“Drake’s longtime engineer and producer Noah “40” Shebib has joined the famed Hip-Hop Since 1978 family.Known for producing the bulk of Drizzy’s critically-acclaimed So Far Gone mixtape, including the monster single “Successful,” XXLMag.com recently caught up with 40 to talk about his new management deal.
‘Working around Drake so much and with G and [Cor]Tez {Bryant] and everybody you know, [I] ended up becoming very close with them,’ 40 said. ‘Coming from Toronto and New York City where Hip Hop Since 1978 is based is like a second home to me. It was an easy fit.’
Headed by power duo G. Roberson and Kyambo “Hip-Hop” Joshua, HHS1978 is known for propelling the careers of some of today’s biggest artists. They were largely involved in the day-to-day operations of Roc-A-Fella Records since it’s inception and were largely responsible for getting Kanye West his deal. Along with Ye they also manage the high profile careers of Lil Wayne and Young Jeezy.”
Big day for Drizzy! This HAS to be the first time a Toronto artist has ever graced the cover of The Source. Congrats! Oh yea…the other Young Money members are there too.
MTV caught up with Timbaland at the VMAs. Regarding Drake on the “Off That” hook Tim says, “I thought to me, we took him out his element” (totally agree) but if he could have done the song over he’d def have given Drake a verse.
“Some of Toronto’s finest beatmakers, Rich Kidd, Boi 1da, Mega Man, Team Soundsmith, & Northern Profit gathered yesterday nearby Scarborough Town Center to show love to each other and play each other’s favourite beats. Collectively, they have produced for the likes of Drake, G-Unit, Busta Rhymes, Rakim, Kardinal Offishall, Young Jeezy, Fabolous, K-Os, and Saukrates just to name a few. Watch as they select their favourite beats from each other; some already hit records, others yet to be released, all heateration.”
Looks like it was a DOPE event (shouts to Keezy on the footage!).

THEY SPELLED hustleGRL WRONG!!! Lower case ‘h’!!! lol
Shouts to Karla doing her thing. Peep the article below:
Name: Karla “hustleGRL” Moy School: École Secondaire Jeunes Sans Frontières (Youth Without Borders Secondary School in English – I go to an all French Highschool) Grade/Year: Grade 12 – Class of 2010 baby! Favorite Subject/Major: Media Arts, Health & Technology GPA: 3.69 Hometown: Toronto, Canada
1. Where do you see yourself in five years?
In five years I will be 22 years old, therefore I see myself graduated from Ryerson University. I plan on going to school for Media Arts but then I want to take this 6-month course that will get me a teaching degree for Media Arts.That’ll be of good use for me when I get old and want to be out of the game. I can go teach at some high school at the age of 35-45 or so; maybe that’ll change… Also, I see my hustleGRL brand expanded across the nation. I will be working for more corporate companies and doing other things such as event planning, event hosting and PR work. Until then, I’m going to focus on my graphic design and expand my Photoshop and Illustrator skills. I will definitely keep my eyes open for various opportunities.
“It may not mean nothing to y’all…” but if you’re getting that same feeling of undeniable history in the making I’m getting whenever I hear this song, you know any signs of a video in the works are welcome signs!
“It’s been a phenomenal year for critically acclaimed Toronto Emcee Theology 3, from the unforgettable50 BARS, SAME PATTERNbuzz video to the Worldwide banger Make It Big on Screwface Capital® records. Receiving consistent international spins from the likes of Dj Eclipse (NYC), Dj Kingstun (U.K.), Dj Lord Jazz (Paris), and Michael Nardone (California) coupled with Canada wide support from DJ’s such as Dj Grouch (T.O.), Budda Blaze (Montreal), Jay Boogie (Winnipeg), Dj Cosm (Calgary), Dj Sage (B.C.) & Countless others, the table has been set for a bevy of highly anticipated new releases.
The upcoming FEATURING…NO Features ep, due out digitally October 2009, is laced with one of a kind production spotlighting a wide array of topical rhymes spanning the spectrums of self confident banter, stream of consciousness lyrics and all areas in between. This truly is a sonic ride not be missed! The over the top bounce of “Under my Skin” (Tek n’ Klipz) and the hypnotic head nod of “Employee of the Month” (produced by grammy nominated Tone Mason) display the stunning contrast of sounds and styles with vivid realism.
As a salute to the growing legions of fans and industry supporters of the musical movement, Theo3 will be releasing1 BRAND NEW verse every week with production from Toronto beat monster Big Sproxx leading up to the October release date of the FEATURING…NO Features ep.“
