I got a heads up about this video shoot from Glory at L&G Films and was able to make it out for one of the scenes. Camo video shoots are always adventures and word is for this one they travelled across Toronto shooting in different hoods. Luckily for me and mines, Kin Smuv agreed to rock his Hip Hop Ain’t Dead It Lives In The North t-shirt for his scenes. This song is from Camo’s upcoming mixtape and is also featured on THE MIXTAPE.
Gangis Khan AKA Camoflauge has been busy working on his official album debut but in the meantime he’s got a new mixtape in the works and a brand new L&G Films directed video “BIG BANG” which features fellow Scarborough artist Kin Smuv on the hook.
The mixtape will feature “BIG BANG” as well as other original records and dubplates. DJ Shamann will be holding down the mix and this project will be the introduction of Shamann as Gangis Khan’s official DJ. More information about this project will be released in the near future. Stay tuned!

So this timeline of Jay-Z’s career was featured in the September issue of Exclaim! magazine, but I figured today, the intended release day of The Blueprint 3 and the day of his benefit concert was as good as any to post the full online version here. It’s no UBX, but then again what is?

Randomly spotted this on HipHopDX.com. The Toronto-based group has been making noise for a few years now (most notably for their track “Burn Down The Disco”) but I think this is their first official video. If I’m not mistaken they’ve also done a lot of work behind the scenes, writing and producing for artists as varied as Jully Black to Britney Spears!
Gee Wunder – Kid Out Da Hood, from the digital release Hood Politics (Street Album II) available on iTunes now! Album features J Diggz, Cory Lee, Shaun Boothe and more! CD now available at Rockwells (Yonge & Dundas), Uptown (Yonge & Dundas), Play De Record (Yonge & Dundas) and Mixtape Maniacs (Weston Rd. & St. Clair).
From XXLmag.com! Shouts to 1da doing great things right now. They talk Drake, 1da’s desire to work with the Jonas brothers and everything in between. Peep the article below or click here to go to the page.
Drake isn’t the only star emerging from Toronto. T. Dot producer Boi-1da is steadily making a name for himself behind the boards—crafting noteworthy singles over the past 12 months, including Kardinal Offishal’s “Set It Off,” Drake’s “Best I Ever Had” and the monster collabo “Forever” featuring Drizzy, Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Eminem.
With a growing clientele that includes G-Unit, the Diplomats and Andre 3000, it looks like Boi (born Matthew Samuels) is just getting started. XXLMag.com recently caught up with the beatsmith to speak on his role on Dr. Dre’s mythical Detox project, his interest in the Jonas Brothers and his work on Drake’s highly anticipated debut, Thank Me Later.
XXLMag.com: I read that Drake is trying to come up with his own sound instead of using big name producers. You have definitely cemented your place as one as Drake’s signature producers. How many tracks have you done for the new album?
Boi-1da: Right now I have three that I know of. There are a lot of other beats that he likes. There is one that he wants to use and there are like a couple other beats. The thing is, [the way] Drake works is differently. He won’t write a song exactly when he gets the beat. He’ll want ‘til it comes to him and than after that he will write.
XXL: How many of those songs has he recorded already?
Boi-1da: One of them [he] recorded that’s finished and one of them he just said, “Yo, this has to go on my album.”
This weekend, barbers, beat-makers and anyone who just wants to get fresh to def will be heading out to Scarborough to take part in YOUnited’s east-side version of The Manifesto Festival…
