“I’ve been doing this for a while and this is my first solo video so I’m really excited for everyone to see it”. “A lot of people recognized me from the Luu Breeze video for “Stick Up for Love Pt. 2”, which I had fun doing, but it’ll be nice for them to put a face to my record.” – Show Stephens
Get Rite Music Group shot this video last month independently in Toronto with young director William Barber who also shot Luu Breeze’s video “Stick Up For Love Pt. 2” featuring Show Stephens.
Peter Jackson gears up for his debut album release with the lead single/video from In My Life – right in time for Mother’s Day. Some solid visuals here (when does a rainy funeral scene not work??? lol). Directed by Chris Stacey. For a full director’s breakdown of the video click here!
This is Peter Jackson’s lead single off of his debut album In My Life that drops in stores & online June 15th. It is sampled from the song “The Simple Man” by Lynyrd Skynyrd. The record was produced by Dave Sheldon & DJ S-Luv. Care Failure is the singer on the chorus, she is from the rock group Die Mannequin.

You know your Mom has e-mail now lol. Send her a nice likkle Happy Mother’s Day greeting courtesy of Melanie Fiona! Inside you’ll also get an exclusive look at the complete “You Stop My Heart” music video. If you remember, she released a snippet of the video on Valentine’s Day but in the Mother’s Day greeting you can watch the whole thing (def one of my favorite songs off The Bridge!). Anyways, shouts to Ms. Fiona who is currently out in Europe touring with Alicia Keys!
Ok, so real talk my first few impressions of this cat weren’t the best. First song I heard I thought he was biting Drake, then there was some rumour about him being Drake’s lil’ brother (or something? can’t remember details now) and I was like…lame. BUT…here on Cityonmyback.com we like to always see the glass half-full so to speak. That being said, this is a great look at a young artist taking the initiative to pack his bags, press up his CDs and try to make things happen in arguably the biggest hip-hop city right now, Atlanta. Empty shows, opening slots, freestyling on the street, handing out CDs, pitching songs to producers, college radio etc etc etc…all necessary building blocks for any successful career. So, Torey Lanez, for this I salute you and wish you all the best. Keep grindin’!
Here’s a tag-free cut that was previously found off Tapemaster Inc’s Far From Over, courtesy of Splash. Look for the album version to feature a different hook, and a feature from Lil Wayne.

JUNO Award winning performing producer Slakah the Beatchild embarks on 4-city tour featuring singer/songwriters Tingsek from Sweden and Ebrahim from Vancouver.
Toronto, ON — On the heels of the release of his electrifying video “Enjoy ya Self v2” featuring Canadian Hip Hop sensation Drake, currently seen on Much Music, VH1, Tempo, Centric TV, as well as hundreds of websites and blogs, Slakah the Beatchild has announced his upcoming tour dates for Spring 2010. The tour will visit select cities in Ontario, Quebec and the U.S. from May 26 – 30 and features JUNO nominated singer/songwriter Ebrahim from Vancouver and, for the first time in Canada, Swedish singer/songwriter Tingsek. This will be the Beatchild’s first opportunity to showcase music from his alter ego, The Slakadeliqs, a live, multi-genre group with sounds fueled by artists including Andre 3000, Neil Young, Lenny Kravitz, the Zombies, k-os and The B-52’s.
Kicking off on May 26 at Movement 2010 in Detroit, the 4-city tour will visit Montreal, Toronto and the small city of Sarnia, Ontario where Slakah was raised. The full tour schedule is as follows:

May 27 Sarnia, ON (Coffee Lounge (Exmouth))
May 28 Toronto, ON (LuLa Lounge)
May 29 Montreal, QC (La Sala Rossa)
Shouts to the homie Spinz who produced this joint. Really solid pop song which is definitely doing big things right now. Still waiting on the footage of Spinz live at MuchMusic. I always love when producers get in front of the camera because they always say they hate being in the spotlight but secretly you know they love it (shouts to Boi-1da lol). Anyways, here’s more info on the vid:
So You Think You Can Dance finalist and judge, Blake McGrath, has danced with the biggest pop stars in the biz from Madonna to Janet Jackson to Britney Spears. But, now McGrath is stepping out from the chorus line and up to the mic.
Blake has released his first single, The Night (Only Place to Go). Not only do viewers get to enjoy Blake and his half-nekkid loveliness, but the video also features former SYTYCD Canada contestants Natalli Reznik and Nico Archambault (Season 1 winner)
The song is catchy, sexy, and of course has a good beat for dancing. McGrath has successfully proven himself to be a triple threat – dancer, choreographer and now singer.
