Hip Hop Emcees are notorious for crafting mind blowing punch lines that whip the crowd into a frenzy similar to a fast break slam dunk on the hardcourt or a bone jarring hit in between the white lines. A punch line provides momentum, motivates the masses and reigns as a quotable to be compared and analyzed for years to come. The requisite “Ohhhh’s” and squinched up facial expressions after the bomb drops are hallmarks of the highly intelligent and discerning Hip Hop audience. Emcees who can deliver wave after wave of devastating wordplay take pride in the ability to ‘next level’ a song, acapella or live performance.
Critically acclaimed Toronto Hip Hop artist THEO3 has long been known for his potent punch lines and exciting, energetic delivery. Rocking live crowds across Canada and blazing live radio sessions such as the 2010 Halftime 12th anniversary show with powerhouse NYC DJ Eclipse and a host of reputable rhymers (Rhymefest, Sadat X, Homeboy Sandman and Tona to name a few), THEO3 lives for the perfect balance of whyle out reactions and awe inducing flows. In this Brand New video “AWAY” produced and directed by Big Sproxx of the Freedom Writers (www.FreedomWritersMusic.com) THEO3 weaves in and out of this hypnotic head banging beat with deft precision and pin point accuracy. Available on the recently released ELEVATOR UP mix cd hosted and mixed by the incomparable DJ Tony Touch (Shade 45, 50 Emcees), “AWAY” is 3 minutes of straight punch line madness! Grab the full CD at www.THEOLOGY3.com and enjoy the ride…
“The FREEDOM WRITERS” are a Toronto based collective featuring some of Canada’s most dangerous Emcees. Tona, Adam Bomb, Progress, Frankie Payne and Theo3 fill out the all star roster alongside multi talented producer and video director Big Sproxx. Stay tuned for a barrage of original songs and videos in preparation for the highly anticipated FREEDOM WRITERS debut album later this year. Can’t stop, won’t stop!

First introduction.
‘Until Then’ is the debut track from Toronto native, Xolisa Jerome who takes the production into her own hands, creating an ambient, melody driven-open space with a boom bap rhythm to accompany- inspired by A Tribe Called Quests’ “Oh My God (Remix), Zero 7’s “Destiny” and Camp Lo’s “Coolie High”.
The song takes on a mellow, fluid approach to deliver a very simple message: “We’re in the right here and right now- so until a moment in this time, space or state of mind proves otherwise, let’s just be.”
Production & Mixing: Xolisa Jerome
Vocals & Lyrics: Xolisa Jerome

I think it’s the muthphu*************in’ town!!! Salute Toronto. Full DJ pack courtesy of Luuis.
Last year was a big year for me. I got my first placement on a major album with the Game on R.E.D with Boi1da, and I dropped a mixtape entitled ‘Hollalaluuie which created a lot of buzz with over 10,000 downloads.
Late in 2011, I recorded this song in a time where I was at a stand still. I’ve taken some time to develop my craft and I release this song as a statement. I want you to know that I’m using this year to show you what’s next to come.
As I work on my next project, I’ve decided to show how serious I am by releasing a song, video, or remix every week before I drop my next release, ThisTimeTomorrow. – Luu Breeze
The “Go-To” Church Sunday Series | Week 4: Deadly Combination Freestyle
The song Deadly Combination is exactly as the title insisted, a deadly combination of two of the greatest MC’s to ever touch the mic. Both 2pac and Big L are now fallen legends, but Church Chizzle attempts to carry on their legacy over this classic instrumental. This goes to show that there are new generation cats that appreciate lyricism, while continuing to have fun.
