Introducing Hayward's Hylite
Hylite is a group of 3 emcees originating from Hayward, CA. The name Hylite has quickly drawn recognition in the streets of Hayward with only a few mixtapes notched in their repertoire. The trio is composed of Showtime, Ash, and AK; all of whom are in their early twenties. Related by blood and bound by their passion for music, Hylite finished their debut album "The Hylite Reel," featuring 19 tracks of independent production, coordination and mastering.
The album features an all-star Bay Area lineup including production guru Sean T, The Team, Ya Boy, Big Rich, including a few others. However, most of the album is a showcase of the Hayward trio, including an array of production by Hylite's own Showtime.
From the Fiji Islands by descent, what sets Hylite apart from the rest is not their racial association, but their ability to harmonize together in and out of the studio, which is apparent in their music. Hylite adds their own twist to rap/hip hop music with their versatility, originality and their drive to go against the grain--as well as adding a unique fusion of Island and Middle Eastern style with contemporary hip hop.
