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…

25@25: The Top 25 Most Influential Albums On My Life
A few months ago I saw something very similar to this going around Facebook, where people would post their top twelve albums that have stuck with them through the years. I posted my own list, but I wanted to go deeper and longer (pause) just for fun for my 25th birthday. So here are 25 albums…
Concert Review: Hopsin at the Kool Haus in Toronto
Hopsin is one of the better rappers to come out in the past five years. He’s been able to grow his fan base with his critically acclaimed 2010 album, Raw, his “Ill Mind Of Hopsin” Youtube series (with over 37 million views on Part 5), and most recently, his new Knock Madness album. He’s been…

My #30 Favourite Album of 2013: U-God – Keynote Speaker
*Click here to go back to the beginning of the countdown* U-God is often considered by many to be the Ringo Starr of the Wu-Tang Clan, usually playing a supporting role for the legendary group, and not having as much of an impact with his solo albums as his fellow Clan members. I think he…
Concert Review: Wu-Tang Clan at the Kool Haus in Toronto
There’s so much I could write about the Wu-Tang Clan; they became my all-time favourite hip-hop group when I started studying the history of rap music as a teenager, as I was too young to witness its beginnings first hand. Ever since 1993, not one year has gone by where Wu-Tang hasn’t put out an…
