The French Dunny series release at Urbanz Toys garnered some mainstream media attention, as the Star-Bulletin sent out a team (writer Gary Chun, photographer Cindy Ellen Russell, and videographer Jason Gengabus) to cover the happenings for a features story.

Well, the story ran yesterday and it was very positive, equating the vinyl toy market to one of urban youth and art appreciation.  What was also pretty dope was the accompanying video with the article.  Very well done with interviews with buttrpecan1, Kathy and a shot of myself holding the very classy combination of White Wine and French Fries.

SideRoad Records vs. Siq Records

As a precursor to the greatest night in the history of Hawaii Hip-Hop, the Siq Records crew will unite with the SideRoad Records crew for an amazing event mixing the best of Hawaii and Canada.

The show will be co-headlined by Hawaii’s own Hunger Pains, the Bay’s finest- Joe Dub, and
the pride of Saskatchewan- Factor.

Also on the bill is an amazing amount of the SideRoad and Siq family at one spot, including Creed Chameleon, Kirby Dominant, Meiso, Pure, Packo, Kay the Aquanaut, Forgetful Jones and Def3.  This is not your ordinary Thursday night jumpoff, this is a night full of amazing hip-hop spanning two countries.

The entire event goes down 9PM this Thursday night at the Lotus Soundbar on Kuhio Ave. This is a 21+ affair, so kids, stay home or wait until the next night at Trip the Lights when it’s all ages.
