I heard it in Kauai, but I'm sure it's all over the Islands. I can't find details anywhere on the web.

The song is called "Your Love", and it's produced by Chris Jay and Laiku Soares. Hilarious song. It's on a CD called Necessary Rukkus, Volume One. You can buy it here:

"Necessary Rukkus Volume One"
Various artists
(Rukkus Entertainment)


The Whodunnits -- Chris Jay and Laiku Soares -- and Junior "Joon" Mika are the key players on this hip-hop compilation. Jay and Soares are the producers; they also programmed almost all the tracks and did backing vocals. Mika handled A&R (artists and repertoire) and is one of the five featured vocalists.
The emphasis is on mainstream hip-hop rather than "island" anything. If Jay and Soares wanted to show that their artists can sound just like the countless African-American artists already on the national charts, well, they've done so. Whether we need a straight remake of "Casanova" or a Jawaiian-lite recycling of "I Second That Emotion" is another question. Mika's remake of Britney Spears' "Sometimes" at least reshapes the old pop tart's tune from a male perspective.

Jay and Soares show their "old school" roots with material reminiscent of the Notorious B.I.G., the U-Krew and Vanilla Ice. Their originals fit perfectly with the remakes in revisiting the standard hip-hop topics of love, lust and sexual braggadocio. Give them extra credit for coming up with a fresh set of lyric images to describe a good relationship -- "Your Love" is probably the first song ever written in which a man tells a woman that her love "is like a good toilet paper."

"We Are Samoa," written by Jerome Grey and performed by Rukkus Family members Mika, Mikey, Mose, Mox and T-Kese, gives the project a needed touch of originality. "La'u Samoa" would be more effective as a cultural bridge if its meaning were explained in the liner notes. Biographical information would also help introduce the guys to a non-Samoan audience.
