We premiered their last single, “Lookin’ Like” featuring Filli Babii on the blog a while back. Now here go the excellent new single by one of our current faves here at the Kitchen, Toronto’s own OSIYM.
Toronto hip-hop stalwart, Mindbender Supreme drops the single, “Welcome To CyberTron” from his upcoming album, New Colors. New Dimensions. New Values. Download it on Bandcamp HERE.
Toronto artist, WolF J McFarlane used to be a favorite of ours back in the very early days of the Kitchen. Been a while so we checked in on him but we’re happy to learn he’s back on the music grind.
Another new track from Brampton’s finest, Jessie Reyez. On tour this summer, new EP coming this Fall, yes!

“Damn it feels good to be back
Damn it feels good to be black
They keep on killing us
We just keep killing it…”
For his new album, polymath emcee Shad has vibrantly imagined and created an entirely new world. A Short Story About A War releases October 26 on Secret City Records. This concept album holds a mirror to our world – a provocative story told through disarmingly catchy songs that weaves through issues of migration, environment, politics and above all, the human spirit.
The album was created in collaboration with dozens of musicians and engineers: From luminaries like Kaytranada, 2oolman of A Tribe Called Red, and Lido Pimienta, to crafty indie rockers Yukon Blonde, and Toronto rap veterans Ian Kamau, Eternia, and DJ T Lo. Their contributions bring multiple textures and colours to Shad’s singular vision.
He’s been busy over the past few years with a stint hosting the preeminent Canadian radio talk show and an Emmy/Peabody-award winning documentary series, so welcome back (to rapping), Shad!!!
