Running a music blog/website in this current timeframe means being constantly blessed & cursed by modern technology and the way it’s enabled every Jane Doe to create their own music and spray it across the internet like so much painfully earnest fertilizer. Yes, we have to deal with countless emails from MC BlazePurp and his(…)

You crack me up like my iPhone screen, or the Mayor of the city of my home team. haha, Rob Forb, amirite? Do we still care about him this week? You have to say, despite his being perhaps the worst example of a human being one could possibly fashion with a gigantic amount of surplus(…)

I alluded to this the other day, but regardless of how you view our country’s largest city (as someone who lived there for seven years, I’ve seen both sides of the coin), there’s no denying Toronto’s place as the cultural epicentre for a great many things. One of these things is hip hop, and there’s(…)

Toronto! Uhhhh, how’s it going? Perhaps you’ve heard, but Canada’s largest city has been having a few “issues” with it’s mayor of late. I sense this is weighing heavily on the shoulders of Hogtown’s denizens, so how about a little something today to remind us all of Toronto the good? How about helping birth Canadian(…)

My aim is to entertain and inspire walk through the rain and the fire pay bills, keep sane and retire, with a name that’s admired. Rare is the modern hip hop album that comes with a clear mission statement. I think it’s equally as rare for a modern artist to set such a lofty goal(…)

I meant to post this video weeks ago, but that’s how it goes these days. But I stumbled upon it again while cleaning up the ol’ email box today, and I like the song too much not to post it up. Premier-esque production with a fantastic, scratched KRS-One line (or just word) as the hook?(…)

It’s back to school time. This is not a time that I thought about much during the years after I finally graduated and started my slow march toward dea…err, working, but having kids forces you to relive that time a bit. Hearing your children talking about their interactions with other kids at school, both good(…)

Do you like incredible beats? How about top-notch raps? Grade A DJ cuts? What about breakfast, do you enjoy breakfast? Well if any or all of these things are in your wheelhouse, then you need to grab yourself a copy of First Words’ new record All Day Breakfast. Produced and presented by legendary Halifax DJ(…)

Yes, everyone on the Internet has already posted or linked to this awesome new Shad video, but guess what Chauncey? I’m posting it too. As someone who’s already admitted to posting anything Shad releases, while also, just the other day in fact, saying that a Saukrates hook gets you an auto-post, it’d be delightfully hypocritical(…)

I’m getting older. I know this partly because the main association of I have with “40” is no longer as the O.G. drink of choice, but the age I will be in a year and change. But moreso than that, I can tell I’m aging because it seems that with each passing day I find(…)
