The last we heard from a Toronto duo, Smash Brovaz had dropped their Booth-hosted album Think It’s A Game?. Fast forward three months, and we’re greeted by Flex and Sha Prince, together known as The Antiheroes. The twosome, formed in 2011, have released their brand new album, Modern Day Riot, which features Booth-approved selections “6 Degrees” and “Cloud 9.”
Joining The Antiheroes on their free LP are D-Sisive, Emerson Brooks, STS, THURZ and more, while boardwork is turned in by Jay Emess, Junia-T, MMac and Rich Kidd.

Write up by Tyler Rothmar
Independent production house AHR Films logs a deft piece on Toronto’s Shaun Boothe, a musician who has chosen to transmute his first album by means of live performance. At the helm of his art’s evolution, Boothe connects with live musicians for a singular show at a venue steeped in the city’s essence: the lofts behind Much Music.
Boothe says, “To me, a big part of survival is evolution.” Together with a seven-piece band he performed his album Waiting Room to spur further creative adaptation. Always embedded in the unfolding scene, Art Honour Respect Films rolled as Boothe and the band sought to raise hip-hop’s high water mark and dilate the bounds of musical expression.
