[MP3] D-Sisive with Wolves – The Weird One

Another solid one from the kid, D-Sisive with his local Wolves supergroup (him with Muneshine, Ghettosocks, Timbuktu and producer, Bix). Track mixed by Tim ‘Timbuktu’ Wallace from the self-titled Wolves album which you can listen to in full HERE. Big up, quality local hip-hop here in Toronto.

[Album Premiere] Different Kitchen presents This One Goes To Eleven…

Well it’s finally here: the This One Goes To Eleven… 11th Anniversary compilation album for Different Kitchen! It’s been a three to four month journey putting this project together but it came together in a really great way and I’m super happy & proud of the sound of it and how it turned out in the end.

I’ve spent 11 years doing this blog, at some points spending more time on it than others but this is one of the things in my life that I get to do that really reflects who I am, my musical & aesthetic tastes and how I see the world without regard for what is cool, will sell or drive online traffic or what I should be doing from a career or personal life point of view.

All of the artists on the album are ones I really dig, personally and I have backed that up by supporting their music and careers on the blog. I’m glad that they all came through and supported this project with their art. Props go out to The Names Are Known, King Reign & Saukrates, Keita Juma, Brendan Philip, Noah Vinson & Isis Ash, Joel. & Arthur Lewis, J.Nolan, Jai Nitai Lotus & Sam I Am Montolla, Audego, Emay, Third Mind, 416 Band and Mickey Factz.

Also a big thanks goes out to Exclaim! magazine, the top music media outlet in Canada, who came on board as a media partner and co-premiered the album on their site HERE.

Tired of streaming the album and want to play it in iTunes, on your mp3 player or go ‘old school’ and burn a CD copy for the whip? Download the entire This One Goes To Eleven… album complete with art HERE: mediafire (zip file)

[Music Video + MP3] P. Reign – Chickens Feat. Waka Flocka Flame

Y’all already know. My mom actually just came back from Guyana. It would probably break her heart to realize that the first (?) major hip-hpo video shot in Guyana was about that life. 🙁

[MP3] Spek Won Feat. Dey, Leisha Cameron, Adria Kain & Boko Maru – Good Weed Good Wine

“Rexdale to Brick Lane…” – I can relate!

“Girl From Ipanema” vibes. Can’t ever go wrong with that! This would have been a perfect track to post over the long weekend or for one of my Sunday series of soul, jazz and reggae posts but this latest joint from Toronto’s Spek Won has already been out almost three weeks so better to post sooner than later even though I vowed a long time ago that I wasn’t going to be beholden to blog time constraints and the all-new-everything treadmill that this here internets has damn near everybody running stupidly on. Good music will always have its time and find its audience regardless, just like good weed and good wine! (See what I just did there?!)

[MP3] D.O. – Old Habits Feat. D-Sisive and Aspektz

“I ain’t D.O. no more, just call me Coach Gibson!”

D.O. returns with a new single featuring D-Sisive and Aspektz and produced by longtime collaborator Jahronomo Inc. The track is the final leak from D.O.’s forthcoming mixtape “Home For The Summer” hosted by DJ IV.

I really like this track. Check it out and tell me if you do too. Also peep D.O.‘s first leak track, “Missy Elliott” from Home For The Summer previously featured on The Kitchen HERE.
