I don’t keep up with Hawaii music releases by any stretch. I liked the now old stuff like C&K, Kalapana, Braddah Iz, Olomana, brothers Caz, etc.. The newer reggae and hip stuff the family likes and I listen to passively but don’t pay much attention to who the artists are, what latest releases…

My and Lou’s Collection
