Some footage courtesy of TOFLO from the Clipse/Rich Kidd show on the weekend. I’ll let Ro’Shine tell it:
This past Sunday, Rich Kidd’s skills and charisma were on full display as he opened up the show for Clipse. Assisted by a 2 piece band (keyboard & drums), backup singers and top DJ Wristpect, Rich Kidd solidified himself on stage as one of the best new artist to look out for in 2010. After Rich Kidd threw down, Pusha T & Malice of Clipse hit the stage and proceeded to run through some of their various hits from their first album up to their latest, Til the Casket Drops.
Page is going hard right now with the viral videos. Here’s some new visuals for a new joint called “Real Rap” produced by Neenyo. Get the MP3 below. Via TRF!
Redway returns with a little taste of what to expect from his upcoming EP New Day, Same Wings. Nice joint. Looks like he’s gotta step his pool game up though (lol). If you’re not familiar with Redway, peep the links below and check out “Pick Me Up” and “Fly With A Star” (both pre-Cityonmyback days).
Via 2DBz! Toronto-bred producer Marco Polo has linked with Ruste Juxx for the album The eXXecution due out on Duck Down Records on March 23rd. Between now and then, they’ve decided to put out a viral video every day featuring a different verse to promote the project. Sounds good to me!
New joint/video from Mojo Records/URBNET recording artist Miles Jones. Produced by the legendary Mr. Attic from Da Grassroots! MP3 below or you can find it on his album Runaway Jones which is available on iTunes now and features appearances by Shad, Classified and production fro Black Milk. Here’s some more info on Miles:
Miles Jones is a rising star in the Toronto hip-hop scene, but for those who know him best this does not come as a surprise. Bass runs through Jones’ veins. His grandfather helped pioneer the reggae movement at Studio One in Jamaica where Bob Marley and many others recorded their first big hits, while his father Hedley Jones aka Deadly Hedley Jones Jr. was an influential DJ on CFNY-FM and the early Toronto club scene.
Miles continues this tradition by being active in all aspects of music as a DJ, producer, emcee, songwriter and the owner of his own label Mojo Records & Publishing. A true student of the craft, Jones’ debut album One Chance also served as his thesis at McMaster University. The disc was released to critical acclaim and even helped garner Jones the 2007 Ontario Independent Music Award for Hip Hop Artist of the Year. Miles has also been recognized for his song writing talents. He helped contribute 11 songs to Sony BMG’s music catalogue as part of the Canadian Idol songwriters conference.
The future is bright for this young emcee, Miles a man of great drive and passion has taken responsibility for his own destiny, funding and executive producing his new album Runaway Jones. Miles had the chance to work with some of his childhood icons as well of some of today’s rising stars, including the first single Never Too Late that was produced by Detroit’s Black Milk.
Here’s the trailer for the “I Wanna Know Your Name” remix produced by Supervice. Original joint is from Famous’ Goddess Girl project produced by Burd & Keyz. Video drops next week!
