Guys, I had a great idea! Not a “hey, it’s the Tuesday after a long weekend and we need something to post” idea, but truly a great idea. Of course all the cool kids know the Polaris Prize short list was released a while ago, yet the gala is still some 50 days away, so(…)

Shad - Stylin f. Saukrates
Yes, everyone on the Internet has already posted or linked to this awesome new Shad video, but guess what Chauncey? I’m posting it too. As someone who’s already admitted to posting anything Shad releases, while also, just the other day in fact, saying that a Saukrates hook gets you an auto-post, it’d be delightfully hypocritical(…)
Derek Christoff x The Arkeologists - the d.ark tape
I’m getting older. I know this partly because the main association of I have with “40” is no longer as the O.G. drink of choice, but the age I will be in a year and change. But moreso than that, I can tell I’m aging because it seems that with each passing day I find(…)
Grand Analog - Rap Sheet (This Day On) f. Saukrates
Back, caught you lookin’ for the same thing. It’s a new thing. Check out this I bring. An epic family vacation and then the work repercussions of said vacation has resulted in a few Naedoo-free weeks here at the hill. Since no one likely realized I was even gone, I figured I’d lead off with(…)
Heaven For Real - WANTON
In the immortal words of the legendary Belinda Carlisle, Heaven is a Place On Earth. When the sun is burning bright here in Halifax, I believe her. I say that because I imagine that Heaven, were it to be an actual thing, is very nice, and downtown Halifax, in the sunshine, is extremely nice. Hey,(…)
Maestro - Dearly Departed f. Kardinal Offishall
The last couple years have felt like kind of a musical resurgence for the man named Wes Williams, aka the Godfather of Canadian Hip Hop Maestro Fresh Wes. Of course, being the talented, renaissance man he is, Wes has always been extremely busy, whether it be acting, writing or making music, but of late there’s(…)
Friday Fun:: New Ghettosocks 7″
This one almost slipped by me. I guess I wasn’t expecting to see a PR email announcing new Ghettosocks music from London’s Blunted Astronaut Records, but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. Halifax’s Grand Wiazrd of Emcee Wizardry has been collaborating with renowned UK duo The Herbaliser for a minute now, so working with a(…)
Ain’t No Love - Fake Your Dreams
We’ve gone full summer jams mode here at the hill of late, and we aren’t going to apologize for it. This is Canada son, we don’t get much damn summer, so you’d be wise to celebrate it when it’s here. Case in point, it was sweltering here in Halifax yesterday, which led to a bit(…)
The Motorleague - North America
It’s Monday afternoon, the sun is (mostly) shinning here in Halifax, yet many of us are stuck, as I am, behind a desk, instead of running amok and rocking out in the streets. Fuck that. When you have the power of rock within you, as you and I surely do, four walls cannot contain you.(…)
Mad Dukez & Fresh Kils - Bootleg Bartenders
Barroom shenanigans. Since the beginning of MTV-based time, these have been the basis for many a music video. Add this to the fact that the song in question is called “Bootleg Bartenders”, and it’s no surprise that the newly minted duo of Buffalo MC Mad Dukez and T.O. producer Fresh Kils set their debut video(…)
