“Judge me and you’ll have no time left to love me.”
Let’s pledge to care more about the latter and enjoy the ride one of our own is on.
Album drops June 15th and if we don’t think the Toronto sales matter more in that week than the sales in any other city in the world, then we truly don’t understand what Drake’s success is supposed to mean for the Mega.
“Thank Me Later” is just as much about what WE do, as it is about what he does; and he’s already accomplished the seemingly impossible.
Rochester hooks up with ThinkCONTRA for visuals to a pretty introspective reinterpretation of Cold Play’s “Lost”. Canada, look for Juice on a stage near you; he’s currently on a cross country tour with the 411 Initiative.
“Another Shot” by REFLECT. Some pretty good visuals here. Another great example of what you can do these days with a small budget, some creativity and some technical savvy. It’s funny, because “back in the day” there were certain physical costs that went in to making a record (i.e. pressing vinyl or CDs). Now that those costs are gone, there should be money everytime for videos and/or promo, no? But I digress.
Vancity’s SonReal returns with a trailer video for his upcoming Light Year Mixtape. Directed/filmed/edited by Dane Collison. Produced by Byron Wilson. Great to see a solid push coming out of my original hometown. Get familiar with dude. “What If” (below) is a solid (and slept-on) joint featuring Promise and produced by Rich Kidd and the video for “Who Am I” (also below) is a perfect introduction.

T-West – “Maybe It’s Okay” (Hosted By: DJ Gutta x Live The Dream) will be released on April 15th, 2010 at http://www.maybeitsokay.com – This website will give listeners the opportunity to listen to the entire CD before downloading, and donate to the CD as well. We are firm believers in people paying for what they think something is worth, and that’s how this CD will be treated. Whether you think it’s worth $0.01, $1.00, or $10.00, we want you to let us know!
Chedo of The Come Up Show chops it up with Grand Analog’s Odario Williams. They touch on the importance of hip-hop artists translating their music on the stage, his transition into the i-pod playlist era, the environmentalism that inspired the title of their latest album and more.
