From Montreal-based MC and #DK11 alum, Jai Nitai Lotus, a lttle holiday-themed music:
My people,
I was asked by George Stromboulopoulos if I wanted to produce a song for his holiday show on CBC radio 2 (The Strombo Show). After feeling conflicted I ended up making this song “Greetings of Peace” talking about real issues (first nations water, imprisonment, etc) in spirit of holidays and peace. He really loved it and aired it on the 20th as part of his special. But now it’s open for the world to hear. I attached it below. It’s about challenging the listener which I feel is very important as artist.
Much love!

Check out an audio stream of Karma & Lotus‘s The Honest Truth (2003-2008) album on the DK Tumblr Page.
We here at The Kitchen were big fans of underground Toronto MC, Matthew Progress‘ excellent Night.Rhetoric Mixtape EP and featured a couple of songs from it here on the blog in September of last year. Here goes some new music from him complete with a ‘Belly-inspired’ video.
Different sound with BIG drums for Alchemist on this one, plus autotune! That might have a few purists’ panties in a bunch, I’m betting….
Newest track from Canadian/Native American electronic crew, A Tribe Called Red. Solid!
