REMINDER: Inertia 5 today at Noon

In case you forgot, the lightsleepers will be hosting Inertia 5 this afternoon at Momilani Elementary in Pearl City.  This event is a fundraiser for Grace Bible Church’s Youth Ministries and Missions teams.  On the docket for the event are one-on-one and crew b-boy battles, live painting and art exhibitions.  There’s going to be tons of heads at the event, so bring your camera, your blackbook and some money to help support this worthy cause.

Also, don’t forget that it’s Lofa’s birthday party, so get him something.  Also, check out the epic blackbook battle he’s hosting, with tons of prizes going to the winner, and the best artists in Hawaii creating dope work on the spot.

Again, it goes down today at Noon at Momilani Elementary in Pearl City.  it’s located at the top of the hill on Waimano Home Road.  I’m pretty sure there will be signs posted.

Trip The Lights: Beat Root GRAND CHAMPIONSHIP

This is IT, you guys.  The final Beat Root (for now) goes down this Friday night, the 29th (leap year!) .  Four of the past winners (Opposite, Ques?, Lael’s Beats and Sentr1c) will be vying for the Grand Championship title with two of the most consistent competitors in the Beat Root series (S.T.U. and Humdrummin).  The title of Hawaii’s best beatmaker is on the line and thes guys will be giving it their all at rRed Elephant.

BUT!  That’s not the only thing going down this Friday night.  Oh no, because the lightsleepers have packed this night to the gills with an amazing array of performers.

Look for performances by Hawaii’s own and the Bay Area’s finest Joe Dub and the bulk of Canada’s hip hop scene with Factor, Kay the Aquanaut, Forgetfull Jones, Def3 and Kirby Dominant coming along side the ride.  Also performing are some of Hawaii’s illest, Rhyme Da Old Man will be throwing down, as well as Grip H and Juan P aka the Perfect Median and Showdown in Chinatown winners from the Hidden Habitats, Timer1 and DJ Bumblebee.

On top of ALL THAT, there’s also going to be art installations by The Starfish Guy, KOAK, Shaun Castro, Stanstill, Nicolai and a whole bunch more.

PLUS!  There’s also gonna be a blackbook battle based on the word “Primo,” sponosred by Art Primo.

I don’t know how they’ll be able to get everything in before 1am, but I’m hoping they do.  This is gonna be the greatest night in Hawaii Hip-Hop history.  No doubt in my mind.

Props to in4mation, XPRMNT, Prolifik, Skull Candy, Easy Music Center, Art Primo and Vitamin Water for making this all possible.
