Friday: "Flow"

There's a new opportunity for local hip-hop artists to get stage time in a mainstream nightclub, thanks to Level H Productions, Funky4Corners and Stonegrooveradio.com.

"Flow" is a new monthly showcase for local artists, with a pre-show cypher and post-game freestyle battle (with $100 cash prize) also planned. The first night will feature live performances by Krystilez, J-Sac and T-Qron.

Wednesday: Maacho and Cool Connection

Island roots reggae veteran Maacho (left) and Cool Connection make the journey into Waikiki this month for a series of gigs at Zanzabar.

Doors open at 8 p.m. through Jan. 31 for the 18-and-over crowd, with Maacho and crew playing an early set that will wrap up around 11 p.m. With $3 validated parking available at the Waikiki Trade Center, there's no excuse to not make a mid-week trip for some early evening skanking action!
