Great way to start my week. Shouts to Spoonz mang (and to JRJ for the heads up)!

DJs were always known as the ones to introduce new music to the world, somewhere along the way we stopped doing that. I decided to make this mixtape to showcase the talent that currently resides in my home town, Toronto. This is the first of many.

I wanted to create something you can vibe to, something people can be proud to share to the world as well. I often get asked “who got next?” Well, this is a collection of the ones I believe got next, the ones that are ready to shock the world and propel the Toronto music scene.

The mixtape aptly titled ‘Soon Come’ pays homage to the Jamaican culture that has influenced our language and the Toronto slang. Soon Come means I’ll get there when I get there. In so many ways I think this relates a lot to Toronto, as we’ve never been in a rush to please the masses. The artists that are featured on this album are perfectionists, some have been in the game for awhile and some just starting out, but they all share the same desire to put out quality music on their own accord.

without further adieu I give you Soon Come Vol 1.

Latest full length offering from Sean Leon and the IXXI.

It’s exhausting, these constant trips into the depths of my conscience but I want you to love me and I was never secure enough to be cool. I’m empty now, I have nothing left to give, there is not a piece of me I can offer you, there is not a part of me you can own. I am the introvert who took a wrong turn and became public domain. I’ll never be happy again; and that’s poetic and almost perfect because I’d rather my life be a beautiful tragedy then another happy ending as plain as the nose on one’s face. I’ll live and die by the decisions I’ve made for myself. There is nothing anyone can take away from me. – SEAN LEON

Tasha The Amazon releases FiDiYootDem after a nice likkle viral push. Whole thing is produced by Bass & Bakery, the production duo comprised of herself and partner Danthrax. “Scallywags” still my ish. Gonna take it in.

And check out Tasha live this Friday night at Noisey’s The Rap Party.

One of the most anticipated artists to drop out of Toronto this year is here; Tasha The Amazon delivers banger after banger on her first full-length project FiDiYootDem. Entirely produced by herself and Danthrax, better known together as Bass & Bakery, the project displays tribal, island, and trap rhythms mixed with pop and electro melodies featured on singles like “Thru The Fire”, “Tru Life”, and “Scallywags”. Add to that Tasha’s presence and wit on the mic, and it makes for an awesome listen from start to finish.

It is now available for free stream and download via Audiomack, and fans and press in Toronto can catch her live for
The Rap Party release show at Parts & Labour, presented by Noisey.

A bomb in a china shop.

Toronto’s Tasha the Amazon is an artist, producer, and bad gyal. Notorious for rude stage antics and warehouse parties shut down by police raids, her unconventional lyrics deal as much with partying, drugs, and hood mischief as they do with anarchy and civil disobedience.

She’s shared the bill with genre-defining acts like the Wu-Tang’s Ghostface Killah and Raekwon, The Roots, Killer Mike and fellow new-school icons like Action Bronson. Behind the boards, her bold production style has already earned her collaborations with the likes of DJ Green Lantern, Grammy-winner Che Vicious (G.O.O.D. Music) and more. 


After cutting her teeth in collabs and collectives, the German-Jamaican powerhouse is dropping her first solo project, FiDiYootDem, in Fall 2013.

Produced by herself and partner Danthrax (together, they form the production duo Bass & Bakery), the project experiments unapologetically with the future of hip hop. Meet the new school.
