Of course you could always preview the album online (or right here), but that shouldn’t stop you from checking this event out. It’s definitely a great opportunity to connect with one of our city’s talents and get some insight into his artistic process. Should be a good night!

As distinctive as it is soulful, the gospel-tinged voice of Toronto’s own Ray Robinson (real name Rayon Henry) is like no other. Best known for R&B singles like “Missed Your Chance” and “Good Times, ” along with his award-winning appearance on rapper Kardinal Offishall’s 2006 hit “Every Day Rude Bwoy,” Robinson has been deep in Canada’s underground R&B scene since the mid-’90s. With current singles “Don’t Stop” and “I Wanna Make Up” floating around on radio airwaves and on iTunes, the R&B singer is back after a brief hiatus and angling for that wider success – both in and beyond our borders.
Q: What have you been up to lately?
A: Besides working on new music, just living life. A lot of times artists forget to take a moment to just live life, which gives you things to write about. A lot of times you get caught up just trying to make money and (forget) who they are inside.
Q: What motivates you to make music?
A: Just seeing the lack of good music out there. That’s not to make anyone feel their music is not good. It’s just that there’s so much music out there that it’s hard to find good music. It’s about making music that will hopefully last a lifetime – where artists 20 years from [now] are sampling songs that I recorded. A lot of the music that [is] out there right now, I can’t see people doing that. I’m trying to write music that actually means something and has a little bit of a message.
It’s so f*cking annoying when people don’t make their videos shareable. Like, you really think you’re gaining THAT much more by forcing people to watch the video from only your page? So ridiculous. Lets search and see how many other blogs take the time to screen cap, crop, save, upload, explain and then link when I could have just posted the dyamn video and still given you props. What is this? 2008? What’s the goal here? To promote the music? Or get your own hits?
Church goes in on The Master Plan Show with a (almost) 5 min freestyle. And I actually mean freestyle…not a verse over someone else’s beat. Shouts to DTS man.
Church Chizzle stops by for an interview on The Master Plan Show with DJ Romeo & DJ DTS. This is Canada’s LONGEST running Hip-Hop show so it’s only right that Church dropped a freestyle.
