Concert Review: Hopsin at The Danforth Music Hall in Toronto

It’s been an interesting past twelve months for Hopsin fans.  Last summer Hopsin delivered another great album with Pound Syndrome, his third release on his Funk Volume label.

Concert Review: K-OS at The Danforth Music Hall in Toronto, ON

Concert Review: Tech N9ne – The Special Effects Tour in Toronto, ON

Within a week of being exactly one year since his last show in Toronto, Tech N9ne has returned on yet another tour.  This would be my third consecutive year catching him live, as Tech N9ne has consistently released new music to allow him to constantly alter his set lists every time he tours.  Tech seems…
