“7 Days to Nepal” from new artist J.R. Richy. Never heard of dude before so consider this the introduction. He’s performing on Sunday as part of Tika Simone‘s (Hiiiiii Tika!) The Known [UN]Known showcase series also (all info under the cut). Shouts to Tika for consistently putting on new artists…!
Preeeety crazy to see all these artists on their grind back then. Shouts to Mauricio for passing this along!
The year was 2003:
A passionate group of up and coming directors, artists, and community leaders embarked on a musical journey. The goal: to throw down the realest rap show the city had ever experienced. The goal was accomplished.
Held at Toronto’s legendary concert venue The Reverb, 4 cameras captured the entire thing. From the soundcheck, backstage, to the gathering crow at the door, we see everything, and get a very unique glimpse of Toronto at a very special time when Hip Hop was really Alive in the city.

Another great example of the direction traditional-minded hip-hop producers NEED to start going in to expand the potential horizons of their own movement. A beat doesn’t always have to be a vehicle for a singer or emcee – it can be a fully-formed musical piece in its own right – it’s all about how you perceive it and present it.
If you’re already familiar with this kid, then good on you – but if you’re like me and just getting your first taste (shouts to Del for putting me on to this kid) – get connected at the links below!
