[Video] Pioneering Female VP Candidate Geraldine Ferraro Dies at 75
“The first woman to run for U.S. vice president on a major party ticket has died. Geraldine Ferraro was 75.”
With all due respect though, let’s remember Shirley Chisholm too.
[MP3] Emay – Incorruptible (FreEP)
Been supporting this super-dope Hamilton-based underground MC for a minute now. Just not understanding why more other so-called Canadian and ‘real’ hip-hop blogs aren’t also??

[MP3] Phat Tony & Theo 3 – The 2 Week EP (FreEP)
I’ll let the official plug speak for itself and add only that Theo 3 was repsonsible for one of my favorite hip hop songs of last year, “How I Flow Pt. 2” feat. Tona & Andreena Mill so you should probably just play this on the strength:
“Toronto Hip Hop heavyweight Theo3 (DJ Eclipse’s 2010 Sleeper song of the year “It’s Theo 3”) and much sought after producer, Phat Tony created the eclectic and richly textured “2 Week EP” during 14 days in December. Phat Tony constructed a living, breathing musical landscape while Emcee Theo 3 slid in the upstairs studio everyday after work as Coordinator of the newly opened Parkdale Youth Space in downtown west Toronto. The result is a descriptive and genre blending menu of social awareness, tongue in cheek braggadocio and topical rhymes laid out over an eye popping array of soulful musical productions. The deft mixing touch of legendary Toronto DJ and producer Scam of Time Bandits music gives the whole “2 Week EP” a new dimension of fullness and Universal appeal.
2 weeks to create, 2 weeks to mix and 2 weeks from the Beatz to the Streetz graduate showcase on January 25th 2011, Phat Tony & Theo3 release “the 2 week EP” with the goal of raising $1500 for Toronto youth program Beatz to da Streetz. Purchase it now at yungsanta.bandcamp.com for $3 and up!
Beatz to da Streetz is a youth-led arts program that aims to provide a safe and supportive space for youth ages 16-24. The program leverages the powerful connection between young people and music to promote opportunities for creative expression and self-discovery, building life skills opening access to professional mentorship, education and income generation for marginalized youth ages 16-24. The program reintegrates youth with their communities and gives supports for achieving long-term livelihood development.”
