Toronto jazz band BADBADNOTGOOD have been killing stages around the world for years, and they’re back at it with a 2018 world tour, performing throughout Canada this spring before heading out to Europe in the summer. They’ve been building a bigger buzz each year since their online presence went viral in 2011, releasing critically acclaimed…

Concert Review: Jay Electronica at The Danforth Music Hall in Toronto
For more than a decade, there’s been a shroud of mystery surrounding Jay Electronica. Having first rose to fame within Hip-Hop circles in the mid-late 2000’s, he’s since seen his praise diminish over the years, with an extremely minimal and rare output of music. While he’s never put out a wack track or spit a…
Concert Review: Papa Roach at Canadian Music Week (via CulturedVultures)
It’s been a long time since the last concert review on this blog, but we’re finally back! Thanks to our friends at CulturedVultures.com, I was able to secure a media pass to Canadian Music Week, and was planning on making that my big comeback with four shows planned during the festival. It started off well,…
Concert Review: Run The Jewels – Run The World Tour at The Danforth Music Hall in Toronto
Coming off of what I’m now comfortable calling the best rap album of this decade with RTJ2, Run The Jewels have returned with another very, very, very great album with RTJ3, which they themselves leaked early this past Christmas. A lot of fans are even calling the new album their best work, although it’s only…
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. After waiting a couple years since the previous release, fans finally had new music from Hop, which meant more material to perform on his world tours. The…
The Top 10 Concerts I Attended in 2015
Our second full calendar year being active was a fun one! We’ve gained a lot of recognition in Toronto’s local Hip-Hop scene, made great connections, and most importantly covered a lot of concerts this year (one more than last year!). I want to thank all the promoters and local artists who made it easier for me…
Concert Review: K-OS at The Danforth Music Hall in Toronto, ON
It’s been a while since Toronto has seen or heard anything from one of its hometown legends: the multitalented, genre-blending vocalist/MC, k-os. The last (and only time) I saw k-os perform live was at the 2013 Luminato Festival, where he opened for Serena Ryder and DJ Kid Koala. He had a new album out at…
The Top 5 Rap Concerts In The GTA To Look Forward To This Summer (+ FREE Giveaway!)
July was a fun time in Toronto, as we covered concerts by ¡Mayday!, Naughty by Nature, GZA, Kanye West, and Kendrick Lamar (among others). While some may not like the summer heat, many are looking for ways to enjoy themselves before the winter comes and forces us to all bundle up. I’ve put together a top…
The Top 10 Concerts I Attended in 2014
I’d like to thank everyone who’s supported this blog and anyone who has ever read any of my articles! This is the first full calendar year I’ve had SYpherSights running, so this time I have concert reviews written for every show on the list. While I couldn’t attend every single hip-hop show in the city,…
Concert Review: Run The Jewels at The Danforth Music Hall in Toronto, ON
I told you so. Run The Jewels are back in Toronto, filling up an even bigger venue than the last time they were here (not counting the free show they had in Dundas Square during the NXNE Festival). They have released a new album that’s longer and could potentially be more successful than the first…
Concert Review: Cam’ron at the Danforth Music Hall in Toronto
Finally, Cam’ron has been able to get his business straight and cross the border to go on a Canadian tour. Starting in Montreal the previous night, Cam’ron touched down in Toronto for the first time at the Danforth Music Hall. Dubbed The First Of The Month Tour, Cam is out to promote his new series…
Concert Review: Pusha T at the Danforth Music Hall in Toronto
Just two days after Shad and Brother Ali tore the house down, Pusha T came to the same venue to promote his debut solo album, My Name Is My Name. This was my first time seeing him perform, as I never even saw him back when he was making music with The Clipse. I pretty much…
