Congrats amigo! From Rollingstone.com:

Nirvana, Eminem, Guns n’ Roses and 50 Cent, what do they all have in common? They were all winners of MTV Video Music Awards’ Best New Artist trophies, and now Lady Gaga, Drake, Kid Cudi, Asher Roth and 3OH!3 will look to join those names as they compete in the same category at the 2009 VMAs, taking place on September 13th at New York’s Radio City Music Hall.

By Jonathon “Bizz” Brown

Theo 3 coined the term years ago – Toronto is the “Screwface Capital.” Bishop caught the wrath hard especially in his early days. Kardinal felt it first-hand throughout his rise. Drake recognized it early on. And every other artist of the new generation coming from the GTA can’t escape it. The mentality that fandom is not feasible when the artist and fan both call Toronto home. It just can’t be done. The default setting for hip hop fans in Toronto is what I call the “transit-face,” because it’s the same expression you find on faces inside buses, trains and streetcars daily. That expression that somehow simultaneously says “I’m not mad at you, but I’m just not interested in giving you the impression I might like you – even if I do.” It’s the same look women from the city strap on during Caribanna – of course they make sure they look good, but that doesn’t mean they want you to talk to them. The reasons for such a bizarre mentality are varied and complicated, but luckily not the point of this column. Instead, I explain a bold new way of looking at the effects of the screw face mentality…

From Eternia777:

“In Episode #9, Eternia works with Project Reach Youth to spread the message of safe sex in Brooklyn. E is interviewed by Lovely, a 17-yr-old young lady from Bed-Stuy, who asks E vital Q’s about her upbringing & depictions of women in Hip Hop. The highlight of the day is the Open Mic in the hood, where the youth share life as they see it. Definitely candid. Definitely unplugged.”

Ms. Fiona live in Switzerland. Diva-to-be swag on 100. Thousand!

Been hearing about this dude for a minute but this is the first real look as far as videos go etc..He’s out of Halifax and if I remember correctly reps Team Offense! Produced by Tone…..Tone…….Tone……..Mason…Mason…Mason.

Shouts to Famous who brought his boy Benyan by the studio who reps TML which stands for That’s My Lid.

From TML:

“The TML ballcap has a removable brim that allows you to switch it out to fit your personal style. Being able to customize your lid helps you to be unique among many. Individuality in hip hop fashion is just as important as the labels and colors you rock everyday. Your style offers a glimpse to the world about who you are.”

I’m not a hat dude but this is a pretty dope concept. Very fitting.
