To give you a bit of background for those who are not very familiar. In the year 1990, starting out as a clothing line and a store founded in downtown Toronto, TBG was known for their thought-provoking t-shirts surrounding the ideologies and history of black culture. TBG apparel has been seen on the backs of some of the most prominent figures in hip hop culture, including Mos Def, Spike Lee, Redman, and Mary J Blige, to name a few. In 25 years Adrian and TBG have become icons, paving the way for Canadian streetwear fashion along the way.

Edited by Nicole Sison for School Editing.
The visionary space case known as Brendan Philip is a singer/songwriter from Toronto. Through music, he has created a diverse and experimental listening experience that is altogether romantic, yearning and at times incoherent. It is an atmospheric sound for the vagabond laced with cosmopolitan ideals and psychedelic anguish.
BP was the first place recipient for the 2013 Harbourfront Soundclash award, sharing the stage with hip-hop jazz powerhouse BADBADNOTGOOD. In addition he has shared the stage with soul giant, Bilal and Toronto wordsmith and Warped tour headliner, Shad
Bren was recently featured on Toronto emcee, Keita Juma’s house hop lead single, ‘Come Over’ which climbed to number 1 on AUXTV’s Top 25 video chart. This record broke ground as the first indie rap release to chart #1 on the station.
Along with BP is the FAROUT gang who are all poised to impact Toronto music and the art world at large with Culture Power. Truly the dawn of a new day of our present future.
