Part 1 of a 4 part editorial piece by Far Beyond Entertaiment’s Chris Shaban:

Sample of this article:

“You’ll read this if you’re a real hip-hop fan.

I will make this intro ultra quick. First, thank you for taking the time to come here and read FootNotes. This all started because Famous told me that I have to start getting out in public more to interact with ‘people’. Well, it’s been about 6 years almost to the month that I got home from touring as the host of 2003 VJ Search for Much and CIM. I had decided to fall back and focus on building my personal business. But, on the other hand, The Kid’s right, I’m not in the mix enough. So with that in mind, I started FarBeyond FootNotes. I am going to use this mainly as a vehicle to speak to business partners. However, in my heart, I really hope that hip-hop fans will read this too. And that is why you’re reading this here on HipHopCanada. Although the actual FootNotes blog is housed at my site, FarBeyond.ca, I felt like it was important to have it up here too. I have been friends with Jesse ever since I first started writing on this site in 2002 and it’s been an ice-cold minute since then. I’m happy that he still thinks enough of me to post this.

Now, to be straight up, you may have to read this whole piece slowly, maybe even go back over a certain line once or twice. I am known for talking too fast and saying too much, so that is the main reason I created FootNotes. It’s a kind of like ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’. You can read through this blog without ever reading a FootNote and it will still make complete sense. If you want to give’er, then I’d suggest you digest the little blurbs. If you go to blog.farbeyond.ca to read this you’ll be alerted of a FootNote because the word will be a different colour. You can just roll your cursor over it and the text will appear very neatly in a box above the word. Here on HipHopCanada for the sake of logistics, and because I promised Jesse the article a day early, you can click on the bolded words and they will take you to the corresponding footnote. When you’re done reading the footnote, simply click ‘Back’ and it will return your place in the article. Of course, you can always scroll down to the end of the piece to see all the notes, if you’d like. I can’t emphasize how much better the article is when you read the FootNotes.

Enough blah, blah, blah – Let’s Get Down To Business. I’m happy to take y’all FarBeyond FootNotes . . . Enjoy.

From 2DBz. The Black Jays representative lays down a track for the 95th installment of DJBooth.net’s Freestyle series.

Entry #95 in our DJBooth.net Freestyle Series comes courtesy of Solitair, the Toronto native who brought us reader-approved cuts Can’t Front, Dreams and Summertime. On his brand new, previously-unreleased It’s My Time freestyle, the Black Jays rapper flows over an original, self-produced beat. Solitair is currently preparing for the late-October release of new mixtape The Soloist, as well as the early-2010 arrival of studio album The Departure, featuring singles The Flyest (w/ Lil Wayne) and My Number (w/ Nina Sky). He has contributed several beats to The Kid Daytona‘s forthcoming, yet-untitled album, in addition to producing Akon-assisted single Teaser off Kardinal Offishall‘s Mr. International LP. Solitair has also been working closely with up-and-coming talents on both sides of the border.

Shouts to EscapeMTL!

Something new from the highly anticipated The Revolver Story album, which is the debut from Real City’s Bully Magnum 357. This track was actually recorded in Toronto at Cherry Beach Studios, where for those who don’t know is where Drake records… as well as 50 Cent, Ludacris, Jonas Brothers and more while they are north the border. Special shouts to the homie C4 for the production and JD Era for throwing in his verse, funny cause this is actually one of the first tracks Magnum has done a side from his regular Dirtwork production.

Personally I am very excited for the upcoming album because we guarantee Montreal has seen nothing like it so far from a street artist, we are definitely going to ruffle some feathers. We have left below the full radio, dirty and both together for all the DJ’s out there. If anyone needs interviews, drops, features or beats… holla!

When we had The Remix Project on OTA Live a few months back we debuted a joint from a graduate from the program named Lokz. Sounded ill and it seems his talent is already spreading as he’s found here featured on a track by Saigon. I heard Lokz just finished shooting a video for his own debut single also (directed by RT!) so stay tuned for a lot from the young singer. Track’s also produced/engineered by Toronto’s own Pro-Logic!
