Kahlee & DJ Root “Pass The Lighter” Turns a Smooth Single Into a Monthly San Diego Hip-Hop Experience

Kahlee & DJ Root Say - Pass the Lighter

When a record feels like a vibe and a location at the same time, you know the artists understood the assignment.

With “Pass The Lighter,” Kahlee and DJ Root don’t just give listeners a smooth soundtrack for the smokers—they create an atmosphere you can practically sit inside. This is the kind of record that floats through a room, settles into your shoulders, and gets heads nodding before people even realize they’re moving.

But this isn’t just a song.

It’s the theme music for a movement happening every month in San Diego.

“Pass The Lighter” moves with patience. No rush. No forced energy. Just warm production, steady rhythm, and that unmistakable West Coast ease that feels like a late-night conversation among friends. It’s the type of track that doesn’t demand attention — it earns it.

The beat breathes. The cadence glides. The vibe is unmistakable. This is music designed for presence. You don’t just hear it. You settle into it. Here’s where it gets interesting.

Pass The Lighter” is also the name of Kahlee and DJ Root’s new monthly event hosted at Sessions by the Bay — the only legal cannabis consumption lounge in the city.

Every last Saturday, the song becomes real life.

The crowd. The haze. The sound system. The conversations. The head nods. The shared appreciation for Hip-Hop, community, and atmosphere. The record is the invitation, and the event is the destination.

That kind of alignment between music and physical space is rare. Most artists drop songs. Kahlee and DJ Root built a setting for theirs to live in.

Hip-Hop has always been about environment. From park jams to basement sessions to back-room cyphers, the culture thrives where music and people meet. “Pass The Lighter” taps directly into that tradition.

This isn’t a playlist song. It’s a room song. A people song. A moment song.

And when the DJ drops it inside Sessions by the Bay, the energy shifts because the crowd already knows what time it is. What makes “Pass The Lighter” stand out is its restraint. It doesn’t try to overpower you. It lets the groove do the talking. That subtle confidence is what keeps the replay value high.

You can:

  • Smoke to it
  • Chill to it
  • Ride to it
  • Nod to it
  • Or just let it play in the background while the night unfolds

Few records manage to be both background music and the vibe-setter. This one does. This is smart artistry. Instead of just promoting a song, Kahlee and DJ Root created a recurring cultural touchpoint around it. Now, every month, “Pass The Lighter” isn’t just streamed — it’s experienced.

That’s how music becomes memory. That’s how songs become scenes. That’s how Hip-Hop builds community in real time. If you’re anywhere near San Diego, the move is simple: show up every last Saturday at Sessions by the Bay and experience “Pass The Lighter” the way it was meant to be felt.

Because some records are meant for headphones. Others are meant for rooms. This one was made for both.
