Review: RZA – Live From The 36th Chamber at The Royal Theatre in Toronto
Just one month after the Wu-Tang Clan (minus Method Man) performed in Kitchener on their 25th Anniversary Tour, their leader, RZA, has returned to Toronto with a very special show.

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).

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!).

Concert Review: Wu-Tang Clan, Atmosphere & Tyler, The Creator at Riot Fest Toronto
It’s been a few years since I’ve been to a large, multi-stage festival like Riot Fest. Unlike the old Rock The Bells festivals I used to go to, the Riot Fest had a mix of multiple genres, which meant that it was much easier to plan my day with fewer artists I was familiar with/interested…
