" On The Road Again "
Since I'm heading to the beautiful city of Vancouver, British Columbia next week, it's only fitting that I pull out some material from those dudes up north....
Back in the 80's the first Hip Hop shit I heard from Canada was Fresh Wes, Dream Warriors, and Michee Mee.......Over the years groups like "Down To Earth", "Checkmate", "Saukrates", and "Black Eye" have impressed me with their approach to the artform....Matter of fact Black Eye (R.I.P.) had a couple songs from the 90's era that still remain in my rotation to this day....
For some reason most cats in the States are oblivious to what is going on up there.....Believe me, there is more going on than that cornball Drake/ Drizzy or whatever the fuck he calls himself.......When I was there last year I couldn't believe how many record stores, sneaker boutiques, and clubs they had downtown.....So I'm headed back for another round of Hip Hop holiday activities.....
I noticed that I have quite a few Canadian cats peeping the BATTLEFIELD......If you know of some things poppin off between June 22-27th, let me know what's happening....
Anyway, scoop up this mix by Filthy Rich (Norther Touch).......Nice selections, blends, etc....
