Underground hip hop fans, rejoice! Wrapping up a more than 30-show nationwide tour, Corey Scoffern—aka The Grouch—returns home to the Valley Isle. Bringing "positive messages over unforgettable 808 drums and a melodic slump California is known for," The Grouch takes the stage with "dynamic super duo" Zion I, promoting their 2011 release Heroes in the Healing Nation—a record our Album of the Week reviewer Ben Lowenthal calls "hip-hop for people who like to think," and a "feel-good album that avoids being sappy and proves you can be tough and sensitive at the same time." Keeping with their do-gooder theme, The Grouch and friends have partnered with charities across the country, and proceeds from Saturday's shindig at Casanova will benefit Japan tsunami relief efforts. (Fans would do well to get their tickets ASAP, as The Grouch has held but a handful of on-isle concerts over the last two years, each of which has swiftly sold out.) Plus, Oahu's Tassho Pearce joins the bill, alongside Revolutionary Habitat and special guest-host Mountain. 572-0220; casanovamaui.com / zioniandthegrouch.com
