"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!

"Hold On" by Komodo



"Stuck with work that I could do in my sleep/
Livin' 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/"

This track was released yesterday by Komodo, a Canadian artist from our hometown. Haven't heard much about him yet, but this song's alright. Check this one out, and if you dig it, click here to listen to more of his music. Peace..

"Currents" by String Theory [Music Video]



"The lion that not even Noah could lift up/
Got an aura like Jehovah from scriptures/
Paranoia gon rip ya, ??? before this flow'll come get ya/
Raps tighter than the boa constrictor/"


Here's a dope joint from 1/2 of the Epidemic crew. First time hearing a solo joint from this dude, and it's a sick one. I really like how the beat, scratching and the video shots merged together. Sorta seems like it's a feel that Epidemic has mastered together. Not to mention the insane multisyllable talent. 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.

"It's Cold" by The Palmer Squares ft. Street Light [Music Video]



"Cuz I'm cold, Colder than a Heineken/
Colder than a polar bear soaked in liquid nitrogen/
Something like a tray of ice cubes/
Play nice or you'll pay the price fool!/"

I think I'm a little late, but that doesn't change the fact that this is dope. And it's probably more relevant today than the day it was released, cuz it's cold as fuck outside. The Palmer Squares dropped this video last month, for track number 2 off their latest album, "Finna". It features another upcoming YouTube rapper, Street Light, and they all kill it. The video's a lil weird, but that's the Palmer Squares for ya. Check it!

"Questions" by Tech N9ne (David Pastorius Remix)



I apologize for the absence of posts lately. Not much has been catching my attention in the hip-hop world for the past few weeks, not to mention the hustle involved with all of the holiday celebrations. But it's a new year so hopefully more releases hit the scene and I can share some shit with ya to make 2014 interesting! But for now I found this video of David Pastorius playing bass over the song "Questions" by Tech N9ne. As a fan of heavy metal/hard rock, and the instruments used to make it, I think this shit is fucking amazing. Check it!
