Throwback Music: Mathematik – Strive On

From the Ecology album. This is over ten years old (from 1999 to be exact) but I only heard it for the first time when I just happened to turn on ‘The Real Frequency’ radio show on Flow 93.5 for a hot second last night. FIYA!

One thing I’m bummed about sometimes is the fact that I’m not up on a lot of the hip hop from Toronto that came out while I lived in NYC from ’92-’09!

New Album: John Regan – Sorry I’m Late

The homie, John from Culture VI just sent me this stream of the Sorry I’m Late album by Baltimore MC, John Regan that came out last month a few days back. I guess he was sorry he was late! (Ba-dum dum!) Featuring guest appearances and production by Marsha Ambrosius, Nottz, Joell Ortiz, Needlz, Skyzoo Sha Stimuli, Naledge of Kidz in the Hall, 88-Keys, Ill Bill, PackFM and others, it’s got some gems on it. Check it and leave a comment to say what you think of this new MC. Have to say though: I’m kinda looking at this kid, Yuri Zwadiuk, who’s an executive producer and track producer on the album, sideways for calling himself ‘YZ’ though…

Throwback Video: Original Opening Segment from the First Ever Episode of MuchMusic’s Rap City (1989)

If you grew up loving hip hop in the 80’s and 90’s in Canada, you know this only too well. Michael Williams was kinda corny but he was all we had as far as an ongoing hip hop presence on TV so respect still due!

Not that new, but just sent to my inbox. This is very Beyonce-sounding, no?
