Review by Noah Goodbaum | Photography by Philip Litevsky Here’s how you know you’re in the presence of a rap star: he only has to perform ten-second snippets of his songs to have hundreds of people losing their shit. Busta Rhymes hit the Phoenix and it was one of the most amazing rap shows Toronto’s [...]
Written by Ace Six | Photography by Philip Litevsky I love the first Foreign Exchange album, there is no question that the mellow bump of Nicolay’s production matches with my sensibilities.

Written by Ace Six | Photography by Philip Litevsky Asher who? What? I am guilty of not really paying attention to the whole Asher Roth thing. I guess he’s a big deal in the States and has a following of white college and university students who come out in droves to see him perform his [...]
Pics from Sunday’s party are now up right here. What an awesome concert and dance party wrapped into one. Tona, Kid Famous and of course, the lovely Kim Davis. Great concept, Roundtable. Hope to see more of this. Kid Famous
