NEW MUSIC: Wale – Bittersweet feat. Colin Munroe
Caught this on 2DBz. Featuring T.O.s own Universal/Motown recording artist Colin Munroe (ok fine, he’s not actually from T.O. but his parents are so we can claim him lol).
NEW MUSIC: Psy (from the Oddities) – Summer's End
Some new laaaaaiiiiid baaaaack music from Psy (from the Oddities):
I know you probably haven’t heard from our crew in a minute, but I wanted to hip you to a couple things I got goin’ on, and also give you a track that I’m posting online for free download. This song is something I’m using to start hopefully creating a lil’ bit of buzz for the upcoming Nope (myself & Moka Only) release, coming out on Domination Recordings this October, as well as my solo album, which will be dropping early in the new year.
So Imma few days late. The first day of fall was 9/22, but on the west coast, we’re still holdin’ on to those last bits of sun that are hitting us, so I’ve decided to send around a joint I penned to celebrate/mourn this time of year. I’d like to say it speaks for itself. Summer’s End. Raps by Psy (The Nope/Oddities). Produced by Fortune (Peoplemovers) & Book (Beatface/Oddities).

NEWS: K'naan on shortlist to produce on next Eminem album!
“”Me and Fif did a couple of records, couple of months ago in Vegas, one song for my record and another for his,” Em revealed in an interview. “We just wanted to like, I just had an idea to like ‘Yo, why don’t we do something we ain’t done yet.’ And kinda go back and forth, we’ve kinda done it on other records but not to the extent of what we’re doing on this one…The way that it’s going now, K’Naan has two [produced] tracks on the record and Just Blaze has four, possibly five…I definitely feel like I’m in a little different space right now. I don’t know, with the last record, it felt like a lot of it had to do with me being sober…With Relapse 1 — a lot of that album, I wanted to rap at fire and do punchlines.” (Shade 45) “
Obviously these types of things are tentative; who knows what’ll happen by the time Relapse 2 drops but it’s coming straight from the mouth of the man. Either way tip your fedora to The Dustyfoot Philosopher who’s had a HUGE year!
Press Release: Droppin Dimez is back live on the CKLN airwaves!
From the Droppin Dimez Press Release:
One Love DD Fam!!
*sigh*
*sigh*
Where do we begin? After being off the air since February, we’re beyond ecstatic to announce that DD Radio is BACK!! Tonight marks our first live-to-air show in about 8 months and there’s SO MUCH new music, we’ll try our best to squeeze it all in.
First off though, we have to say a sincere THANK YOU.
To all the industry label peeps, producers and artists who hit us up online, texted, called us and to the listeners who showed support by literally stopping us on the street to let us know how much Droppin’ Dimez has been missed – thanks a million!!!
Although we weren’t at CKLN, we definitely kept it moving over the past few months, making appearances at our province-wide Jam Van highschool tour, Canadian Music Week, NXNE, UMAC’s Urban Music Showcase, AFROfest, Honey Jam, Manifesto Festival, and more. JJ Rock opened for Keri Hilson, and MelBoogie opened for Busta Rhymes and DJ’d for Maestro (for the first time!!), all the while reppin’ for ladies in hip hop. Thanks to our extended radio family, we also did a few guest spots on radio – special thanks to DJ O? (Sound Junction, CHRY 105.5FM), DJ Manifest (Toronto Morning Live, CHRY 105.5FM) and The Real Frequency (FLOW 93.5FM) for the love.
Lastly, thanks for continuing to support CKLN 88.1FM during its absence from the airwaves. Tonight, we’re going until 2AM and plan to to deliver a show with straight music. Playlists and interviews will resume next week… in the meantime, it’s a celebration!!
