Toronto’s ‘Cashman’ Decries the Violence Plauging the Local Gold Business

If you live in Toronto and have a TV you no doubt have seen the cheesy but funny ads for Russell ‘The Cashman’ Oliver’s Jewelry buying business like the classic new wave-inspired one above. Who knew the Toronto cash-for-gold industry had become riddled with violence including incidents of arson and alleged murder-for-hire plots though? Crazy!

New Music: Freedom Writers – Wake Up!

This is what music is (or could/should be) all about:

“Freedom Writers is not a group; it is a Movement. Seven of Toronto’s most talented artists have joined forces to create one of Canada’s most creative and dynamic musical endeavors to date. ”

The Freedom Writers are Frankie Payne, Theology 3, Tona, Adam Bomb, Mathematik and Progress with Production & Audio Engineering by Big Sproxx. Freedom Writers is a cool name but they should have called themselves The Group of Seven. They’re Canadian and artists so they’ll get the reference….

Don’t know too much about this cat but he’s another T.dot spitta. Sounds cool enough, if you like your hip hop a little more throwback/traditional sounding. Check it:
