Peter Jackson continues to GRIND. Physical version of his new mixtape is out tomorrow (download digital version below). Here’s the the official press release which includes info on the tape as well as his album which is set for release in 2010! Mixtape tracklist after the jump!
Peter Jackson releases mixtape “BoomBox & A Tape” in anticipation of his album release in early 2010.
The music industry is always buzzing in anticipation of “the next big thing.” Based on the international success over the past year of other Toronto based MC’s Drake & Kardinal Offishall, the eyes of music industry are now focused on Toronto, Canada to find out who is next up out of the T.Dot.
The answer is simple…..PETER JACKSON.
PJ’s mixtape “A Boombox & A Tape” will be released Oct 31 and is sure to generate a huge buzz in anticipation of Peter Jackson official debut album release in early 2010 coming out via Fontana/Universal. “Boombox” is hosted by hip hop legends Naughty By Nature and Royce da 5’9 who will both appear on tracks from PJ’s debut album called “In My Life” that will also feature additional guest spots from the likes of Sizzla, D12, Classified, Nikki Awesome and is executive produced by Sheldon Moore who has produced platinum hits for the likes of K-OS (Crabbuuckit) among others.
“Boombox & A Tape” displays PJ’s delivery on over 23 classic tracks such as LL Cool J’s “Hey Lover” – Royce da 5’9’s “Boom” with highlights including the remix of Eric B & Rakim’s classic “Know The Ledge” where PJ spits “Husain bolt little homie do a 100 dash/take a shoe box out the closet pull a 100 stack/ what what what chu thinking baby you know/i should get a mmva or juno” as well as Outkast’s ATliens remix “me i pop harder then shotguns with two barrels/an grind harder then bullet frags in bone marrow.”
Peter Jackson is set to embark on his 4th cross Canada tour (in December) within the past 12 months this time along side Slaughterhouse. In Nov 2008, PJ did 15 dates alongside D12, Joe Budden, Royce da 5’9 & Classified and in March 2009 he played 12 dates with Naughty By Nature followed by 9 dates opening for Busta Rhymes & Belly.
Part 4 of 4 of Chris Shaban’s In Defense of Drake! Like I said in the last post, to read this article the way it’s truly meant to be read please visit Chris’ blog: www.farbeyond.ca. Basically, he’s written the piece in a new style he’s invented called FOOTNOTES. It’s kinda like pop-up video the way the FootNotes pop-up on the page but we unfortunately can’t get the coding to work on our blog. The FootNotes here are after the jump! Alas…read it here, read it there, just read it.
Part IV
So this is it, the final chapter: In Defense of Drake. For the people that have stuck around since the beginning, it’s nice to have you back[i]. For anyone that’s new to FootNotes, please feel free to begin here with Part IV; however, just for the full effect, or to learn how to read the actual FootNotes themselves, it would be cool if you started back at Part I[ii]. Here, in this last edition I put the pen down. Straight up, I have no further questions. So now it’s up to the Prosecution to bring forth their case against Drake[iii]. To help the cause they have reached out to one of the biggest and most well known haters this side of Michael Moore and Bill O’Reilly[iv], your friend and mine, Ricky Rapper, Esq.[v]. I’ll be sure to hop back in every now and then to supply you with the FootNotes because Ricky doesn’t have that kinda pull around here.
Briefly, I want to speak on the structure of Blog.FarBeyond.ca, or FarBeyond FootNotes, moving forward[vi]. These are long writings, stretched out even further because of the FootNotes. You see, all of the articles that will be posted here every Friday were originally intended to be just individual one-piece essays[vii]. However, due to the fact that these bad boys are not being published on MacLeans.ca or NewYorker.com, I felt it was best to try and feed it in bite-sized doses[viii] in an effort to hopefully keep your attention[ix]. Anyway, now that the first FootNotes submission is complete, please feel free to read all four parts, in order, as one complete article. Read it the same way you’d sit down to read a book like ‘Good to Great’, ‘Freakonomics’ or ‘The 22 Immutable Laws of Branding’[x]. What’s Next? Well, funny you should ask, because on Friday November 6th, Pete is presenting what might be one of the most important pieces about music that you’re going to read this year. It’s entitled ‘Sounds Good? – Why you should HATE the way you’re listening to music.’
Also, I want to tell you guys about Not For Everyone clothing. The labels creator Stephen Lee just put me on to this stuff. Think urban chic, mad Grown & Sexy. Check out his blog at http://www.n4e1.com/blog/
Enough plugs[xi], Let’s Go…

(Toronto, Canada) On November 3rd, history will be made with the fourth installment of the Live Cypher Series. What happens when you put eight of Canada’s best rappers in one room? You realize very quickly, hip hop ain’t dead it lives in the north. The live internet event will be broadcast in HD from 6-8pm on Spiritlive.net and features: Adam Bomb, Bishop Brigante, Mayhem Morearty, Magnum 357, Peter Jackson, Jonny Roxx, Rich Kidd & Scorsese.
“I told all of the MCs, it’s time to make statements,” says Jonathon Brown, who started the Live Cypher Series a few years ago with Off Da Tracks’ Alex “Leche” Narvaez.
Partnering in the event is HipHopCanada.com, The Real Frequency Blog, Champ Magazine, Live The Culture, Itlivesinthenorth.com & Cityonmyback.com. Off Da Tracks’ DJ Dames Nellas will be handling the beats as Leche & Bizz host the event.
“What’s engaging about this event is fans can log on live and watch the magic happen through a high definition video feed on their computers at home,” says Alex “Leche” Narvaez. “And then we’ll also be producing a series of online videos of the event to be viewable on demand on Youtube.”
For more information contact Jonathon “Bizz” Brown at Livetheculture@gmail.com or Alex “Leche” Narvaez at Offdatracks@gmail.com.
