Post is either a tad late or right on time. Either way, lets be real. This is really the only place to be tonight.

Message to any upcoming artists. This is the model to follow. These guys have no American co-sign (i.e. from an established artist) and no label. Yet, they have a solid fanbase, mad love across the border, and watch how ramm it’s going to be on Friday night. The craziest thing about it is that they JUST started getting commercial radio play up here too. But that’s the joke…that’s how it’s SUPPOSED to be. You’re supposed to build your buzz and your fanbase and then let radio come to you at the right time. Everyone out here is trying to get on FLOW and G but no one knows you. Even with radio rotation you can’t get 100 people to a show in your own city of over 5 million. Backwards thinking. But I digress.
Anyways…to finish my point…Melanie Fiona, Shad, Kardi, Era (and now APB) etc…all realistic and humble paths to success. Study how they did it and are doing it. And shouts to free shows. The fact that Drake hasn’t done a free show here still irks me. Bah!
1. Listen to “My Dream”. 2. Go to The Detour Bar Friday night. 3. That is all.
CONGRATS TIKA!!!
p.s. Tika AND Andreena in the same place…..lawd!

About F-YOU:
Forgiveness is not permission, or predisposed justification – it is the release of detrimental feelings, thoughts and emotions that can consume us. F-You: The Forgiveness Project is an impassioned and inspiring event, featuring speakers who have overstepped the line between being a victim and being a survivor in the face of their own internal adversities. The F-YOU Project has been called “life changing” by the Toronto School Board and is set to be featured on Oprah’s OWN Network in July 2012.Supported by: Gravity Affect, IMMNF, Heeling Soul, HipHopCanada, GYC and many more.
What you doing tonight?
The Come Up Show in association with N.E.C Productions, Outerbass and Urban Life U. are proud to be bringing Massillon, Ohio-bred rapper Stalley, Toronto artists Rich Kidd. The Anitheroes, and London’s own Ngajuana to APK Live for one, unforgettable night.
Stalley’s career first took off when his and Ohio DJ Terry Urban’s mixtape ‘Goin’ Ape’ caught the interest of Mos Def; which led to the Ohio emcee opening for Mos on one of his tours. Last year, Stalley re-released his first album through his new label Maybach Music Group. This time around, he added a new track list; which included a remix to his song “Lincoln Way Lights” (also the name of the LP) featuring Rick Ross. Along with Ross, Stalley’s list of known hip-hop associates is nothing short of impressive; with names like Ski Beatz, Jay Electronica, Wale, Curren$y, and even folk rocker John Mayer.
Opening the show will be Mississauga’s own Juno nominated producer and artist Rich Kidd & Toronto group The Antiheroes, who, along with local act Ngajuana, are expected to get the crowd going before the main event. If you’re near London on June the 1st, don’t miss this event!

Check out my dude Owen “O’Sound” Lee Wednesday night as he celebrates the hard copy release of his debut mixtape The Full Sound. The tape really showcases O’s versatility as an artist. He’s rapping, singing, sanging, producing, arranging, playing….everything. Genres range from hip-hop to R&B to Gospel (of course) to a likkle alternative vibe ting too. Show should be dope. Online release should follow shortly too.
If you’ve been following the live scene in the city then you already know.
