Audible Doctor - "I Think That..." EP
Emcee/produce The Audible Doctor (Brown Bag Allstars crew) has been dropping "leaks" of tracks from this project for a few months, and now it's finally here, his EP "I Think That..." This is a thoroughly high quality album - great production, catchy hooks, dope emceeing and ill lyricism. For an "EP," this thing is 11 tracks! The entire EP can be streamed and downloaded for free below. Check it!
Words from the man himself:
Hollywood Adom - "3 Kings Freestyle"
Here's an upbeat verse from Toronto rapper Hollywood Adom. My favourite line is, "these n*ggas couldn't walk a whole day in my pantalon."
F.E.L.N. - SLPWLKR
Scarborough emcee F.E.L.N. just released his new album, SLPWLKR. If you like gritty, underground, raw hip hop music, then take in this album, and cop it at a price of your choosing. Gaze into the mind of a man dealing with his own breakdowns, breakthroughs, and triumph over his own demons...
S.insL.oveP.owerW.omenL.ifeK.nowledgeR.evenge..
This album is a culmination of experiences over the last two years, my feelings and reactions to situations that my chaotic life has been flung into.
During the creation of this album, I had what I thought was everything - lost every part of it, and have been shown the way to regain it more effectively.
This album is more than music to me, it is a two way journey. A lock and key, a gateway to my wants and needs, a window to my wins and losses, my highs and lows.
Heartbreak to victory. Good times and bad. These are the tales of a man who lived his dreams and stuck to them when they became his nightmares.
- F.E.L.N.
The Antiheroes - 6 Degrees feat. Sugar Tongue Slim
New single from The Antiheroes feat. Sugar Tongue Slim off their forthcoming album, Modern Day Riot. Dope-sauce.

Relic - Miles to Go
T-Dot/B-Town emcee, producer, singer, audio engineer RELIC has just dropped his new album, Miles to Go, and after a few listens I can confidently say this is a thoroughly solid album. Stay tuned for a more in-depth review, but for now listen to the album and if you're feeling it, cop it - you can tell just by listening that a ton of hard work has gone into this project.
RELIC Raises The Bar With Self Made New Release
If being a "Triple threat" is an ace in the hole for most performers, then RELIC aka Rel McCoy is about to show the world how dangerous he really is. The Toronto based hip-hop guru can list Emcee, DJ, Producer, Engineer and Singer to his credits, all of which he showcases on his latest album Miles To Go. It's an undertaking few can pull off, let alone take credit for, but the evidence of his ability to combine these talents with a deft touch can be heard in spades on this stunning release that combines old-school melodies and intense rhymes with breakneck speed.
A Juno Award producer listed on Shad's winning album, RELIC is making a name for himself as the total package in Canadian hip-hop. Out on September 11th, Miles To Go is a full length he opted to (get ready for it) write, record, produce and mix entirely on his own. The result is an album where nothing sounds calculated or forced; there's a natural attention to rhythm that allows tracks like the funk-influenced "Out of the Blue" or the inspired and courageous "Action Figure" (in which he gives props to Steve Nash) to adapt to every situation.
"What I like most about his style is that his approach to production and rapping is always true to the essence of hip hop but still inventive in subtle and surprising ways, and above that, his content is sincere and relatable." - SHAD
This is not hip-hop with an edge just for the sake of having an edge. It's RELIC recounting the stories of his life which brought him to where he is today. The opening 1-2 punch of "Gone Clear" and "Nobody Like You" showcase how easily his introspective lyrics can be related to by all fans of hip-hop. They're stories for all to hear, enjoy and bring forth their own perspective.
Though RELIC did manage to create Miles To Go on his own, he wasn't too proud to allow his friends into the studio and put their touches on the album. He invited the aforementioned Shad along with Ghettosocks in for "Down and Dirty," Brotha Soul for "The Extra Mile" and Mr. J. Medeiros on "The Valley." This was an important move as he sought to maintain the personal relationships he has with these artists.
Miles To Go features an honest and soulful approach where RELIC embodies the bold and vulnerable spirit of hip-hop culture.

Audible Doctor feat. Blacastan & Wise Intelligent - Genuine (prod. by Audible Doctor)

The Audible Doctor just dropped another leak off his upcoming FREE EP, I Think That, which is scheduled to drop on Sept. 25, 2012. The new track "Genuine" features Blacastan and Wise Intelligent (of Poor Righteous Teachers) and is produced by Audible Doctor himself. Mad heatery coming from this man, the EP should be amazing.
Junia-T feat. Slakah the Beatchild - You & I
Toronto emcee/producer Junia T (one half of the duo Smash Brovaz) just dropped a new single, "You & I," featuring Slakah the Beatchild on production and vocals for the hook. A song about love, dedication, and intimate relations...
