[MP3] Elaquent – The Midnight After (FULL album stream)

You’ve heard Persona already. Now check out Elaquent‘s also excellent brand new (?) album, The Midnight After. And, as mentioned earlier today, Elaquent will be at the Beat Lounge TONIGHT!

“You already know. Anybody who has checked out my 2009 release After Midnight should already understand the vibe i was going for. If you haven’t heard After Midnight, then allow me to elaborate. Midnight soul shit. Certain sounds resonate more after dark, than before dark. something about the night skies, the moon, the crickets. jazzy, smooth, vibin’ type music. As i always say, perfect is boring. Tracks are a bit lo fi and sloppy. but so is life. Take your jacket off, stay for a while. Grab your Rye and Coke. I tried to create an atmosphere that will set the mood right. Studying. Drinking. Smoking. Romance. Just do me a favor and play it at night. Shoutouts to Marv Won, Mr Brady, O-Phrap, Es, Solar-C, and Phillipe Edison for helping me realize the vision. Highest praises to the whole HW&W team. Ok. Less reading, more vibing. Enjoy.” – sona (eq)

[Video] 1 to 4 (a hip-hop documentary)

“The most important three hours for hip-hop in Toronto has always been Saturdays from 1-4 p.m. on CKLN 88.1 FM. It all began back in 1983 with The Fantastic Voyage, the first hip-hop radio shot to exist in Canada. The torch was passed to The Power Move Show, The Real Frequency then Mixtape Massacre, making this timeslot the longest-running source for hip-hop music in the country.

On Saturday, February 12, 2011, a monumental gathering took place when all four generations of radio shows came together for a single broadcast. The impact of this musical institution is captured in the short documentary, “1 to 4”.”

The above blurb really sums it up but let me just add: if you’re from Toronto and love hip-hop you should already know the significance of Saturday afternoons from 1-4pm. If you don’t though, watch this video immediately to get familiar! Props to director, Celine Wong on putting this excellent project together.
