Preeeety crazy to see all these artists on their grind back then. Shouts to Mauricio for passing this along!

The year was 2003:

A passionate group of up and coming directors, artists, and community leaders embarked on a musical journey. The goal: to throw down the realest rap show the city had ever experienced. The goal was accomplished.
Held at Toronto’s legendary concert venue The Reverb, 4 cameras captured the entire thing. From the soundcheck, backstage, to the gathering crow at the door, we see everything, and get a very unique glimpse of Toronto at a very special time when Hip Hop was really Alive in the city.

Starring: Shaun Boothe, Rochester, Mhedikc, HU$TLEMANN (Mayhem Morearty, Nabisco, Franz Thomas Dawn Infamy, Ignay, Diablo Soze etc..), Point Blank and Clip of Brass Munk

Editor: Eric Sim

Director of Photography: Eric Sim

Camera Operators: RT , Cazhmere, Eric Sim, Phillip Munroe
