Going down this Saturday April 21st in Waikiki will be the Y Ramp Pro Invitational on Waikiki Beach.  Brought to you by adidas and Thrasher Mag.

Castle Park was formed in 2015 by veteran hip-hop drummer Keli’i Wong (of Sample and The Spacifics) in Honolulu, Hawaii.   ​Fronted by local legend and Honolulu emcee Travis Castles (Omega Cix), the group blends a classic boom-bap Golden Era aesthetic with a surf-rock vibe, while Travis Castle's wordplay references local culture and esoteric conundrums.   ​Sean Ho (formerly of the Spacifics) and Paul Bajcar (of Earl Grey and Itramonti) hold it down with raw, vintage guitar riffs, while longtime boom-bap producer dkind joins on bass.
