Quick Hitters:: Urbnet Underground Hip Hop Vol. 5

Is it safe to say that Urbnet is the best indie hip hop label in Canada? I think I'd have to say yes. Don't get me wrong, there are certainly plenty of folks dedicated to the thankless task of producing solid hip hop here in this great big country of ours, but when you look at the volume of music Urbnet puts out, and the professional way they produce and promote it, this Toronto outfit likely takes the cake.

But don't take my word for it, just peruse their website for even a few minutes, and you'll likely come to the same conclusion. Or you can check out the latest release in their Underground Hip-Hop series, which features a long list of folks we've covered in one way or another here on the hill: D-Sisive, OK Cobra, Moka Only, DL Incognito, Circle Research, Dragon Fli Empire, Wordburglar, Ghettosocks, The Nope, and Grand Analog - to name but a few.

It's the kind of list that says a lot about Urbnet's good eye for Canadian hip hop talent, but for the amount of quality hip hop that you can find here if you're willing to look for it. Or you can skip all that looking jizz-jazz and simply get yourself a digital slice of Canadian awesome right here.
