hyperadmin | Video | Friday, February 5th, 2010

Caught this on TOFLO!

“It was an amazing feeling to then travel and to leave Toronto and then meet back up and to see where we are at, at the peak of our career,” Fiona said. “We’re just so supportive and happy for one another. It feels greater that it started out so small, at an infantile stage in Toronto, and now we’re both doing the best that we’ve ever done.”

NEWS: k-os Interview w/ HipHopDX.com!

hyperadmin | News | Thursday, February 4th, 2010

k-os chops it up with HipHopDX.com about the U.S. release of Yes, Natalie Portman, Kardi, his upcoming work with Drake and more!

k-os Reveals Work With Drake, Talks Natalie Portman
February 03, 2010 01:02:00 PM CST   |   by Paul W Arnold

If you don’t know the name k-os, rest assured you will be well aware of the spitter/singer and his addictive fusion style within the next few months. Following the U.S. release on February 23rd of the Toronto native’s hypnotic Electro-and-Rock flavored fourth full-length, Yes! (led by its latest single, the catchy and comically-titled “I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman”), k-os will be further exposed to the stateside masses via several recent recordings with fellow Canadian export Drake.

k-os revealed during his discussion with HipHopDX this past Tuesday (January 26th) just what he and Aubrey Graham have been working on together of late. The 15-plus-year veteran of T-Dot’s music scene also provided to DX some interesting insight into the disdain some of his countrymen have for Drake, but why all of his fellow Canadians should “take notes” from the most successful Canuck in the states to date.

NEW MUSIC: General – Runaway Slave (rmx) feat. Jordan Croucher

hyperadmin | Music | Thursday, February 4th, 2010

General links with Jordan Croucher for the remix to “Runaway Slave”. Video’s being shot this month also.

“Runaway Slave” serves to reach the youth in a method that’s meaningful to them.  The song comes from GENERAL’s appreciation of black history and overstanding how the past is relevant to each of us in the present.

DJ K.O. feat. Silent Knight, Emilio Rojas & Skyzoo "Get Em" (prod. Neenah)

As someone that personally believes the individualistic nature of hip-hop as an artform makes it completely possible for there to be sick, talented, female producers; I can’t lie.. I had a sincere WTF moment when I saw this posted on HHC, and listened to the actual song.

Now I know Neenah from the joint “Spell On Me” she sang with Camoflauge; I know she produces music; but I guess my honest initial reaction speaks to the bigger question of why there aren’t more female producers, not just in hip-hop, but in urban music (A question the dude Grumpy might try to cover in his panel discussions next month??).

Anyways here she is on production for Dj KO’s “Get Em” which features Silent Knight, Skyzoo & Emilio Rojas.

DISCLAIMER: Because we’re a society of devil’s advocating cynics, immediately ready to counter anything that seems ‘hyped up’, lemme just say that I am in no way implying that she is that next-level beat-maker coming for (insert your all-time favorite producer)’s throne (chill, chill). BUT if you’re telling me that when you looked at that angelic face above this commentary, you automatically thought raw-dog hip-hop producer… then hey, I apologize in advance. Everyone else: Have a happy (and hopefully welcomed) WTF moment on me.

NEW MUSIC: Good Company – Ms. 416 (Prod. by Fundamental)

hyperadmin | Music | Thursday, February 4th, 2010

Good Company is Fundamental (from T.O.) and Ayatollah Jaxx (from Pittsburgh). So I guess Fundamental had Jaxx here in the city and well…he clearly fell in love lol. Don’t blame you dude…we already know we got the finest ladies here. Anyways, here is Jaxx’s love for Toronto women in rhyme form.

6 time Pittsburgh Hip Hop Award nominee, Ayatollah Jaxx has released “Ms. 416” (prod Fundamental) the official single off of his upcoming solo LP Hello, Hip Hop.  The Good Company duo (Ayatollah Jaxx & Fundamental) are building off the formula showcased on their critically acclaimed debut The Damn Good EP released last April and are now hoping to further the success with the ballad hip hop has been lacking.

In an effort to re introduce himself this time around, Jaxx utilized not only his pen game, but his vocal talents as well by singing the hook and bridge on the single.  The past few weeks, Ayatollah Jaxx has been running a promotional campaign by releasing one exclusive song per week since January 20th up until the album drops on March 9th.

The first two songs were “Killin It” (prod B-Free Da Misfit) and the Internet sensation “Sucka For Love“. Two versions of the album will be released, a free download and a special edition with 6 bonus tracks. Hello, Hip Hop drops March 9th on Godsendant Music.
