Music Video: "Hold On" by Komodo [prod. by TheCratez]



"Stuck with work that I could do in my sleep/
Living like this isn't what I view as a dream/
So is life a nightmare from which mutiny streams?/
People tellin' me what to do but I refuse it with glee/"


The homie Komodo just dropped his latest set of visuals from his recent project, "The Beast Within". In this video, Komodo takes you through a typical workday while using his lyrics to vent his thoughts about it. Anyone who thinks there's more to life than working a 9-5 should be able to relate to this! Check it.

"Fuck Em" by JD Era



"Too many switch-siders, dick riders/
Rap liars, information providers/
Probly wearing wires, hate violence, love sirens/
You police speed dialers/"

Not usually a fan of this kinda music but I thought this song was pretty good. Canadian Ice H20 artist, JD Era posted this track to his SoundCloud a couple of days ago to get one simple message out there. "They ain't fuckin with us then fuck em!".

"Mental" by Madchild ft. Demrick [Music Video]



"Involuntarily solitary confinement/
No one to confide in, quiet in my environment/
Mentally I'm way off balance and off kilter/
Brain's way out of whack that's why I rap without a filter/"

Madchild recently introduced Philly native, Demrick into his Battle Axe Warrior family. This track sets the tone for the beginning of their partnership, and it sets it off with a bang. C-Lance produced this beat which is a perfect fit for Madchild's style and Demrick adapts flawlessly. This one's a banger... Check it!

"Left Home, Write Home" by Ngajuana



"You could say that his genesis, started with being senseless/
Evolved into being censor-less through passion and relentlessness/
Resulting in the birth of a rapper, who through his pen it lives/
Sitting at the bed of hip-hop with straight attentiveness/"

More dope Canadian shit for ya. This track's from London, Ontario's own, Ngajuana. This one's got some rural funk to it, and NGA kills it as usual. I really dig the chorus with that acoustic beat. Check it!

"Human" by emoceans.




"Cuz it's 4am and I'm drunk, like what the fuck am I doing?/ 
I'm tryna get more fucked up to the point that I am spewing/ 
I smoke one and I sit down and start thinking the truth is truant/ 
Then I'm like fuck it, all I know is we're all human/"

New shit from emoceans. This guy's always gotta strange, trippy sound that I don't hear too much of. Definitely a unique sound that suits him and he kills it. Here's some dope shit from my city for yall!

"I'm A G-style" by Komodo



"So stay off my long john, your top songs are awful/
Betray all you soft frauds, get lost, y'all can rot slow/
I recall when Mama she talked lots of gospel/
But I can't recall how many tops I've popped off the bottle/"

New shit from Kitchener artist, Komodo. This one's gotta raw, straight hip-hop feel to it. It's a 2 minute freeverse over the "I'm A G" by Reef the Lost Cauze instrumental. Seems like something to keep people eager to hear his upcoming project, "The Beast Within" which drops on Halloween. Check it.

"The Beast Within" by Komodo [Music Video]



"This mind's a machine, it's a mind of it's own/
Sometimes I question whether or not I'm in control/
So many chemicals within it collide and impose/
It's own reaction, I'm slowly grasping it's different modes/"


New visuals from an artist from my city (Kitchener, Ontario). Komodo just dropped this video for his upcoming project, "The Beast Within" which drops on Halloween. Check it.

"1 Hit Wonder" by Mike Boyd [Music Video]



"They say sex sells, and maybe that's fact/
Look at that rump shakin', baby got back/
It's unbelievable/
Got me wondering what's underneath ya clothes/"


Here's a set of visuals for one of the cuts from Mike Boyd's project, "Note the Sarcasm". The playful nature of the video suits the song perfectly. I think Mike Boyd deserves a lot more credit than he receives so please check this dope Canadian shit!

"Moving Along" by Merkules [Music Video]



"Fuck a strategy, I gradually have to be/
Who I am, you ain't them you an actual masterpiece/
I don't rap for the cash, I'd rather get back to my family/
Make my grandparents happy and have em travel the map with me/"


Here's some raw Canadian shit for ya. Merkules is a beast, even on his less hype tracks. This is one of them but he has some pretty sick rhymes in both verses. Check it!

106 & Park Backroom Freestyle by Shad [Video]



"I don't really get Reddit, I don't really get credit/
Not like respect, like actually, I don't really get credit/
I don't got a credit card, that's good, no debts, yet at/
times I go to pay and they say oh, we don't accept debit/
Don't accept cash, see they make us have to get in debt it/
Makes me wanna talk Illuminati on my next record/"


It's pretty cool to see somebody from Ontario kick a freestyle on 106 & Park. Shad holds it down and makes us look good with this dope verse atop a grimy breakbeat. His wordplay is phenomenal, check it.

"Showtime" by Ngajuana (prod. by PnT WorldWyde)


"So forever I endeavor, go hard/
Trying to teach those who taught, who said I'd never go far/
You can weather those odds and you're never wrote off/
Once you truly go hard, you can never go soft/"

A while back we shared music from London, Ontario emcee, Ngajuana. It's been a while since I personally checked up on his music, so this may be a little late from the release date. But that doesn't change the fact that this is a good song. This one's really powerful, and sorta switches the mood of the song between the verses and choruses. Check it!

"God Mode" by Wolves [Music Video]



"Easy on the eyes, on the ears it's a bomb attack/
Flames to the bridge, let em burn, see em holla back/
???? take a toll on your team shit/
Fuck ya little beats, reach at Bix for the remix/"


Also heard this track on The Consignment Show last night. Wolves is a combination of Muneshine, Ghettosocks, Timbuktu, D-Sisive and Bix Beats. I really like how they approached making this track, and the video is just as entertaining. Check it.

"Life & Death" by First Division



"Bite what I'm bussin', guess it's dinner time at this junction/
Been writing since lunch, now this kit is mine for consumption/
The titles we're clutchin, and what we came to defend/
So I advise you look up to the sun and pray for the end/"

Heard these dudes last night on London's 'The Consignment Show'. Never heard of that show until last night, but it's actually pretty dope for displaying Canadian talent. These guys stuck out to me because of the rhymes, heavy beat, and the cuts sound dope as fuck too. Hope to hear more shit from these dudes. Check it!

"Way Out" by Merkules



"You can see the sweat drip, I'm falling apart/
This is life, it isn't right, this shit's no walk in the park/
It's like they caught me, then they threw me in the water with sharks/
Cuz they keep looking past the fact that this is positive art/"


Here's a new joint from British Columbia artist, Merkules. It's only 2 verses but the Stu Bangas produced beat along with the deep lyrics make this song awesome. I swear, if you're sleeping on Canadian hip-hop you need to wake the fuck up! Check it.
