    While most of you have never heard it, it is
    considered to be one of the best and arguably most
    influential hip-hop radio shows in Honolulu. My man
    Kavet Omo has been hosting this show on KTUH, the
    radio station at the University of Hawai'i, and after
    four years, there is threat from the powers that be to
    take this away.

    Kavet has done a hell of a lot for hip-hop in Hawai'i,
    and with his ohana of fellow MC's and DJ's, and
    associates, it's only going to get better.

    Anyway, I'm forwarding this letter he sent to me, as I
    want to show my support, and hopefully you can too.
    The Lightsleepers Show is one of the few (if not the
    only true) radio shows in Honolulu that dedicates
    itself to pure, underground hip-hop. If you are an
    MC, group, or DJ who plans on vacationing back home,
    e-mail Kavet directly and I'm sure he can hook you up
    with information.

    So... here is the forward:

     =====
    Aloha,
       The LIGHTSLEEPERS radio show has been on the air
    for over 4yrs now and exposed Hawaii and the world to
    some of the dopest Hip-Hop on the planet.

    Guests like Freeslyle Fellowship, Jeru, Style
    Elements, 5th Platoon, Beat Junkies, ISP, Daddy Kev,
    Awol, Shapeshifters, Visionaries, Peanutbutterwolf,
    Disflex6, JKC, BTS, Josh Martinez, Anticon, LA Symp,
    Bboy IVAn, and the list
    goes on have graced the airwaves thru the
    LIGHTSLEEPERS show....mainly providing local Hip-Hop
    to shine in a wide forum while providing stimulated
    music to the entire Hawaii Community. The
    LIGHTSLEEPERS has gained a following by not being
    trendy, but becoming trend setters and showing
    no conformity to mainstream. It has also been a huge
    influence pushing for better quality radio on KtUH and
    other stations...

    Due to upper management the are forcing the
    LIGHTSLEEPERS off the air because I, Kavet the
    Catalyst have graduated a year ago so i am no longer a
    student.. Yes, that is the rule, still they have not
    taken to account the impact that the LIGHTSLEEPERS has
    on the education and the community. Please join with
    me in showing the support of GOOD RADIO and the
    LIGHTSLEEPERS by emailing the General Manager or
    calling the direct number....

    (808) 956-7431
    or
    email: gm@ktuh.hawaii.edu

    Show your support by stating name and at least saying
    "SAVE THE
    LIGHTSLEEPERS"

    PLEASE FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO ALL WHO ARE DOWN!!!!!!

    Blessings and Malama Pono.
