Hiahli is a Twin Cities-based live hip-hop band that plays rock n roll instruments. The high-octane MC, Cold Sweat, delivers his Golden-Age Hip-Hop style over a variety of musical stylings. In addition to the usual fatback rhythms, you may hear some undercurrents of outlaw country, disco, and funk. The group weaves a tapestry of sound taking the listener through grungy, boom bap beats that inspire good times. And, always, a trip to the moon.

Hiahli has shared the stage with G. Love & Special Sauce, Brother Ali, Dessa, Mae Simpson, Heatbox, and countless beloved regional acts.
