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…

The Top 10 Concerts I Attended in 2016
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. I have to thank all the media teams and organizers who granted me access – I had more media passes this year than any…
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…
Concert Review: BADBADNOTGOOD & Ghostface Killah at The Opera House in Toronto
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…

*Click here to go back to the beginning of the countdown* *Click here to go back to #15* The album meant to celebrate the Wu-Tang Clan’s 20th anniversary has finally come out a year after they wanted it to. A Better Tomorrow had a lot of weight on its shoulders, as the Clan had to…
Concert Review: Ghostface Killah at Rockpile East in Toronto/Scarborough, ON
Only a year after Ghostface Killah tore down the Kool Haus with five other Wu-Tang Clan members, he has returned to Toronto for a solo show. Ghostface is the one artist I’ve seen the most in concert, as I’ve seen him perform in all kinds of settings over the past five years. I’ve seen the…
Concert Review: The LOX at The Sound Academy in Toronto
Sheek Louch, Jadakiss and Styles P have each been to Toronto many times before, but this was surprisingly their first time performing here as a group. I had previously seen Sheek Louch perform in this same building a little over a year ago when he was on the Wu-Block tour with Ghostface Killah, but it…
