Check out the new interview with Scifen’s head honcho Barmak over at Format Mag. Controversial and intelligent - exactly what a true hip-hop brand should be.
More Fyfe!!
I’m not sure how, but it seems like Mike Fyfe is still staying just below the radar. Not for long though. Rumor has it that Mike will be appearing in the upcoming Orisue promo video alongside the US homies including Kevin Booker, Larelle Gray, Nick Tucker, and Dom Johnson. Click the names to see some old footy and check what Mike has been up to (below). This video is gonna be bananas.
SAKE 5MH

Getting That Quiet Money - Wristpect That.
That’s DJ Wristpect - one of the hardest working guys in Canada.
Currently nominated in a gangload of categories at the annual Stylus DJ Awards, Wristpect isn’t taking any time off.
It’s mixtape season motherfuckers.
To start it off right, here’s the definitive AZ mixtape.
Some Arabesque For Ya!
Our man Besque just finished his tour. Here’s a little footage of him rocking “Marlboro Man”.
Sans Pression
SP is a monster in Quebecois hip-hop. Canadian artists could learn a lot from his hustle (we’re talking six figure record sales) but because he’s French, he remains unknown to the majority of the country. It’s good to see that a decade and half deep, SP is only getting better. Check the video for his newest single “No Jours Sont Comptes” - loosely translated: “Our Days Are Numbered”.
Big Shows in Toronto
If you’re in Toronto over the first weekend of March, you can’t miss these shows. The good people at Just Entertainment are bringing MOP and KRS on back to back nights. Unfuckwithable.
Kevin Fucking Booker
Right now, Kevin is out filming for the 2nd Ice Cream DVD. Here’s a little bit of footy from P-Rod’s private park. The vid is gonna be bananas.
Big Besque Is Heading West
Arabesque, one of the country’s finest lyrical prospects, is heading out West for a week long tour. If he passes through your town, don’t miss the chance to see an emcee who never fails to entertain.

In other Arabesque news…
Check out the remix he did of Feist’s “My Moon My Man” - straight dope.
Also take a look at the his new video for “Anna Conda”.
Dude is light years away from the shit that is dominating hip-hop right now. He’s stepping out, taking risks, and doing things that most rappers wouldn’t. Put your money on Besque ’cause the payoff is gonna be huge.
The Majors!!!
Youtube is fantastic. How else can you see music videos? It’s been years since MTV played any videos. So here’s a new track from some old boys - Keith Murray, Casual, Prince Ali, and Planet Asia.
