River Mouth is an annual Hip-Hop showcase put on by 40oz Heroes that brings together local artists from Mississauga and around the GTA. Starting off as a simple live cypher in 2023, the program has evolved to include artist and songwriter workshops, competitions for cash prizes, and headlining performances by local legends. Putting the art…
Concert Review: Logic & G-Eazy at RBC Amphitheatre in Toronto (2026.09.27)
It’s been a while since Toronto has gotten to see Logic perform live in concert. The last time I reviewed one of his concerts back in 2017, Logic was a relatively new artist on just his third album, still considered a rising star. He went on to continue topping the charts with Def Jam and…
Concert Review: Jeru The Damaja at Parkdale Hall in Toronto (2026.09.25)
An emcee who consistently represents that authentic, old-school Hip-Hop, Jeru The Damaja is back on tour in North America. Originally representing Brooklyn, New York but since relocating to Germany, it may be rare to see the veteran perform live these days, but it’s always a good time for anyone who appreciates classic Hip-Hop. Jeru The…
Concert Review: Wu-Tang Clan at RBC Amphitheatre in Toronto (2026.09.08)
When the Wu-Tang Clan performed at Scotiabank Arena last year on their Final Chamber Tour, meant to be one last farewell tour as a fully united group, we thought it would be the last time we’d see them in Toronto. It turns out that the saga indeed continues. I wrote in my original concert review…
Concert Review: Lupe Fiasco at The CNE Bandshell in Toronto (2026.08.21)
It’s an annual tradition for the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) to take over Toronto’s Exhibition Place during the last weeks of summer, filling the streets with plenty of rides, carnival games and other family-friendly attractions, and they’ve stepped things up in the music department to celebrate their 90th anniversary. Collaborating with North By Northeast (NXNE),…
Concert Review: J. Cole at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto (2026.07.27)
The Fall-Off season is upon us! After years of waiting, fans finally got to experience what J. Cole has teased for years as his final album, releasing The Fall-Off in early 2026, and now in July embarking on what could be his last world tour. The album feels like a complete and fitting send-off for…
Concert Review: DJ Jazzy Jeff & More at Bastid’s BBQ in Toronto (2026.07.25)
After three straight years of bringing one of Toronto’s dopest annual Hip-Hop events to The Bentway, the 2026 edition of the Bastid’s BBQ music festival relocated to the newly renovated Harbourfront Centre. Over its decade-plus of existence, the festival has been held at many different venues over the years, but the vibes have remained the…
Concert Review: Nelly at OLG Stage in Niagara Falls, ON (2026.07.18)
A relatively new concert venue, the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino has given both locals and tourists alike a fresh reason to visit Niagara Falls. After being ranked by Billboard as the #1 concert venue in Canada and Top 10 worldwide for venues with a 2,501 to 5,000 person capacity in 2025, its now made…
Concert Review: Digable Planets at The Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto (2026.07.10)
Summertime in Toronto is in full effect and The Phoenix Concert Theatre is bringing some of the best of Hip-Hop’s old school to its stage this season! In a series of concerts that will see Souls of Mischief perform later in July and Tha Alkaholiks hit the stage in August, The Phoenix would be kicking…
Concert Review: JD Era at The Rec Room Square One in Mississauga, ON (2026.06.06)
The last time I reviewed a concert at The Rec Room Square One, it was a celebration of Toronto excellence in both music and sports, as the Raptors won the 2019 NBA Eastern Conference Championship on the same night Choclair was celebrating 20 years since releasing his debut album. This time around, we’d be celebrating…
Concert Review: Bruno Mars at Rogers Stadium in Toronto (2026.05.31)
Let me preface this by saying I don’t feel like I can represent Bruno Mars’ core fanbase in this review. As a Hip-Hop head, most of the concerts I review on this blog are underground rap shows where I’ve either been following the artist for most of their career, or I have at least lived…
Concert Review: Hieroglyphics at The Opera House in Toronto (2026.03.18)
Back in 2023, we caught Souls of Mischief on their 30th Anniversary Tour, where they rocked two sold-out shows at Adelaide Hall in Toronto as they celebrated 30 years since releasing 93 ‘Til Infinity. It was at those shows that they hinted at one day returning with the rest of the Hieroglyphics crew, and now…
