Class of ’93 (emcee Kzaraw – producer Mega) just dropped the video for this single off their latest album but while catching up on their movements I seen this one featuring Trace Motivate off their self-titled debut ’11 release that they dropped back in November of ’12.
Like I said before, I’m really diggin’ what this crew’s been doing.. see my mini-rant here, lol
It’s funny because I just took in this interview with De La Soul the other day and this video totally reminded me of something Dave said (1:30 mark) about when they made the “Buddy” video. Love that that spirit is still alive and well despite all the bullsh*t that’s out there…
Anyways…some BTS jokes from tha ladies. “Soul Runner” on repeat.
Behind the scenes with “The Toddler”, aka pHoenix Pagliacci.
Been watching Class of ’93 since their debut and kinda feel like the duo’s (emcee KZARAW – producer Mega) potential is just sitting there waiting for more people to finally notice. Not to mention, seeing three great female Toronto emcees together on a cut is still such a frickin’ rarity, I’d even argue that their chemistry with A. Harmony and pHoenix might be worthy of a bit more official and strategic exploration (no pressure tho!).
Take in this crew’s previous releases and the formula they’re building with is pretty clear – good hops, rooted in the art’s fundamentals, and the experiences of the city they live in, with no real sign of pretense.
Honestly, it’s singles like this and this that make me miss doing OTA Live! sooo much. *tear drop*
Congrats to my celebrity crush and the entire KuK team! Should be another dope night for the city!

Four years ago, The Known Unknown was created and became Toronto’s first audition-only urban music showcase. On our stage, we have had the opportunity to have amazing acts grace us with their talent like Rochelle Jordan, the Airplane Boys and LION BABE. Four years later, we have seen our brand successfully grow into something that we, as well as Toronto, is proud of.
This month The Known Unknown celebrates its FOUR YEAR ANNIVERSARY and we want to ring in this special day by showcasing the best NEW SCHOOL HIP-HOP & R&B acts including Toronto’s very own SEAN LEON his ixxi team.
About Sean Leon
Sean Leon states that his plan is and always has been giving his fans the rarest commodity in the world; certainty.
“I promise them certainty in an uncertain world. They are certain that when they go to listen to anything with my name on it that it is of a certain quality, a certain level of excellence.Music is a drug, and the best part of the best drug in the world isn’t the high, it’s the moment just before you take it. The dice are dancing on the table, between now and the point they stop is the best high in the world”.
Leon’s dream is to supply the best drug in the world. He wants to be the new Scarface, the new Sosa. His dream is to become the modern day version of Frank Lucas. This wild ambition is essentially what makes Sean Leon such a captivating artist.
