing from the 808 state, but nothing could be further from the truth. Like the volcano on the Big Island, the hip-hop scene here is very active with the movement growing stronger by day.
