I don’t know the severity of the situation but I definitely know that we take for granted how much goes into a festival like this behind the scenes. All you gotta do is make your vote count once per day!!! Via TRF:
The Manifesto Festival has entered the Aviva Community Fund in attempt to raise funds to to produce another stellar urban music & arts festival in Toronto for 2010. While the festival has been able to scrape by the past three years on government grants and corporate sponsorship, the funds are limited and cannot provide the proper support needed for the festival to grow year after year.
We ask you to please take 2 minutes to and cast your vote to show your support for the largest hip hop festival in Canada. You can vote once a day for the next 8 days until the contest closes. The goal is to raise win this contest in order to properly pay staff, artists and increase the scope of the festival for next year. No one else is gonna put us on, so we gotta put ourselves on – Toronto, support your own! – Phil
Some more footage from when Jigga was in T.O. last week. Here he sits down with the one and only Jully Black where they share a moment about Jully’s dad. Caught this on TOFLO!
Some visual proof as to why 9th Wonder said this. From TRF:
A bit late getting to this post, but here it is. This was probably the craziest party I’ve ever been to. Short of people wilding out at 3:30am on a Sunday in a club that was trying to get everyone out the door to close up (RE: lights were turned on and the bar was closed for an hour and a half), there were a ton of special guests in the house. Talib, 9th Wonder, Jeru, Tona, Notes To Self, Mindbender, Brassmunk, and a slew of other (way too many to mention) were there to witness Hi-Tek, Skratch Bastid, Rich Kidd, Sauks, Mercilless and Wristpect tear Revival down. Peace to Manifesto. -Phil

In case you missed the news a few weeks back, Toronto singer Rhea (who’s been living in the U.S. for a few years now) is the new member of N.E.R.D. Amazing look for her as she’s been GRINDING behind the scenes and deserves whatever success comes her way. Here’s a clip of some new N.E.R.D. music, the first time seeing/hearing her with the group. Seen on 2DBz!

Was hoping some better quality visuals would pop up for this but this’ll have to do. Thanks to hustleGRL for the better viz!. Check her page for more video of Jay-Z’s visit to Much! Shouts to Sinotra from the whole Ridgeway family. Was the first verse written??? I’ve seen him freestyle and he is that nice so it’s very believable even though Jay wasn’t believing it. You can tell a difference between the two verses though. Only Sinot knows the truth!!!
