KJ chops it up with Benji B. across the pond at BBC Radio 1 about all things ‘Sauga and also plays some chunes. Bom bom! Don’t ever say to Hazel that Mississauga is a Toronto suburb though haha.

‘Bout to bump this front to back. Shouts to the homies Grand Groove!

This our brand new Peace Collective Mix Series! We’ve enlisted the Grand Groove DJs (Big Jacks & Royale) to curate and create the series playlists which will feature a variety of great musical selections each month.

The first edition in the series is titled, Home Is Toronto. We felt it was only right to launch with a mix that spotlights some of the amazing hip-hop/R&B talent coming out and coming up from TO and the GTA, all mixed by DJ @BigJacks (of the Grand Groove DJs | GGBRFUCKEM). Listen now, share, and stand up for your own artists comin’ from the muthafuckin’ 6ix side…

More from the PIQUEd collective…. this time a profile on Tahaphoto.

We spent some time with Toronto-based photographer, Taha Muharuma, to learn about his creative process and what #streetsoul is all about. Taha documents the soul of the city through street photography, portraiture and commercial photography. Candid, soulful moments are the foundation of every frame.

You may or may not be familiar with the name Q-Benjamin but she’s been doing her thing for a minute now. If I’m not mistaken, she’s from Edmonton and she has / had a deal with Warner Canada. Haven’t heard from her in a bit but some new music has been popping up on her SoundCloud including this one featuring Nevon. Take it in!
