Woah. Wasn’t expecting this collabo…like at all. Really dope to hear / see the homie Spade from Citizen Kane though. Go back and do the math if you’re not sure what I’m talking about.
Spade of Citizen Kane hooks up with DJ Law for a project of previously unreleased material from the Toronto O.G.’s vaults.
“Scartown Unreleased Classics” is a collection of songs we recorded from the years 2001 to 2005 which was never released. At that time when Citizen Kane was on the verge on making a major impact in the underground Hip Hop community world wide, but we were confronted with obstacles from the music industry that believed we were a little to “Street” and not friendly enough for Canadian radio. Refusing to follow the commercial sound that was becoming more popular at the time, we recorded melodic tracks with hard but poetic lyrics staying true the griddy style of music that made Citizen Kane unique. There is two albums worth of material in this album which is mixed by D.J. Law and appearances from Peep Sho, Califaith, Stitch 7 and many more artists we were working with at the time. The production is from Big Sproxx, Down to Earth, Product, Dungenetics and Lost Info. There are also tracks that include R.P. who left the group at that time for personal reasons never to return putting the music on hold for a good time. If ya love Hip Hop in its purest and realest form, you will love this album. It is a piece of Canadian music history from a group that laid the foundation for Canadian Hip Hop today. This is the album they never wanted you to hear. – Citizen kane
Don’t know the specifics about this yet but it seems pretty self-explanatory. On April 10th, the legendary crew Citizen Kane will be releasing some unreleased bangers from the vaults…with a little help from DJ Law. Shouts to Spade and the whole fam.

After its debut in August of 2012, “Aneemah’s Spot” gets a 5-show run in Feb. starting with 2 shows tomorrow in Mississauga. Dope! Really hope I can make it out to one of these shows.
Meanwhile, in order to help promote the production, music director extraordinaire DJ L’oqenz put together a mixtape of all-Canadian chunes to help spread the word. Tracklist under the hood!
And if that wasn’t enough…L also posted up the original music produced for the play.
Produced by: niteowlnaps aka L’Oqenz for Aneemah’s Spot
Aneemah’s Spot is a riveting dramatic duet set in the millennial MegaCity. Written by Motion, and directed by Charles Officer, the tale follows two childhood friends struggling to cope with the fall out of a tragedy. Starring Amanda Parris and Shomari Downer, the award-winning production features a stylistic sound-scape by DJ L’Oqenz that pulsates like the city that birthed it.

Chris Green links up with Toronto Hip Hop legend Spade (from citizen kane) for his new single VICTIM produced by kHz, and mixed and mastered by PhameOne. Each artist speaks on their own individual struggle, and there prospective of what a victim is to them. No matter what your situation is, you always have a choice.
Whoa, whoa, whoa… Rexdale connects in a BIG way via the GrindHouse Project: a collective that includes emcees 360, Trace Motivate, and producers Astromega and Futurewave. “Rawkus” is the first single/video off their debut album “GHP Is Like…”, and although its been out for like a year, the crew just connected with us via email (whatup!), and you know our position on ‘new’: if it’s new to us – then its probably new to others too… so if you’re already up on this crew, good on you, but for the many who are just hearing about them now – consider this the first introduction. Hit the jump for their second video/single featuring Toronto hip-hop general Spade/Citizen Kane and directed by KidMajin.
This is kinda cool. Don’t think I’ve seen an online video-mixtape before. I know the whole “video DJ” thing has been getting a bit of buzz out there (mainly in the Dance genre) but this is actually a cool use of the technology as a viral audio + visual experience. Plus it’s all CanCon so we good, lol. Shouts to DJ Law! Here’s the tracklist:
