"Junior" by Madchild

"Lookin' down, colourful botanical garden/
Robotic Jabberjaw, spit mechanical jargon/
A million other rappers fill the planet with garbage/
So I have to represent cuz Mad is Canada's hardest/"

This beat sounds like somethin that could been on Apathy's Connecticut Casual. It's got a mellow bluesy vibe, but Madchild uses it to exercise his lyrical game. This track's from Madchild's upcoming EP, "Switched On" which drops on September 30. Check it!

"It Gets Better" by Madchild ft. Sophia Danai

"I'm bursting with personality, thirst for a new reality/
Lets rally up together and create a new mentality/
Watch out for the poison cuz this world is filled with mad snakes/
And I don't know for sure if it gets better, but I have faith/"

I can definitely dig this joint. It's a lil bit of a surprise to hear this sound coming from Madchild. It's a lil mellow and it's slower than what I'm used to hearing from him. The rhymes aren't even the greatest, but I can overlook that just because of the song's meaning. This song's from Madchild's upcoming album, "Lawnmower Man" which drops on August 6, 2013.

"Inception" by Swollen Members

"Barbed wire fences to guard my senses/
A dark mind's vengeance, my art might cleanse it/
You don't want it with three minds, haunted/
Little bad wolf wearing a bonnet, slightly daunted/"

Here's another music video release from Swollen Members upcoming album, "Beautiful Death Machine". As always, the video is a little different, but entertaining nonetheless. This song doesn't hit as hard as the last one they put out, but it's still pretty cool. I'm not a fan of Prevail either. I only check these Swollen Members tracks to hear Madchild. With only 11 more days till the release of the album, I woulda figured they'd make a video for a harder track, but oh well. Check it.

"Grenade Launcher" by Madchild ft. Prevail & Slaine

"These young punks, they think they're so smart/
I might be old but I'm the sickest fuckin' old fart/
I'm so much better, you could blame it on the age difference/
You got your party clothes on, I'm wearing beige slippers/"

The law of averages says they win again. As mentioned in an earlier post, Madchild's crept his way up to the top of our playlist. The 2nd track from his latest album, "Dopesick" finally has a visual. I love this song (aside from Prevail's verse), and it's sick hearing Slaine hook up with the Battle Axe frontman. Looks like they all had fun in this video, and even some fresh barber care. Enjoy this raw shit!

"Wanted" & "Dungeon Dragon" by Mad Child

"Most rap performers are just transformers/
pretend to be crazy, I pretend to be normal/
when listening to Mad they get immediately struck/
then immediately after realize he's really fucked"

So neither of these songs are brand new joints. They're both roughly a year old but I've really been bumping Mad Child alot lately after years of not paying too much attention to him. He's awesome and the people I mention him to don't even know anything about him and he's a big Canadian name. I just wanted to make sure to feature him on the blog with some of this sick shit before he makes any more crazy new stuff. He's kind of lost his marbles a little bit but he's hilarious. He can also get dark and serious too and he always brings a huge vocabulary. I just wanted to show two sides of him so you get the first track to understand the dude on a real level and the second track to just see that crazy emcee shit with a jokes video. ROW ROW!
 

"Trust me I'm a Hi-Fi, Sci-Fi project/

but I'm a white boy so I drive by projects/

I'm a king call me Maharabi/

but I'm a kamikaze in a trench coat sittin in your lobby"

"King of Diamonds" by Swollen Members

"I'll kill these kids like an abortion, then go sport fishing/
You best abort mission, or you'll need a mortician/
I'm a warped magician, got a heart condition/
But once I start militia'n, you'll be in a hard position/"

Ye yea. Here's some dope Canadian hip-hop for y'all. Swollen Members have been around for a while, and have progressed quite a bit since then. This song from their upcoming album, "Beautiful Death Machine" has that sick boom-bap feel to it. The three man threat comes together to make a sick example of what's yet to come for their tenth album. Check it.
