In ’07 Manifesto set out on a bold path to create a yearly festival that celebrated Toronto’s youth, art and hip-hop movements. Here’s the festival closer that saw 20 years of Toronto hip-hop history come to together on one stage for one “Legendary Live Mixtape Show Finale”.
Shouts to Manifesto for creating a great moment at a time when Toronto really needed it.
The Mosaic Trifecta Project is the first release from the Mosaic Music label, home to Mayhem Morearty, Adam Bomb (of Empire aka The Fifth Letta Fam), Navy Sealz, and producer Soze. 5 joints from each artist, with guest appearances from Styles P, Blessed, Marcus Voyce, & more! Production from Soze, Snaz, Blunt, 40/40 aka Mr. Shebib, & Mac Millz/Y-Not of Soundsmith! The fellas came through to talk about the project and ofcourse we had to test their skills on the spot to see if they were razor-sharp.
I haven’t even had a chance to check this out yet but based on his previous work Reefah is definitly one of the sickest MCs in the city. Mixtape’s available on Datpiff. Check it out here.
This is a few months old but I get a late pass because I just ran into Dopey the other day and when I asked for some new ish to post on the new blog this is what he sent! Ha! Peace to the whole team. The album’s out on BBE. Here’s the iTunes link. Cop that!
hyperadmin | Interviews | Thursday, August 6th, 2009
Understandably there were a lot of parties in Toronto last week and one of the many artists who came through was DJ Spinna who performed a set down at Sunnyside Pavillion on Sunday.
Didn’t make it to this show, but Spinna was here earlier in the year at Revival with the Michael Jackson vs. Prince Soul Slam where he put down an excellent MJ-leaning set before the King of Pop died and Spinna showed why he is one of the most eclectic accomplished DJs around.
Set aside his SoulSlam parties, his Wonder-full Stevie Wonder events and his house music sets, DJ Spinna is also an accomplished hip-hop producer, producing a number of essential tracks for the pioneering indie label Rawkus among others, as well as having his own group the Jigmastas. His latest album Sonic Smash is a return to hip-hop for Spinna and it was released a couple of weeks back. Cityonmyback.com contributor Kevin Jones had the chance to speak to him for Exclaim! magazine.
