{HIGH-uh-lie}

Hiahli is a live hip-hop band that plays rock n roll instruments. This Minneapolis-based group formed in 2020.

​

The high-octane MC Cold Sweat delivers his Golden-Age Hip-Hop lyrics over a variety of musical stylings.  In addition to the usual fatback rhythms, you may hear some undercurrents of outlaw country, disco, and grungy rock.  Hiahli is also known to throw in a few deep covers from the archives of hip-hop. 

​

They obtained several grants through The Arts Partnership (Fargo, ND) to produce a series of studio recordings with accompanying video content.

​

Since live musical events have resumed, Hiahli has shared the stage with well-known regional acts such as Brother Ali, Dessa, and Jon Wayne & The Pain.
