This looks like it’ll be a dope event (i.e. lots of girls). Hosted by my celebrity crush, Tika Simone. Between this and the Herc thing, looks like it’ll be another beautiful night in the Mega.

Sunny Diamonds noticed there was a lack of exposure for R&B artists in Toronto, such as a showcase to flaunt their talent. Together, the Diamond Factory Studios family, Nadine Hope and HighClass came up with the concept of ‘Love Always, R&B’, a showcase taking place on Thursday, February 10th 2011 for all the R&B lovers out there.

Performers will include R&B artists from around the city such as, Daniel Daley, Marcus Voyce, Joe Louis, Brian Notice, J Melody, Trish, Emerson Brooks, Natosh and many more, including a few from across Canada.

All hosted by: Tika Simone

* Thursday, February 10th
* Vola Nightclub on 214 Adelaide Street West
* 8:00pm to 12:00am

At the door everyone will be given a Group E Love CD hosted by DJ Starting from Scratch blended by Dj OhSo, with the help of Dukey Dukez, Sunny Diamonds himself, and put together by the one and only Nadine Hope. The mixtape features many of the performers for the evening. Every lady in a couple will also be given a rose, just in the spirit of Valentine’s Day. Door price will be $15/person or $25/couple.

Come out, support, and fall in Love with R&B all over again!

5th Letter Fam rep Puzzle flips a familiar sample (well, it better be familiar lol) and summons the legend Adam Bomb for a joint called “Can I”. DJs you get the clean, dirty and acapella…

Just came back from the Town Hall meeting at Metro Hall. Although there were definitely some very “interesting” moments, the main point I took from it is that CKLN still has a chance to be saved so please do your part by visiting CKLN.FM and signing the petition as well as writing to the CRTC…ASAP.

Here’s some footage from Saturday’s Mixtape Massacre show (1-4pm) featuring freestyles from Smash Brovaz, Thrust, Tona, Rich Kidd and 4th Pyramid. Thought it was their last show but there’s def one more show this Saturday as well (which should be CRAZY).

Special shouts to Rich Kidd for editing his own potty mouth lmao. Too bad the video cuts off before Adam Bomb too. Shouts ro Ro’Shine for the link and Wan in the cut.

This may be one of the last cypher sessions that will be heard or seen on CKLN 88.1 as the CRTC is revoking their license which will take affect later this week. A lot of people passed through to show their support for what the Mixtape Massacre show has meant to the hip hop community in Toronto for many years. The show will be truly missed.

Littles & Syph link with DJ Gutta for a new tape called Perfect Strangers. Features Sese, JRDN, Mayhem, Luu Breeze and more! Full tracklist under the hood.

Toronto, Canada – Perfect Strangers is the new mixtape from Littles The General and Syph. Coming from two different ends of the country, repping two different sets, living two isolated lives, they’ve come together to create a diverse fusion of sound, swag and street sensibilities.

Excited by Syph’s talents, Littles The General rebirths his enthusiasm for rapping after spending the better part of 2010 in Miami. Long known for his bigger than life attitude, Littles originally hails from Nova Scotia and is co-founder of Team Offense. While relatively new on the scene, Syph is arguably a potential noise maker for 2011 with legitimate skills in rapping, singing and song writing. Repping Nu Money Gang, he only met Littles in 2010 and has split the last six months between recording and networking.

While Littles has a flamboyant track record, Syph is on the brink of his musical maturity. Once connected, the puzzle pieces paint an exciting picture: Perfect Strangers. Covering a plethora of versatile sounds, the essence of this project is found in the creative dynamics Littles and Syph manifest together. Seductive hooks, surrounded by in your face boasts, telling admissions and lively storytelling, 14 tracks will show you just how well these relative strangers can collaborate.
