Though the boom has been largely positive, it has led to an over-saturation and often over-simplification in the music. Producers continue to…

I often joke with my friends about living in Dartmouth, the city across the harbour from Halifax in Nova Scotia. I say that I live in Brooklyn; just a bridge away from where everything happens but I can’t afford to live. But that’s where the similarities between NYC and Halifax end. Here, locals are known for being friendly, you can…
