Top 5 Indie Emcees


Read this dope Toronto Star article on the top five indie emcees from Toronto. The write-up mentions that our homies Rich Kidd and the Smash Brovaz are dominating the T.O. hip-hop scene. Truly nobody does it better than Ridgeway Entertainment

L- Just Rap Mixtape


Just Rap, as a precursor to my upcoming album Hear No Evil /Music to my Ears, which is set to release later this year.

Just Rap has already been widely supported within the Toronto hip-hop community, as well as some international blogs, and continues to garner attention daily. In an industry focused on gimmicks and tricks, this mixtape is concentrated on the concept of just rapping, exemplified in the debut single "Just Rap." Comprised of 15 tracks, this mixtape follows an acoustic landscape filled with heavy bass to robust horns, and takes you on a lyrical journey from everyday life to political issues. As a multi-layered project, Just Rap has taken hip-hop music on a voyage back to its original roots.
