WOW!!! I can’t stress the importance of this clip enough!!!

We talk about this on OTA Live all the time. So much Toronto hip hop history right here in this clip. Especially the T.O. vs. NY battle footage from the Concert Hall at the end of the clip. That’s a historic night. That was one of Ron Nelson’s events (see how rammed it was) and that might of been the same night Ivan Berry discovered King Lou from Dream Warriors (in the bathroom rapping of all places lol). This is the same night where Rumble battled KRS-One. Michie not only destroys her competition but would later go on to tell KRS that it was ok to incorporate Jamaican patois in his raps (historic)! Toronto was the first destination for NY rappers to travel to to test their chops outside of their home town and as we are now, we were a ruthless crowd back then too!

Crazy clip. Big shout to Smugglaz TV!

This song’s been out for a bit but we finally get to see a video for it! Big shouts to Divine but I don’t get the Nelly Furtado shout out at the end. Nelly’s on some new “ghost feature” type ish lol (same with “I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman”). Big shouts to Slakah with the cameo!!!

Jamie Foxx feat. Drake, Kanye West & The Dream – Digital Girl (Michael Jackson Remix)

Just seen this dope interview @ Freshly Educated Men with one of Toronto’s more slept on artists, Graph Nobel.

Taken from the F.E.M. interview:

“For over a decade now, there’s been an extremely gifted home grown talent that continues to make a name for herself in the music industry.  Graph Nobel has been in the game for awhile now, and has worked with the likes of: The Roots, Sam Roberts, Cody Chesnutt, Jully Black, Esthero, Keisha Chante…just to name a few.  Being 1/3 of Idle Warship, she is the true embodiment of Toronto’s creative energy, perseverance and musical intellect.”

Peep the entire interview here.
