Attempting to brand one’s self as a representative for his hometown is not a new phenomenon in the rap game. Jay-Z in New York, Drake in Toronto, etc. In this remix of Vic Mensa’s ‘Wimme Nah’, Smoko Ono latches on to phrases most loyal to Chicago and releases them on repeat over a slow groove that makes you want to…

Here’s the thing. Lists are bullshit. They’re biased, incomprehensive. They are misinformed and ill-informed. They incite anger and hatred. They make you question why you would ever again listen to the person who made it. They make perfectly reasonable people seem like incompetent morons. This is also why, lists are amazing. Lists are controversial. They’re divisive. They incite passion and…

I just been driving. Logic linked up with Childish Gambino for this dope cut produced by Logic himself. Starting with the production, Logic does a great job with the beat with a little help from 6ix. As for the bars? – you can expect some excellent flow, delivery and content on this one from both of these artists. In an…

No matter the coast, or what part of the globe, if you’re a hip-hop/rap fan then you should already know. The album…

Good Friday indeed. We’re 10 weeks in and we’re just getting started! This weeks #FUXWITHITFRIDAYS playlist brings you tunes from Breaux, Knarsetand, Grandtheft and many more. The first track is from the 19-year-old producer from Seattle called “Lord Shiva”. This track is nuts. Breaux is pretty ill with his chops. His last vocal chop had me going crazy, but he’s since…

You are cordially invited. For his latest flick, Toronto’s own P.Reign takes us behind the scenes of the UK leg of Drake’s “Would You Like A Tour?” tour (ha!). Pon Tour is a pretty dope track.
