ill Hill Society “Rap Better” EP Release Party
One of my favorite Hawaii hip hop groups is ill Hill Society, they’ve got the swagger, dedication, and raw talent to make them a household name. Even though exhaustion was heavy on my eyelids, I wasn’t going to miss attending ill Hill Society’s “Rap Better” Release Party; after all they did perform at my blog’s 1st birthday party.

ill Hill Society’s “Rap Better” EP Release Party was held at The Venue; they packed the house with die-hard fans who appreciate talent, I’ve never seen such a strong and diverse following. All of the artists and hip hop groups leading up to ill Hill Society’s performance was filled with energy, dynamic stage presence, and heart; the entire night felt like a party, with everyone dancing, screaming “SWAG!” and throwing up / \ (←— those are hills for Ill Hill Society).
Here’s a list of sacrifices I made to support local music: a sore throat from cheering throughout ill Hill’s performance, my left knee hurts from dancing in heels, and a broken shutter button from taking too many pictures. Despite these morning after side effects, I wouldn’t trade last night for a quiet evening at home, sometimes you have to be reminded that it’s possible for anyone to achieve their dreams. Thanks Christian, Cozy, and Kwalified for continually inspiring me and improving the local hip hop scene.
Congratulations ill Hill Society! This is only the beginning of bigger, and better things for you. If you missed the “Rap Better” EP Release Party, then you missed an opportunity to purchase one of the 200 limited copies of their “Rap Better” EPs. Maybe if you’re lucky, there’s a few copies left (better cross your fingers).
