Twenty years ago today, Shawn “Jay Z” Carter dropped his debut album Reasonable Doubt. Arguably the greatest rap album of all-time, Reasonable Doubt is the blueprint of a classic within the genre. From the stellar production to Jay’s untouchable flow and swagger, to the lyrics…the lyrics. As Jay famously stated “I dumbed down for my audience to double my dollars, they criticize…

The comic Suicide Squad is about to make it to the big screen this August but personally I’m anxious to hear more of its seemingly dope soundtrack. ‘Sucker for Pain’ is the second track to be released from it and it’s peachy yet simple beat is infused with the lyrical genius Logic, Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, & Ty Dolla $ign.…

One of the staples of last year’s Ever After Music Festival, was the ability to move back and forth between the main stage and a second stage. A majority of the second stage artists were up and comers with the inclusion of DJ Mew and the Toronto Raptors official DJ, 4Korners, closing out each of the nights. This year will…

If you haven’t listened to Chance The Rapper’s mixtape Coloring Book yet, you are missing out on one of the best mixtapes of the year. Heck, if it were eligible for a Grammy, we wouldn’t be surprised if it won one. Not only that, it was the the first streamed-exclusive project to crack the Billboard 200. With a star-studden entourage of…

Are you wondering what happens when 2 young G-House producers collaborate together to create a track? Dr. Fresch and Bijou solve this problem with their latest original track, ‘Hello’. The bass-hitting track uses samples from former NWA members Ice Cube and MC Ren’s track of the same name to give you a hypnotic track you will most definitely be playing…

The Hoxton saw a huge turnout for the most recent installment of Embrace & Hunter Siegel’s No Neon series this past weekend. This time around, we were blessed to be graced with Ephwurd, the deadly duo consisting of Troy Beetles (better known as Vancouver dubstep beast Datsik), and his partner-in-crime/close friend, Basie Hauser (colloquially known as Bais Haus). The night…

The Manifesto-curated event is one of many birthdays that Manifesto Festival is doing to celebrate their 10th anniversary this year. With the purpose of the Red Bull Sound Select being to “highlight some of the city’s most exciting emerging…

I had never heard of Wolf Grey or Kompra before, but I knew as soon as I heard their new track ‘Trust, Lately’ from the newest The South East Grind compilation, I was instantly hooked. The smooth beat and accompanying vocals really make this track an easy listen. The use of the vocal sample in this one along with the spacey pad…

Henrik The Artist has been a favorite of mine for a while now. Ever since he put out his ‘Heven’ remix, I knew he was going to be someone to watch for. In his new track ‘Miss Me’ from his new EP Friendship out via Activia Benz, he combines cute, fun, and sweet synths with bouncy drum patterns. The vocal…

Ever since I heard ‘Timezone’ by Enschway and Luude, I knew Luude was going to be someone to look out for, and I was not wrong. In this flip of Fetty Wap’s popular banger ‘679’ Luude keeps the track catchy and upbeat in the beginning with some nice synth melodies sprinkled in. But the real story is in the drop. The drop is…
