I already got chips on this being one of the best hip-hop albums to come out of Toronto in the next 365 days.

FREEDOM WRITERS TO RELEASE DEBUT ALBUM ‘NOW’ IN OCTOBER 2013

Over the past two years, the Toronto hip hop collective Freedom Writers (Tona, Adam Bomb, Frankie Payne, Theo 3, Progress and Big Sproxx) have successfully released the singles ‘Wake Up’, ‘Arizona Bay’ and ‘For The Change’. The six-man collective are set to release their debut album, titled ‘NOW’.

The 17-track album highlights the inspired production of in-house producer Big Sproxx and the socially conscious rhymes of the five core emcees that make the Freedom Writers. Toronto-based artists Ian Kamau, Ayah, and T.R.A.C.K.S. of IRS all provide guest appearances, reinforcing the sounds and messages the Freedom Writers have united to deliver.

Shout out Tre on the deal!

Big Dada are pleased to announce the signing of Tre Mission on a three album deal. The twenty two year old MC and producer from Toronto found a common Caribbean heritage in the rhythms and slang of grime and quickly developed links with the UK scene, forming strong bonds with Wiley and JME, amongst others, and appearing on “Lord Of The Mics 3.” Earlier this summer he released the mixtape (or as he prefers, “free album”) “Malmaison” which showcases his skills both as a producer and a lyricist, and which has already spawned a series of high quality videos from his team as well as racking up an impressive amount of downloads. He was recently decribed by the Independent as “one of grime’s hottest talents.”

“To celebrate the signing of his deal with the label, Big Dada are working the double-AA single “Brunch / High Fashion,” featuring two tracks from Malmaison. A further video for the tracks is forthcoming and the tunes have already had plays from Tim Westwood, Logan Sama and Mister Jam. A full debut album will follow in early 2014.”

Dream chaser type visuals for Chris Stylez, as he continues to make his come-up.

A multi-talented singer, songwriter and musician; Chris Stylez is steadily becoming one of the most exciting new artists piercing the music scene, with a polished tone reminiscent of a Voodoo-era D’Angelo, and legendary soul sensation Marvin Gaye.

Having already co-starred in concert alongside Grammy award-winning Ne-Yo, Chris Stylez went on to astound BET Networks #1 rated television show ‘106 & Park’, performing live as part of their Music Matters campaign.

Currently, Chris is working diligently on his debut album, to be released in the near future.
