It’s Friday, so in the immortal words of Greg Nice, “pass me an ice cold glass of wine”. The weekend is obviously the perfect time for ice cold wine, but it’s also the drink of choice today because I’m jamming out exclusively to Ghettosocks new mixtape We’re Gonna Drink A Lot Of Wine This Year,(…)
Like EPMD in 1987, this is a World Premier. On Tuesday we mentioned that we’d be posting the debut of the new video from Hip Hop’s heroes of the lunchroom – Teenburger. The Caley MacLennan-directed video for Food Court finds Timbuktu and Ghettosocks troopn’ hard through the Eaton Centre with some of their crew (Chokeules,(…)
Hey friendo, do you enjoy dope raps, wicked beats, razor-edge scratches and high-school-type hijinks? Well then you should be up on Teenburger. Rhymes by two of the most talented & charismatic MC’s in the biz Timbuktu & Ghettosocks, and beats & cuts by the legendary DJ Jorun Bombay. What more could you ask for? Not(…)
Happy 4th of July! This isn’t really the ideal holiday for a Canadian-centric music blog to celebrate, but I actually have the perfect video for the occasion. The slick looking new clip for Dial Tones off The Extremities amazing last album The Mint Condition is chock full of the things most Americans hold dear: fireworks,(…)
What does it say that a healthy portion of the new hip hop albums I’m the most excited to hear these days are often if the instrumental variety? Well I think it mainly says I’m a confirmed, curmudgeonly hip hop get-off-my-lawner, but I’d like to think that it also means there are plenty of talented(…)
Is there a better way to start your morning than with a brand new Ghettosocks video? I would contend that there really isn’t, especially when the track for said video features a sick Fresh Kils beat (one which appears to be some or all of his Transformers routine no less), Ghettosocks at his witty, 5(…)
Can’t exactly put my finger on why, but I’m a huge fan of this new Twin Peaks video for Heavy D. It’s a pretty killer track, which also features D-Sisive, Timbuktu & DJ Grouch, but this video certainly completes the package. It might be the crisp, black & white, Eraserhead-inspired visuals, or maybe it’s just(…)
Dunno about you, but I enjoy this playful, McEnroe-directed video for this classic, can-rap posse cut. And why wouldn’t I? I like all the MC’s featured here: Halifax Legend the Grand Wizard Ghettosocks, Toronto representatives Timbuktu and Muneshine, as well as Vancity’s Jeff Spec (the 4 of whom are reportedly working on a group project(…)
Ok, now this is awesome. Hopefully you’ve already had the chance to check out some of our “Deeper Into Music” posts where we ask an artist to jot down a few thoughts about each song on their latest album. They’ve gotten a really positive response so far, and I have to say I think they’ve(…)
Video Hits is back! It’s been a few weeks since we’ve hit you off with our Thursday dose of hot Canadian video content, but on the bright side, the downtime has allowed for us to amass a stack of great vids to choose from. As it turns out, a number of those videos are from(…)
