Dope likkle trailer for what looks to be a promising documentary put together by Creamworld Magazine and P. Reign. The doc is about P’s experience opening up for Drake on tour and coincides with the release of his new mixtape which just dropped the other day (below).
The official documentary drops mid November. It will give you a look at what it is like to tour with drake and what life on the road is like as a new artist.
New music and visuals from Jessica Kaya called “Fake It”.
A nice, stripped down, heartfelt track. Expect to hear alot more from this lady in the near future; and if you haven’t been following her check an earlier video she put out a couple years back – “On Blast” (with her sister Eternia) + a live performance of “Fake It” after the jump!
Saidah Baba Talibah performs in Toronto for her album release party on October 14, 2010. Her debut album, (S)Cream satisfies you with her raw soulful, tantalizing voice accompanied with her distinct “fluid blend of bluesy rock, deep funk and hot buttered soul.” Available online now.
Fresh (although admittedly not very telling) look at the Rich Kidd performance a few weeks back at Revival (opening up for PacDiv). “Everybody’s Watching Me” in the background = niiiiice.

Footage from the Dead Prez concert that took place last Thursday at The Great Hall where new Toronto collective The Freedom Writers (Tona, Frankie Payne, Mathematik, Theology 3, Progress, Adam Bomb, and Big Sproxx) performed together for the first time. Thanks to HipHopNthrn, we get a sneak preview of some music plus some freestyle action from each emcee, and also insight into what the movement is is about. Be on the lookout for their introductory mixtape very soon and their debut album in the first quarter of 2011.
AUX-TV takes a look at commercial hip-hop with some help from the likes of Classified and Prevail (from Swollen Members). I dunno. Although Class and Prevail make some points worth talking about I only got through a few minutes of this before getting upset and thinking the hosts are just generally misinformed, have no idea what they’re talking about and just crafted the segment to make a cliche point.
