Poppa D chops it up with Huffy.
When MuchMusic compiled its Top 200 videos of 2012 list, sitting rather unobtrusively at number 77 was gloom-rapper D-Sisive’s “Don’t Turn The Lights Out” feat. Neverending White Lights.
Seventy-seventh isn’t exactly viral sensation territory, but it was a clear victory for the man born Derek Christoff. See, a white-rapping thirtysomething “middle class fat kid in glasses” — his words — doesn’t usually get these kind of mainstream breaks. Even one whose resume includes Juno and Polaris Prize nominations, endorsements from the likes of Tom Waits and stages shared with some of the biggest names in rap throughout the years.
For his part, D-Sisive is only now beginning to understand how come the RT-directed video, which features a comely young couple on the run in a dangerous, vaguely “No Country For Old Men”-style adventure, could score some modified success.
“I don’t know,” D-Sisive tells HuffPost Canada Music when asked why that particular song, a throw-in bonus track for the deluxe edition of his 2011 album “Run With The Creeps” became a hit. “To be honest, it’s a mystery to me and it’s something I’m trying figure out and the more I investigate the more confused I become. Maybe it’s because it’s the one time I’m just not walking in a cemetery. Because television likes to embrace things that aren’t in cemeteries.

Introduction to new artist Jimmy Johnson with a little help from ΒΛΚΞΓ$CLUB general Raz Fresco.
Jimmy Johnson releases his second single to touch the music world entitled “Loud As Fuck” produced by Raz Fresco. This single takes the listener on a ride that feels like being in a car going 400 miles per hour, with the radio turned all the way up and the windows rolled all the way down. Delivering lightning fast lyrics along with a catchy hook, Jimmy looks to captivate his audience once more with a brand new sound of his own. This is the latest offering off of “In God We Trust”, Jimmy Johnson’s debut project set to release later this summer.

Richie with a dope ode to Marvin…
“I use to listen to these podcasts from DJ Grouchy Greg where he would play all these classic soul tunes and give a back story to how the tracks came to be. One episode was about Marvin, Berry Gordy and Motown. The story of Marvin’s life was both beautiful and tragic and brought life to the music that I already heard but never analyzed. I learned this man was world famous but dead broke, depressed, addicted to coke and still created this masterpiece. It was conceptual, political, religious, conscious and soulful all at the same time. It became my favorite album. I put it in the ranks of the Ready To Die’s, Illmatic, Reasonable Doubt’s and Hell Hath No Fury’s of my collection but overall, it’s the greatest album ever created to me.
I crafted this tape in the summer of 2007, when I was living with my cousin in Jane and Finch. Feeling broke, somewhat depressed and being a pothead, I felt like I was in the same creative nirvana as Marvin at the time. I chopped every song on that album and wanted to do a album project with me or someone else rapping on it. Time passed by and now its 2013. Honestly, I subconsciously didn’t want to hear no rappers on it. I left it alone. Glad I did. Enjoy.”
