After an extended hiatus, Toronto’s APB (formerly known as The Airplane Boys) are back with a video for their new single “Soundtrack.”  The track finds the Scarborough boys back in their pocket, Bon Voyage spitting chilled-out flows and Beck Motley singing a searing hook over a funky, spacey slice of neo-hip-hop. “This a soundtrack when your time is […]

Remember when Chuck D and Flavor Flav of Public Enemy were going back and forth over the former’s support of Bernie Sanders? Well, it was all a hoax that was somehow inspired by Orson Welles’ 1938 “The War of the Worlds” radio broadcast. Oh, and Enemy Radio, which consists of Chuck D, DJ Lord, Jahi and the S1Ws, […]

29-year-old grime star Bugzy Malone, real name Aaron Davis from Manchester, was involved in a serious motorcycle accident last night (March 24), according to reports on social media sites. Footage of the incident has been circulating online, with many slamming the people who filmed it while on the scene. Greater Manchester Police have confirmed that they were called to a […]

For everyone practicing social distancing right now, never fear: Lil Durk and G Herbo just dropped some new music. The Chicago rappers linked up for “Chiraq Demons” and Durk gives fans his voice with no autotune. “CHIRAQ DEMONS OUT NOW,” Durk tweeted Saturday at midnight. Listen to the track above or on Apple Music. Back […]

Sure, the world is currently living indoors thanks to COVID-19, but you can miss Houdini with all this social distancing stuff. When I phone the Toronto rapper on Tuesday, he’s out at a diner in BC, sitting down for breakfast, surrounded by friends, pandemic be damned. “Man, one thing about me, I’m not with the hype,” the […]

If the end of the work week had a sound, it would belong to FRIDAY NIGHT CRU. The Kingston, Jamaica-hailing rapper duo, made up of Djavan ‘KinDah’ Warner and Damani ‘Dash’ Gardner, push a refreshing and eclectic style of music to the fore that often borrows from a variety of genres, and new single “Follow My Lead” is a perfect […]

Post Malone reassured his fans that he’s doing fine after videos of him exhibiting “weird” behaviors of him tripping over himself, rolling his eyes and stumbling at his recent shows appeared on social media. The Hollywood Bleeding rapper shut down any talk that he’s on drugs at his Runaway tour at the FedExForum in Memphis, […]

Coming straight outta Toronto’s underground, 18-year-old LB Spiffy is a rising star and once again proving he’s one to watch with his latest music video “Not Lyin.” Just a few days after dropping the lyric video for the track (which we named one of the best Canadian songs of February), he’s gone all out in […]

After years working behind the scenes with the likes of Big Zuu, GreenTea Peng, and on hits like Stormzy and H.E.R’s “One Second”, Owen Cutts is stepping out on his own as Mr. Cutts. The decision to start creating music under his own name came when he made an instrumental he didn’t want to give away. […]

TMZ has learned that Three 6 Mafia are being sued for “over 150 independent acts of copyright infringement from more than 100 individual sound recordings.” A group of artists from Memphis claim to have collaborated with Juicy J, DJ Paul, among others as they were trying to make a name for themselves in the 1990s. The suit alleges that their […]
