Ms. Fiona chops it up with The Huff. Link to the full interview below. Shouts to ignorant Americans who think us having soul is new.
Melanie Fiona Talks New Album, Whitney Houston And Starting Her Clothing Line
The Canadian invasion of American airwaves has not stopped with highbrow indie rockers — now the Canucks are coming for our soul. Fresh off her double Grammy win for the hit single “Fool For You” with Cee-Lo Green, Melanie Fiona is ready to take the world by storm with her second album, The MF Life, which drops on March 20.
And if the first single, “4 AM,” is an indication of what’s in store, we’re in for a treat. But the Roc Nation artist is more then just her soulful, award-winning voice, she’s also a certified style maven.
While we’re often distracted by style shenanigans on the red carpet, Fiona has a sartorial sparkle that warrants some serious recognition. Her love for bold prints, cutting-edge silhouettes, one-of-a-kind jewelry and killer shoes have shaped Fiona’s unique style.
The gorgeous Guyanese songstress took some time to chat with HuffPost Black Voices about her new album, touring with Kanye West, her deep connection to Whitney Houston and what inspires her personal style.
Congratulations on your double Grammy win! How does it feel?
Thank you so much! It’s a really great feeling. And as my mom says: “I’m on cloud nine and I’m not coming down!”Your new album, The MF Life, hits stores on March 20 — what can we expect?
It is awesome! I wanted to make this album a real place for people to say: “Oh yeah, that Melanie Fiona — she’s on her way for sure.” The first album was definitely about paying homage and respect to what inspires me, and this album is more carved out to who I am and what I’ve been through as an artist — and as a woman.What does The MF Life mean?
It’s totally open to interpretation. It’s whatever it means to you. For me, it’s really the dynamics of love. I think that the mentality of The MF Life is a concept about life: living it, enjoying it, making every day count, riding the wave of the ups and downs, and finding the balance and beauty in between. I’ve really grown as a songwriter and as a singer, so I hope people really feel that.

Harvard chops it up with OhverlyCritical.com. Link to the full interview below…
TALK TORONTO: HARVEY STRIPES TALKS FASHION, HIS IDEAL WOMAN, DRAKE V. COMMON BEEF & THE HIP HOP SCENE IN CANADA
The music industry can be unforgiving, where first impressions can make or break you and where your grind determines your shine being an independent artist is no easy task. You can easily become washed away in the sea of senseless aspiring rappers or be a rare case like Harvey Stripes who has managed to turn ripples into sound waves in the Canadian ‘indy’ hip hop scene. OHverlycritcal.com caught up with the man himself to gain insight on his music and career OH!
Harvey Stripes is
Harvey Stripes is an entrepreneur, hard-working, honest *laughs* I feel like I’m writing a resume. I’m just me, you know? I just try to keep it 100% real as possible to my fans and my team
Most people are unaware that you were once part of a group called Deuce-Deuce, how have you evolved musically since parting ways with them and how was the transition from being part of a group to being a solo artist?Deuce Deuce is a group I started back in the days. About three years ago I decided to become a solo artist, I came out to Toronto, and I definitely feel like it helped me grow as an individual, not just in music, just as a person, taking up responsibilities on myself, starting up my own label, my own team, D&D music group; Musically, just taking on a project like ‘A Dolla & A Dream’ mixtape, or taking on new songs or bringing ideas to the table, it’s just myself.
I have nobody to fall back on to add to the chemistry of the song, I also can’t blame anybody for anything that fans would be disappointed in. It’s more pressure on me, but I think I work best under pressure which I love. So it’s been a great journey as a solo artitst and it’s something I’ll never regret.

New project from LAL who actually just returned from India in time for its release.
How it could be that I was in touch with LAL member (and co-founder of pioneering hip-hop production outfit Da Grassroots) Murr just last week and he failed to mention that this album had dropped is beyond me (*scratches head).
Anyways check them performing live March 21st @ Cinecycle behind 120 Spadina Ave (east side between Richmond St. W. and Adelaide St. W).
