It’s been an awesome 5+ years running this blog and reviewing as many concerts as I can possibly go to. I’m celebrating my 30th birthday this week, and it’s been over a decade since I went to my first rap concert and fell in love with live Hip-Hop shows, and that feeling of seeing one…

Top 30 Hip-Hop Albums of 2018: #30-21
2018 may go down as the best year of the 2010s for Hip-Hop releases. It’s been a year to be known for the sheer volume of great albums, with so many dropping that it’s been a challenge keeping up. While it’s great to see the culture thriving with so many artists putting out new music,…
Concert Review: Wu-Tang Clan at Rebel Nightclub in Toronto
Just two months after performing in Kitchener on what was to be the only stop in Ontario for their 25th Anniversary Tour, The Wu-Tang Clan have returned, this time performing in Toronto itself. Their return comes after the roster wasn’t complete for the Kitchener show, as Method Man had to catch a last-minute flight…
Concert Review: Wu-Tang Clan at Bingemans On The Grand in Kitchener, ON
The legendary Wu-Tang Clan has reunited once again for their 25th Anniversary Tour, celebrating the 25 years since they released one of Hip-Hop’s most iconic masterpieces, Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). It’s been 25 years of consistent musical output from one of Hip-Hop’s greatest groups, as not one year has gone by since where they haven’t…

Another year, another top ten! Our third full calendar year saw more connections made, more recognition received, and while fewer concerts were covered than previous years, the shows covered were bigger.

Concert Review: Schoolboy Q & Ghostface Killah at NXNE Port Lands Festival
After a controversial 2015 festival, NXNE shook things up this year and launched their new Port Lands Festival this past weekend. As opposed to the previous free concerts in Dundas Square, the new festival was ticketed and at a lakeside location away from the downtown core. Going from free events to $60 – $75 tickets…
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: Raekwon at The Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto, ON
Toronto is getting a lot of love from the Wu-Tang Clan in 2015, as we’ve already had two shows from Ghostface Killah (one with BadBadNotGood and one with GZA & Cappadonna), and now get to see Raekwon the Chef. 2015 is also a big year for Raekwon, as he is set to go on tour in the U.S. with…
Concert Review: Ghostface Killah, GZA & Cappadonna at The Opera House in Toronto
We started 2015 off with Ghostface Killah and BadBadNotGood at The Opera House, and just as he told the crowd at that show, we’re right back here again to start the second quarter of the year with Ghostface at the same venue. Rather than bringing his Sour Soul collaborators BBNG, Ghost has brought some Wu-Tang Clan…

Don’t you just love it when something great happens that you didn’t plan for, and it fits perfectly with everything else going on in your life? That’s exactly what happened here, as this isn’t even one of the four shows I said I had planned in my previous blog post, but it came together at…
