Lucky Roux
O’ahu’s finest hip hop artist
If you haven’t heard of Lucky Roux & the Pohaku Boys, coming out of Honolulu, you’re going to want to stream them on Spotify immediately. Think Hawai’i hip hop meets the Bay area. A song called Charsiu Manapua and his most recent release can be found to the backdrop of Seth & Josh Moniz dropping in on some backdoor barrels at Pipeline. Be prepared to know his name, voice and lyrics really soon.
JESSE JAMES PARIAH
Kaua’i North Shore’s Very Own
Jesse James Pariah has never been one to follow a straight line. The Kauai-born surfer singer-songwriter and Slum Beach Posse member is familiar name in Hawaii’s surf culture building a reputation that bridges the surf and music communities. Jesse’s musical palette includes a little bit of everything from Eminem to the timeless classics like The Doors. During these formative years, Jesse discovered the ukulele and was able to use it as a form of musical therapy.
This passion for music eventually led him to connect with DENM, who became both a mentor and collaborator. It was through that collaboration that Jesse found other like-minded Huntington Beach artists such as Landon McNamara and Benny Ranks. A spontaneous jam session would lead to the creation of the Slum Beach Posse, a group of musical misfits that have a shared love for surfing and reggae.
DENM would eventually assemble the collective together to jam and record at McNamara’s house for a week. The end result of those recording sessions would become DENM’s now classic “Slum Beach Posse. Vol. 1” album, which thrust into the national spotlight with over 30 million collective streams online.
