Peter Jackson has just signed to Fontana/Universal the same lable as Tech Nine, & Belly.

The world is so weird and ironic. I posted a viral video from Ottawa/Pittsburgh’s Cashtro earlier, then I seen this one over at Praise & Warship (shouts to The Real Voyce).

This one dropped in January but I don’t really think release dates should ever take precedence over noteworthy, relatively unheard material (I know Rez feels me on that).

Matter-of-fact if we could just stop with this incessant need to correlate a song’s relevance with when it was initially released I think it would make everything so much better.

Bottom line is: If you’re just hearing it, it’s new; and if you’ve already heard it, don’t spoil the moment for everyone else in the room.

Ahhh, but I digress…

Nice little visuals for the single. Enjoy!

Captivate Creative Studios & Triple B Records bring us a dope viral campaign introducing us to Pittsburgh/Ottawa’s  Cashtro and Dj Mes.

Funny how a well put together vid can make you look forward to a project. Definitely got me interested.

Cott damn this song still gives me goosebumps. For those that don’t know, K’naan gets a lot of press as a Somalian artist (which he is) but he also calls Toronto home. His music career basically launched from here a few years back with the help of one of Canada’s “urban music” pioneers Sol-Guy from Vancouver. Sol was instrumental in the early success of Rascalz, k-os, Kardi and more. Sol is also behind the MTV show 4Real and the legacy continues…

You wanna talk about a WORLD STAGE?

As more and more people start catching on to the blog I’m finding more and more people are sending us stuff to check out even if it’s been up on YouTube for over a month or even two. Here’s one that was posted back in September but I’m just getting up on now.

Gift Singh is a new artist that I’ve heard whispers about over the past few months. This vid was shot in the summer by CreActive media and was co-directed by Gifty. It features cameos from Devo Brown, Blake Carrington and T-Rexxx from 1loveTo. Gifty is a success story from The Remix Project.

“Take It Slow” is a jazz and hip-hop influenced song about a young man’s journey through Toronto. Though this city is home to great art, talent and diversity, there are also broken families, violence and an overwhelming sense of loneliness. Gifty consciously explores the dual nature of city life and urges his listeners to “take it slow”.

Toronto’s own singer/ producer/ songwriter, Gifty Singh is best known for his first independently release album Lovestreet. Gifty Singh strives to challenge what we are familiar with today by creating a new sound combining Jazz, R&B, Hip-Hop, Soft rock and Alternative giving it authenticity, sincerity and realism.

Lovestreet is now available on iTunes!

For those that don’t know, Toronto’s own Rhea recently became the newest member of N.E.R.D.

Like we always say on OTA Live!, this city prides itself on the fact that we have beautiful women that can actually hold their own vocally without digital assistance.
