It’s a blessing to even be able to write this kind of article, with this being possible for the first time since 2019. After only having a handful of concerts being able to take place in each of 2020 and 2021, we’ve finally had a meaningful, long-lasting return of live music in 2022 with COVID-19…

It’s a new chapter in the lengthy career of Tech N9ne and his record label Strange Music Inc.

Concert Review: BADBADNOTGOOD at the Danforth Music Hall in Toronto (2018/03/31)
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.

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.

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…
