From New Industry North’s youtube channel via HHC!
The 10th installment of The Beat Lounge took place last Saturday night with beats from a variety of homegrown producers including Rich Kidd, Big Popps, Gigz and an exclusive world premier from Tone Mason of a brand new Saukrates track (at the 3:10 mark)!
I’m assuming this is the song Melly keeps talking about. Geez, can’t wait for this Saukrates album to drop (rubs hands together greedily).
This looks liks a dope event…and it’s FREE! Peep:

Keynote Address: Hip Hop Histories and Urban Culture Photography with Ernie Paniccioli
Ernie Paniccioli is a legendary American photographer and documentarian of hip hop culture, and a longstanding member of the Zulu Nation. He is a Cree Native American, and grew up in Brooklyn, New York. His photography of hip hop began in the 1970s with shots of graffiti in New York. Ernie Paniccioli has published 8 books to his credit, including the hugely influential “Who Shot Ya’: Three Decades of Hip Hop Photography who’s images transcend time, depicting the days of fat-lace Adidas shell toes, b-boys on cardboard boxes, oversized boomboxes. Ernie was the chief photographer for Word Up! magazine for many years and his work has appeared in a variety of books and periodicals, most notably Life, Vibe, Time, Rolling Stone, Newsweek, and The New York Times, as well as on MTV and VH1. Beyond the hip hop world, Paniccioli has captured a number of popular figures on film, among them Frank Sinatra, Liza Minelli, John F. Kennedy Jr., Britney Spears, and Ricky Martin. (more…)
Honestly if you’ve never seen this icon perform you NEED to be here tonight! Plus you got JB, P Reign & Peter Jackson opening AND The Boogeyman (TBM) along with Dj Wrispect doing the turntables dirty!
Peep the Busta mix The Boogeyman (TBM) did last night on OTA Live! to get everyone amped for tonight
Just in case you needed a reminder of how sick Rich Kidd is on the production (and the mic) the good people at Ridgeway Ent. along with Tara Muldoon are putting on this event to well…remind you. The night will consist of Rich Kidd taking you through his new mixtape as well as some of the recent singles he’s produced. Should be a dope night but guess what…it’s on a Thursday and we have the show so I will be missing another event. Thanks a lot guys. You know OTA is on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Is it too much to ask for a Wednesday night event??? lol
King Reign – Soarin’ to Heaven feat. Saukrates, Tona & Rich Kidd
New brand JB! The “Good In The Hood” remix featuring two pillars of Canada’s hip-hop foundation, Michie Mee & Maestro Fresh Wes!
From CBC Radio 3’s site:
“There is one M.C. from Toronto who has consistently put it down heavy for the Hood. His name is JB and (he is anything but Just Another Brother!)he not only represents Toronto but JB represents the streets nation wide and is WELL respected for it.”
Check JB opening for Busta Rhymes August 19th @ The Phoenix Concert Theatre.
JB’s album My Environment out soon!
“Fast Pace” is the second single/video off Tona’s SOLID sophomore set “Direct Deposit”, a collaboration with producer Lyve. The song features Saukrates & T.R.A.C.K.S. from IRS.
Big shouts to David F. Mewa who’s batting a pretty impressive director average (Famous’ “Ain’t No Use” & “A Kid Tryna Make It”, Tona’s “Major”).
The video release party’s going down at Revival (783 College St) tomorrow night but don’t holla, just reach.
And for those that still haven’t heard the song (even tho I swear it’s being rinsed everywhere, including my I-pod as I type this): Download
If you like it, vote for it on The MCC.
Also catch Tona on The Real Frequency tonight @ 11pm (Flow 93.5 FM) as I fill in for Arcee.
Spotted at NR. Cameos from Bishop and I think I saw Peter Jackson in the cut.
