“What kind of music do you listen to” is the most frustrating, overused question of the 21st Century. People ask this question as if “genre” is a neatly defined term, as if all music can quickly and easily be divided into “rap” or “rock,” “alt” or “pop.” What’s worse, we live in a day and age when artists are pressured to be…

This is a signal. Out to anyone feeling dissatisfied with their current nightlife experience; The underground is alive and well. Hidden in plain sight in Toronto, Southern Ontario, and beyond, are a few locally owned sound systems, born out of the same spirit that first inspired the practice of throwing sound system-focused parties to begin. The current purveyors are an…

Pusha T didn’t write ‘Circles’ to be a social justice anthem. He didn’t write it to show off his lyrical chops. It is abundantly clear that Pusha T had one goal in mind when he wrote this song: to make America rage again. Pusha T takes us back to the days before Trump, before Hillary, before conscious rap was mainstream.…

Zeds Dead are constantly pushing musical boundaries, and their latest collaboration is no exception. The Toronto duo teamed up with Jadakiss and Style P to give us ‘DNA,’ a hard hitting hip-hop track with heavy dub influences. Jadakiss and Styles P are known for their raw relentless lyrics, which pair perfectly with Zeds Dead’s bumping bass. Zeds Dead is set…

Whenever I write or talk about IshDARR, I can’t help but feel a little like a fake fan. I’ve been saying such over the top things about how talented he is, but a couple months ago I hadn’t even heard his name. With that disclaimer out of the way, let’s move on to the part where I talk about how…

I first heard of REZZ when I was going to see Zeds Dead at TD Echo Beach for Deadbeats back in August. I typically give a listen to the artists on the lineup to get an idea of what they are like and if I can get down or not. The first track I listened to from her was ‘Edge’ and from…

IshDARR‘s second album, Broken Hearts & Bankrolls, is expected to drop on Friday, and the man dropped two tracks over the past week to hype it. Before we get into ‘Bad Four You,’ which will be on the new album, let’s talk a little bit about ‘NINEFIFTIES.’ ‘NINEFIFTIES’ is IshDARR’s take on the Weeknd’s ‘Starboy.’ I would normally argue that the…

GTA just released a hot new track that’s making waves, ‘All Caught Up.’ Featuring smooth vocals by Tinashe, the duo create an upbeat catchy track, that’s perfect for the club or chilling at home. GTA is unique in their style, managing to capture all audiences, fans of electronic and not, with this great single. The production behind the track is simple and…

I had the pleasure of attending 2 our of the many Manifesto  events this year. The Festival, which is now in it’s 10th year has been something I’ve wanted to go to for as long as I’ve known about it, but not knowing a lot of people and not living in the city always got in the way.  When FUXWITHIT…
