MORE TORONTO VIDEO ROUND-UP PART 3 – TONA AND KARDINAL OFFISHALL

Normally on Wednesday’s I do a video spotlight on one artist.This week I’m doing all Toronto video round-up leading up to this Friday’s More Toronto party, so I decided to spotlight two artists. First one doesn’t need much introduction in Toronto, it’s Kardinal Offishall. I’ve been a Kardi fan from the time I saw “On Wit Da Show”. Kardi is one of Toronto’s hip hop ambassadors that has always put it down for the city. The second is none other than Tona, Friday’s More party is also the release party for his highly anticipated new mixtape Reform School. I’ve known Tona for years and he is one of Toronto’s greats. Check out some of my favorite videos from two of Toronto’s Finest.

This couldn’t wait for Trailer Round-Up. Just watch it.

Thank you Marvel for the great Birthday present. Right now Avengers is looking like the top dog for summer. Unless The Dark Knight brings a crazy trailer real soon.

MORE TORONTO VIDEO ROUND-UP PART 2: CLASSIC VIDEOS

More Toronto is on it’s way and today for part 2 of the video round-up, I decided to go back to some of my favorite Toronto classics. This is the stuff I used to see on Much on a regular basis and rap along too. Watching them brought back some great memories. Sit back and enjoy.

TUESDAY MIXTAPE ROUND UP: DJ MENSA & DJ ROYALE, BIG JACKS AND LEO37

The Round-Up is back, I really shouldn’t call it a mixtape round-up anymore because it isn’t all mixtapes. Either way it’s some good music for you to bump this week. Big Jacks finally released his Daylight mix which you can hear anytime you check out an Aritzia store across North America. Now you can take the mix with you anywhere. Now if you have plans to party this weekend and you need that perfect mix to get you in the mood, I suggest downloading DJ Royale and DJ Mensa’s Steppin Out Vol 2. It’s packed with classic R&B hits and remixes. Honestly you can just throw this on and stay in and party. Finally my good friend Leo37 dropped his new EP Fanfare.

BIG JACKS – DAYLIGHT

LEO37 – FANFARE

DJ MENSA & DJ ROYALE – STEPPIN OUT VOL 2
