A lot of different people expect Hubbard to be a lot of different things, especially following the events of this summer. A great football player. A great leader. Someone who is outspoken. Someone who represents Oklahoma State University and someone who represents Canada. Hubbard says he is comfortable with those expectations, though. “No, it doesn’t […]
Just over a decade ago, the team behind Atelier New Regime started their business by hawking T-shirts out of their trunks in Montreal. Today, they’re widely regarded as one of the hottest streetwear brands out of Canada, turning heads the world over—and most recently, catching Havana Club’s attention. Well versed in the art of the […]
At this point, it’s industry folklore that some of the most iconic albums of our time were created in isolation. Justin Vernon wrote and recorded Bon Iver’s debut album For Emma, Forever Ago at his father’s remote hunting cabin in Wisconsin while battling mono, a liver infection, and depression. J Dilla created and recorded the beats for Donuts between […]
Danny Green continues to set himself apart. Not many can say they’ve won both an NCAA title and at least three NBA titles—in fact, just 10 other people can. After winning a championship with San Antonio in 2014, Green just won back-to-back titles with both the Toronto Raptors and Los Angeles Lakers. At 33, Green […]
The breadth of Drake’s fame knows few bounds. He’s one of the best-selling solo musicians in pop music history. His records have gone multi-platinum on multiple occasions and he has sold nearly 200 million albums worldwide. He’s the founder of a wildly successful record label, an accompanying clothing line, and his own brand of top-shelf […]

But while Drake and I may both be Scorpios, that’s unfortunately where me and my birthday bro’s similarities end. Because when it comes to birthdays, nobody parties like Drizzy, who somehow manages to find a […]
Backxwash has won the prestigious 2020 Polaris Music Prize for her metal-infused hip-hop album, God Has Nothing To Do With This Leave Him Out Of It. The award is presented annually to the best Canadian album, as decided by a jury of music journalists and broadcasters. The Montreal-based, Zambia-born rapper had some steep competition this year, beating out records […]
If anyone’s got an informed opinion on the current state of the music industry, it’s Zane Lowe. The New Zealand-born DJ-turned-host certainly has the CV for it: he’s renowned for his intimate one-on-ones with the world’s biggest artists (first on BBC Radio 1, then on Apple Music’s Beats 1) and is currently the global creative director of Apple Music. So […]
The quarantine hasn’t slowed Ashley Callingbull’s career. The Indigenous model, pageant queen, and motivational speaker from Enoch Cree Nation in Alberta made waves this year with her biggest campaign yet: she’s the face of Nike’s N7 Collection. Ashley’s role at the forefront of the N7 campaign, as well as her 2015 Mrs. Universe win, acting roles, […]
LB Spiffy is having a hell of a year—and, unlike most of us, it’s not because of the Rona. The 19-year-old rapper, hailing from Toronto’s Jane and Finch area (the stomping ground of scene fixtures Pressa and Friyie) is on a tear of category-defining collaborations and curating a catalog of crazy, fresh music videos. It’s […]
