NEW ALBUM: Dan-e-o – Dear Hip Hop (20 Years Later)

rez | Album | Tuesday, October 10th, 2017

untitled

Dan-e-o’s legacy continues with the full length release of Dear Hip Hop: 20 Years Later. Description says it all. Copp on iTunes or stream there or on Spotify. Congrats man!

On November 5, 1996, Toronto-based label, Beat Factory released the seminal Canadian hip-hop compilation, Rap Essentials Volume One. Helping to further energize the already-established careers of such north-of-the-border lyrical heavyweights as Kardinal Offishall, Choclair, Ghetto Concept and Rascalz, the album is also credited for launching the career of Scarborough lyricist, Dan-e-o. 

With his featured single, “Dear Hip Hop”, Dan-e-o immediately cemented himself as one of Canada’s premier MCs. A quasi-love letter to the music and culture he adores, the Scam-produced single has stood the test of time and has garnered itself “classic” status in the annals of Canadian hip-hop history. 

With his fourth album, Dear Hip Hop: 20 Years Later, Dan-e-o both commemorates the two decade milestone of the release of his legendary debut and pays tribute to a long list of inspirations. “The artists I pay tribute to on this album by including them as guests helped pave the way for me to become the artist I am,” says Dan-e-o, “But they themselves have also enjoyed the last 20 years or so of invigorating hip-hop culture. So this new album is as much about celebrating Canadian hip-hop as a whole as it is about my first single. Really, I’m just a chapter in a much bigger story.” 

Among the honoured guests on the album are URBNET label mate, Moka Only, “Northern Touch” legend, Thrust and the Godfather of Canadian hip-hop himself, Maestro Fresh Wes. They all appear on the posse cut and lead single, “League Of Legends”, which is produced by Scam – reuniting Dan-e-o with the producer of “Dear Hip Hop” 20 years after its release. 

Dear Hip Hop: 20 Years Later is a unique combination of re-mastered gems recorded during the mid-90’s and brand new golden era-esque bangers, which include “Rap Essentials”, an ode to the compilation that started it all with alumni, Mathematik and Deuce Deuce of Concrete Mob and a symbolic tribute to J Dilla entitled “Spit” featuring the late legend’s brother, Illa J. 

The album is set for release on Friday, October 6, 2017 via URBNET.

NEW VIDEO: Jessie Reyez – Gatekeeper (Stripped) (Vevo LIFT)

rez | Video | Sunday, October 8th, 2017

Fak man. A great performance of “Gatekeeper” aka that Harvey Weinstein by Jessie Reyez. These “Stripped” joints are dope btw!

When Jessie Reyez rolled through her song “Figures” with just an acoustic guitar at our dscvr shoot earlier this year, she used an air of gentility as a bed for some truly fierce vocals. Her voice swooped and darted, and her passionate song of abandonment cut to the heart. Jessie’s making a name for herself right now. Our 26-year-old LIFT artist knew she had songs since her since high school days, so after growing up in a Toronto suburb, she opted out of college, and followed her muse to Florida for some beach busking and life-living. When she got back up north, she had a vision of who she might be and the courage to keep going. There’s a sense of urgency in her art; she weds a determined feminist vibe with love of family, respect for culture and dedication to emotional truth. Her ‘Kiddo’ EP is one of the year’s strongest debuts, full of invention and ambition. Her stripped-down takes of “Fuck It” and “Gatekeeper” reflect that signature sensitivity; watching them you know you’re seeing the real deal reveal herself right in front of you.
