SepTO pays homage to the Ghetto Concept classic (and the Scarbarian bike trails) with the first single/visuals off his “T.O. for Toronto” project out this Friday (mixed by DJ Grouch).
Growing up IN THIS TOWN, when you hear people TALK THAT TALK its likely you’ll notice a bit of that BAKARDI SLANG off of the tongue. I’m born and raised in toronto, so my times here have been the BEST I EVER HAD. Whether we spent our days pretending to be PILING PAPERS, spitting rhymes ON THIS MIC or in the streets REALLY LIVING, we used up our seconds given to us by FATHER TIME with no regrets or lengthy retrospect. So LET’S RIDE together, I’ll be your tour guide through dot city. Just make sure to keep it EZ ON THE MOTION when I tell you to, otherwise you may bump into a DREADED FIST and get introduced to some OL TIME KILLIN. But don’t let that discourage you. Over time you’ll develop WHAT IT TAKES to live in and love this city. I’ve been here my whole life and I’ve NEVR LEFT, nor do I intend to. NEVERA EVERA.
“Grand” is off “The Chosen Ones” – their full length collaborative effort.
Speaking of Salty (real name Rudy Boquila) – this is a perfect way to plug his other venture outside of cooking up production: his restaurant Lamesa, which is a must-dine if you’re ever in the Queen St W area with an empty stomach!
Ms. Fiona chops it up about Sam Cooke, Jay-Z, judging an American Idol-styled talent show, Rihanna/Chris Brown + explains “Khari-bhana” to some uppity dudes at The New York Post.
Nice way to start the day. Offishall viz for “Mr. Parker” featuring Shi. Shouts to EVERYONE in this video man. And to Kardi for bringing everyone together. A.M.T.R.I.M. available now.
Enjoy. Remember. Reflect. Relate. Re-live. Realize. Re-invent. Kardinal and Nottz (on the beat) link up with Shi Wisdom to bring you “Mr.Parker”. A song about growing up and living with the challenges of an education system that is built for “us” to fail (or atleast having it be very difficult to succeed). With little encouragement, many of us have overcome and beat the system, no thanx to “Mr.Parker”. Enjoy. Remember. Reflect. Relate. Re-live. Realize. Re-invent. (Special appearances by Lu Breeze, Solitair aka Silver, A Game, Burd, NVS, Kreesha Turner, Trixx, RepJA.com and others!)
