Greatness!

“Don’t Believe the Hype” is not only a Public Enemy song, but a philosophy thatAdam Bomb always comes back to when writing straight-up bomb music (a characteristic he’s now been officially recognised for, what with his recent win withNaturally Born Strangers for Rap Recording of the Year at the 2015 Juno Awards).

Once again, we’ve collaborated with Reign Media to bring you another episode of Exclaim! TV‘s Sweet 16s. This time, we took the award-winning Toronto emcee into our backyard to perform the sweetest 16 bars he’s ever written.

Before busting out some rhymes from “Tell Me” (a track taken from his SARS 4mixtape), Adam Bomb revealed parts of his personal history to Sweet 16s host King Reign, discussing his initial fascination with drawing tape covers, and how that eventually led him to writing his first rhymes. Later, he discusses creating honest music and shared his top five influences over the years.

Watch Adam Bomb perform his favourite 16 bars in the player below.

Mannn….shouts to Lisa Banton who I bumped into the other night at the Jully Black show (Jully SLAYED btw!). Lisa’s been putting in work for a minute now and after releasing a handful of joints, snippets and cameos over the past few years she finally lets loose her debut EP, Lost & Found. Congrats Lisa!

Just another example of how dope the city’s R&B scene is. On first listen, the EP is tight. Definitely gonna take this one in.

Debut EP ‘Lost And Found’ by R&B/Soul artist, Lisa Banton.

R&B singer/songwriter Lisa Banton has had a lengthy love affair with making music since she was in grade school. What started as a knack for poetry and the written word blossomed into song writing and eventually vocals as she got older. Once she discovered that the voice that best communicated her lyrics was her own, music became her legs and the time arrived for Lisa Banton to step out onto the global stage….

An EP about the confusion of love, the wants and needs of love and the letting go of love. Sit back and take a listen to ‘Lost And Found’….
