I don’t want to get all Louis C.K. on you, but he certainly has a point about how quickly we begin to take amazing technology for granted. I think this is especially true where music is concerned. Back in the day, if you wanted to record an album, you had to find some way to(…)
Oh I know what you’re thinking: “Isaiah Toothtaker? But he’s not Canadian, why are you featuring him on the hill?!?!?!” First of all, that’s a very agressive tone to be taking considering we’re talking about someone who’s been in some 400 streetfights – I hope for your sake Isaiah never reads this. Secondly, this new(…)
I’m not sure why, considering I’ve always been a fan of his uncompromisingly unorthodox style, but it seems it’s been ages since we’ve posted something from Ira Lee. That’s a problem we remedy today with Ira’s new video for The Photographer. The song, with its fantastic, cacophonous beat from LA’s Thavius Beck, is classic Ira(…)
Like with Fraction & Fresh Kils’ Extra Science, I was drawn to this new EP from Laika (aka the producer/MC duo of Factor & Kay the Aquanaut) because it features production from one of my favorite CDN producers. In this case though, I was much more familiar with the MC, being fully aware that Kay(…)
Ok, you can stop looking, I found it. You know how for years you’ve been looking for a song & video to replace Summertime as your penultimate summer jam? Well I’ve found it in the form of an updated, Toronto-based version from Kit Knows. As the fashion fates would have it, the ball caps in(…)
Once again, my desire to try and carve out some time for a real review of a record I enjoy has resulted in nothing but a huge delay in coverage for the rather excellent Extra Science. As a longtime fan of Fresh Kils production work, I’m always interested in his projects, but Kitchener MC Fraction(…)
Although I know nothing of his back-catalog, I’m kind of addicted to this new Blake Carrington (Dynasty catfight link goes here) track. The Bernie Mac intro, staccato military drums from producer Ric Notes and Blake’s hungry, rapid-fire delivery are all working for me. The black & white video for the song, which is a frenetic(…)
![Graceland – Derek Christoff [aka D-Sisive]](http://www.herohill.com/wordpress_hh/wp-content/themes/elemin/themify/img.php?src=http://www.herohill.com/wordpress_hh/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/D-SisiveGraceland.png&w=100&h=100)
There’s something fitting about posting this new track from Derek Christoff (you may know his as D-Sisive) after the release of the Polaris Short List and this ffwd article about Canadian music being boring that had all the kids in a tizzy. You can check the track for yourself, but basically it’s Derek working off(…)
This here post would normally be a perfect candidate to be prefixed with the “Friday Fun” moniker, but the great title Shad has given his latest EP/album is a little too long to make that possible. No worries though, because once you give your ear holes the chance to hear Shad kicking the ballistics over(…)
One good T.O. rap video deserves another. Last night I posted a new video from Relic, a super talented guy who seems to have been unjustly flying under the radar until now. Sticking to that theme, we’ve got the new video for The Rebels from T.O. duo The Antiheroes (Flex & Sha Prince). While they(…)
