Kaydee‘s got some new goodies to share starting off with the viral joint “Boom Bap”. Technically it’s not off his 90’s Baby mixtape but it’s one of the last things he puts out in that lane before heading in a new direction.

Told you we’ve been busy. Been posting up all of Harvard‘s goodies from the new project but totally forgot to get up the actual album as its own post! Here’s all the info and back artwork is under the hood too.
What happens when you realize that “A Dollar and A Dream” has turned into “A Penny and a Nightmare”? Ottawa-born, Toronto-based rapper Harvey Stripes explores the concept on the follow-up to his 2011 debut.
Boasting 16 tracks, “A Penny and a Nightmare” sees Harvey speaking on everything for which he has become known — money, cars, exotic women and a highbrow lifestyle. But it also delves into deeper and grittier issues that include greed, abortion, loyalty, the justice system and more. “‘A Penny and a Nightmare’ is just me being real, being raw, being a genuine artist telling my story with hopes that the listeners can relate to what I’ve gone through,” says Harvey. “I feel like ‘A Penny and a Nightmare’ — even with the title of the album — shows that as glamorous as this life may seem, there’s still nightmares.”
Synonymous with heavy-hitter features, Harvey employs a supporting cast that compliments his style and includes Jadakiss (“Bought a Boat”), Juicy J (“Dolly”), Jeremih (“Any Way You Want It”) as well as Canadian talent such as Shi Wisdom (“A Penny and a Nightmare”), Captain Hooks (“Bleach Blonde”), Dru (“Ghost”), and more. “A Penny and a Nightmare” also expands Harvey’s sonic range courtesy of resident producer Beat Merchant as well as Deli, Pro Logic, Jeff Parris, Preezy and Daniel Worthy.

Mannnn…..been stupid busy the past couple weeks. Tryna catch up this weekend on the 1116 (ugh) unread emails in the Cityonmyback inbox. Let’s start with that dude Elcee. New joint called “P.O.M.E.”
Produced by LOWERCASE n ( @lowercasen )
Basically, I’m trying to let y’all know a little back story of what it looked like for me growing up, and what I was supposed to be. I’m happy to have had such good people in my life that steered me out of a lot of my environment’s directions. Not all, but a lot.
Elcee
Elcee release’s new song from the vault. In this song Elcee speaks about growing up in his environment and recognizing the contradictions of what he is labelled to be, according to where he is from and how he was raised. Track is produced by LOWERCASE n.
If you are unfamiliar with Elcee, he is a Recording Artist based out of Toronto, working with the Virginia Beach based collective JetPacks. At 24 years young with close to a decade of musical experience, Elcee is focused on being recognized for what he does.
More new on-point-ness from F-dub.

“Real” is just that. An on the spot, stake your claim, speak your piece type of track that was the first recorded collaboration of the FREEDOM WRITERS. Amazing lyricist Progress would enter the fray immediately after, but this meeting of the minds between Tona, Theo3, Frankie Payne, Adam Bomb and Sproxx drew from the influences in the studio that day, the throwback feel of the beat and the developing chemistry that would lead to many great songs, concepts and even a full album entitled NOW. Stay tuned, there’s much more on the way.
““There’s a unique vibe when you descend down the dark basement steps at Sproxx’s studio, wind through the corridor and end up in the proverbial shrine to all things late 80’s to mid 90’s Hip Hop. Pristine positioned 12” vinyl records adorn the walls from the likes of Pete Rock and CL Smooth, Gang Starr and Public Enemy. Quotable lyrics from the Source magazine have been meticulously clipped and pinned at eye level. If you didn’t come to write rhymes or immerse yourself in the Boom Bap laced production jumping out of the monitor speakers, you’d be missing a chance to create that classic rap music.” – Theo3
