[ALBUM PREMIERE] DIFFERENT KITCHEN presents QUINCEAÑERA: MARVELOUS ISH
Official press announcement:
Long-running, acclaimed Toronto music site, DIFFERENT KITCHEN officially announces the release of its new compilation album project, QUINCEAÑERA: MARVELOUS ISH to celebrate its 15th anniversary today (SEPTEMBER 7) .
QUINCEAÑERA, a 15-track multi-genre collection of all new and unreleased music (some on an exclusive basis), will be released as a promo-only album on the Soundcloud platform and will be co-premiered by Canada’s leading music destination, Exclaim! magazine.
The album was preceded by the release of three singles by buzzing Toronto hip-hop duo, OSIYM, Montreal rapper, NATE HUSSER of the acclaimed group, THE POSTERZ and up-and-coming funk, pop, rock ‘n’ soul Brooklyn-based singer, YELLOW SHOOTS. Other notable names on the album include SNOOP DOGG doing the hook on a track by MATT FINGAZ, CHRIS RIVERS (son of legendary MC, BIG PUN) and KUNIVA of D12 and top Toronto DJ, DJ NANA doing an afro-house inspired track with vocals by T.dot hip-hop OG, SAUKRATES.
Speaking about the Quinceañera project, DIFFERENT KITCHEN founder, IAN STEAMAN said, “After the success of our 11th anniversary compilation, THIS ONE GOES TO ELEVEN… it only made sense to do another one around this important milestone. But only if we could do it bigger and better and I think we’ve succeeded in doing that. We’ve got everything from hottest up-and-coming talent right from here in Canada to legendary veterans and artists who’ve been the best ever at their craft all together on one record. Great music can come from anywhere and that’s always been the mission of the blog from jump: to always celebrate and champion it, to the very best of our ability.”
But enough chit-chat: JUST HIT PLAY AND ENJOY!!!

[MP3 Premiere] Nate Husser – Duck Hunt
Here it is: the third pre-release single from the Quinceañera: Marvelous Ish 15th anniversary compilation album (yes, that’s the art above, figured we could let it out now that the album is finally coming out TODAY!)
Nate Husser, one third of the acclaimed Montreal hip-hop group, The Posterz, is one of our absolute faves here at the Kitchen. If you ain’t know, get familiar with one of the best, most talented and most creative hip-hop artists, not only in Canada, but anywhere, period as his “Can’t Blame ‘Em” ably demonstrates for those not already up on game.
After you enjoy this little heat rock in preparation for the full Quinceañera onslaught later today, go back and enjoy his absolutely incredible Geto Rock For the Youth release or hit the jump for his latest relese (before this new exclusive single from our DK15 comp, that is), the 3-track minus 23 EP. Not enough? Go check out the excellent live session he did for CBC Music around the Geto Rock release that I was instrumental in setting up at the day hustle.
Shout to Exclaim! for premiering “Duck Hunt” yesterday on their site. We were obviosuly supposed to be co-premiering it but sh*t has been so crazy getting this comp ready for release later today (we’re shooting for 12:15pm) that we couldn’t even get to it! In the immortal words of Hov, “You need more poeple….”
