For the past 20 years, George Stroumboulopoulos has had one of the most instantly recognizable faces (and unspellable names) in Canada. From his early days as a MuchMusic VJ to becoming the face of Hockey Night in Canada to his passion project concert series House of Strombo, the host has been a mainstay on our airwaves. Now, it’s time to share him with the […]
Jasmine James got into thrifting while she was in college. She didn’t have a lot of money, but wanted to be stylish, so she frequented thrift stores and purchased vintage rap T-shirts along with sportswear from The North Face, Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren, and Nike. After coming across Round Two’s YouTube show in 2015, she […]
Of the many music tastemakers to lavish praise on meteorically rising Montreal rapper Backxwash in 2020, the shout-out she might be most personally excited about came from Metal Hammer. The venerable UK rock publication, normally known for keeping track of what the titans of rock are up to, called Ashanti Mutinta one of “modern rap’s […]
There is a row of cardboard boxes filled with unpurchased, mostly small- and medium-sized items, arranged tidily below the stairs on the bottom floor of Drake’s OVO flagship store in Tokyo. “We’re shipping these back to the company,” says Yui Hosakawa, the shop’s assistant manager. “We’re waiting for the delivery company.” She speaks confidently in […]
Becoming an NBA champion is a remarkable achievement. Since the league merged with the ABA in 1976, there have been a grand total of 15 different franchises that have claimed the coveted Larry O’Brien trophy.

Last month, Drake posted an Instagram story with a mighty claim: “None of us would be attempting this sound if it wasn’t for @ramriddlz.” “This sound” he’s referring to? Presumably, it’s the free and easy, dancehall- and Afrobeat-tinged vibe that’s permeated pop music for the last five years (see: Drake and Rihanna, “Work”; Justin Bieber, […]
The Raptors will not relinquish their title as defending NBA champions without the scrappiest of street fights. First down 2-0, then 3-2 as the result of an absolutely dismantling performance by the Boston Celtics, Toronto has breathed life back into the series on the back of their 34-year-old All-Star Kyle Lowry, who refuses to let […]
You get some right, you get some wrong. Ranking just about anything in sports is a completely subjective endeavor and our inaugural NFL QB rankings that dropped last August featured some astute slotting, if we do say so ourselves, and a few misses we have to own up to. While we’ll give ourselves credit for […]
Everyone has a crazy story. A story from their life that, when they tell it at parties, leaves the entire room jaw-slackened. It’s safe to say Matty Matheson has a few. The tattoo-laden, loudmouthed Canadian chef and TV star has a larger-than-life stature outmatched only by his larger-than-life personality. Although he’s left behind his days […]
With his gangly frame he strides forward, moving swiftly ahead of one defender, then another. Opponents aren’t devoting the attention they should because they still don’t know. But now he’s running through the middle that is his meadow, and what ensues is a monster dunk that reverberates his team just as much as the rim. […]
