Creative REbels, ShaQ and Tray both innovative workers back at it again with another banger. With their hot new release of, “Trillium” (Prod. By Ysc Roll) they continue to express the essence of their well-known Toronto hip-hop collective, CReW. ShaQ hopes to build the same kind of buzz that his fellow artists have been cultivating, while helping CReW expand to new heights with his own unique sound.
Check out more CReW music from ShaQ on his soundcloud (https://soundcloud.com/shaq-provo) and expect to hear more from this upcoming Toronto, Ontario rapper this summer 2013.
The track ‘Clayco’ is a public service announcement and Derek Wise’s new introduction; brought to life by hard hitting lyrics, a menacing bass line and chopped and screwed instrumentation by Lil Ugly Mane. The 20-year old Toronto rapper implicitly and explicitly lays out the recipe for his persona, but more importantly, he makes it clear that he’s a voice to be heard. Derek Wise new free album, Mom’s Basement is set to drop late summer 2013. It will be a combination of a whole new wave crafted by the rapper himself. Hard knocking, stellar hip-hop production with a new sound that showcases Wise’s clever wordplay and witty lyrics that displays he can be mentioned with the best of them. Mom’s Basement is a crowning balance of experience, tunnel vision, raw talent and a triumph of immaculate taste.
Probably the strongest song / video yet from N-Rimes. Follow the progression. J-Jera with the assist. Possibly first rap video with a Terry Fox cameo too. That’s real!
This promo video is for Geek’s first single “I Didn’t Ask” from his up coming 3 track compilation cd entitled “Relationship: Angels & Demons”. The video was shot by G-Dot which also features actual shots from the “I Didn’t Ask” music video shot and directed by Chris Wong.
Powerful impact on dis track!! All the MCs shine individually on their own as they trade flows on this classic posse cut. NewBreedMC and UNO go back and forth on verses followed by cuts provided by none other than Relic. Last but never least Louwop comes in to finish it in true Microphinist form. A heavy example of what raw MCs can do with their voice box
Voice Box UNO ft. NewBreedMC, and Louwop The Dirty General Cuts by Relic a.k.a REL McCoy Produced by Dub Poets Collective (c) 2012 Handmade Music
