The Antiheroes - Addiction

Peep the new track from The Antiheroes over a Madlib beat. This track is called "Addiction":

New Heatery: J Shiltz x MC FÜBB x Wordsworth - Take Notice

TAKE NOTICE. Nuff Said.

(Toronto, ON) - Take Notice. Up and coming Toronto hip hop emcees J Shiltz  and MC FÜBB (The Cypher, Hip Hop Headz/H3) and NYC veteranWordsworth (eMC) have come together over a banging instrumental by Juno-nominated producer Fresh Kils and collaborator Bix. With cuts courtesy of Halifax DJ Uncle Fester (The Extremities), listeners can expect a metaphorical massacre of brilliant lyrics, an awe-inspiring display of flows, and distinct deliveries from these three masterful microphone controllers.

It’s become an almost cliché complaint of hip hop music lovers that the rap scene is saturated with a plethora of artists, making it hard to find real talent amidst the mire of unexceptional music that is released. With Take Notice, J Shiltz, MC FÜBB, and Wordsworth are making it clear that they have the skills necessary to stand out and excel in the rap industry (and demanding that those who aren’t up to par quit rapping). Hip hop heads everywhere need to Take Notice - this year they will get the music they deserve.

About the Artists

                J Shiltz

J Shiltz is a Mississauga City/Toronto MC who has been gaining notoriety for years on the underground circuit. A long time in the making, his first solo offering, What I Stand For, is certainly worth the wait. The album boasts production from Kev Brown, Rich Kidd, Lancecape, Smash Brovaz, and Philly's own Twizzmatic. The album also features guest appearances from Illa J, Frank Nitt, Monolith, SonReal, and more. What I Stand For is a manifestation and testament to the past, present, and future of Canadian hip-hop. Word about the album is getting out, with two music videos featured on MuchVibe and a feature on the Stylus Awards “Who’s Got Next” CD. The album is available for free download at http://jshiltz.bandcamp.com

                 MC FÜBB

Rapping since the age of 15, MC FÜBB (pronounced "emcee foob") began taking his career as a hip hop MC seriously after graduating from the University of Toronto in the spring of 2009. In Sept. 2009 he dropped his debut EP Foundations, and followed up with his mixtape Blue Collar Worker in May 2010. He founded a hip hop community called Hip Hop Headz (H3) with which he started the event THE CYPHER, where MCs/rappers come out to showcase their talents and skills. In collaboration with his fellow H3 members, THE CYPHER has grown to become a staple hip hop event in Toronto, one which FÜBB hosts and freestyles at monthly. His first full length LP In the Face of No Agreement, a collaboration with Brampton producer Noyz, was released in April 2011 under his self-owned label Revolutionary Times Records (RTR). In December of 2011, FÜBB created H3 Radio (in collaboration with internet radio company Mediazoic), a station which plays only the highest quality hip hop with an emphasis on Toronto hip hop. Whether laying down his poetic, intelligent, and intricate verses in the booth or just freestyling in a cypher, MC FÜBB brings a level of intensity and skill to be reckoned with in the world of hip hop. He is currently busy releasing new singles and music videos, while working on his next project, the poet.

     Wordsworth

As his name suggests, Brooklyn-bred artist Wordsworth is the epitome of a true hip hop wordsmith. In addition to appearing on a multitude of other artists' albums, such as Black Star, A Tribe Called Quest: The Love Movement, and Lyricist Lounge Vols. 1 and 2, he co-created, starred in, co-wrote and produced MTV's ground-breaking sketch comedy series The Lyricist Lounge Show.  Since then he has released his acclaimed solo album titled Mirror Music and featured work in video games such as Saints Row to movie soundtracks such as The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. Also, some of his recent works include The Dino 5, a children's hip hop album produced by legendary producer Prince Paul. In the midst of that, he released an album called The Show with his supergroup eMC, which consist of members Stricklin, Punchline and Masta Ace. He also appears in the Kevin Fitzgerald film Freestyle: The Art of Rhyme. His sophomore album is being released later this year.

FREE ALBUM! The Antiheroes - This is freeDUMB

The Antiheroes have done the unthinkable, the unfathomable, the absolutely insane! - OK, I might be getting a bit overly worked up about it. Sha and Flex have re-released their debut album, This is freeDUMB, for free! Given this fact, this album is a MUST HAVE. It's a certifiably dope album, read a review of it here: http://mcfubb.blogspot.com/2011/10/album-review-antiheroes-this-is.html

Free download HERE: http://theantiheroes.bandcamp.com/album/this-is-freedumb

Read more about the release here:

We understand that times are changing. In order to succeed in any market these days, you must adapt. I guess you can say your first project is looked at as a resume of sorts, which is why we have decided to give you our debut LP for free. In a time where music is disposable, we wanted to produce something memorable. Something with staying power. We definitely feel that we achieved that goal.

We faced many ups and downs while recording this project, including talks of hanging it up and passively letting music fall into the monotonous hole that seems to grow bigger every day. Most of these talks stemmed from us being so passionate about what we put into this record. We knew the chance of it being slept on and looked over among all the top 40, bubblegum music that dominates this industry was high. It is a justified fear, but not one that we felt should stop the process. You know what they say: how can you win if you never try? We pushed. We felt it needed to be heard. There is so much to be said about this album and I hope each of you walks away with something that you relate to. Because at the end of the day, it’s all about connecting. I’m not sure at what point up-and-coming artists felt it was ok to put themselves on a pedestal and not be relatable. We are all in this together ─ either chasing dreams, working thankless jobs, or just trying to find a purpose and truly live for something. We want to thank all of you who purchased the physical album or picked it up on itunes or other digital outlets. We appreciate the love. There is no greater feeling than looking out at a show and seeing people who truly believe in what you are doing. We can only hope you understand how much we bleed for this music; and if you don’t, we hope this will help you see.

Music Video: Notes to Self - All of the Above [BBRC]

More quality product from Notes to Self with this new video for "All of the Above." Excellent production (as per usual) from Book and Bronze, dope verses all around - all around great hip hop track and tribute to rap music. The video is...well, it kind of makes you not want to fuck with these guys. Seriously, not sure what the message here is, but here's one interpretation: dope, raw, rugged rap group surviving in the cold, harsh wasteland that is the Music Industry + Hip Hop Scene in general. New NTS project, Used to be Dark (Recoil) coming at the end of the month!



Feeling like Frontiersman, we grew our beards and arrived in Mactier at 7:30pm. Cold as f*ck. 4 hour drive North. Pitch black outside. Cabin smelled like pine and rosé. Dropped our bags, chose our beds, Bronze took the air mattress. Half hour till the NBA Dunk-Off. Donk was geeked. Flat screen, satellite, middle-of-nowhere. Heats on. Lee is lit. Drunk off Timbits. Blake Griffin jumps over a car. Here to shoot a music video.

Eric suggested we charge the equipment. Didn't knock on wood. Inexcusable in a cabin. Power went out. Cold as f*ck. Pitch black inside. Cabin smelled like weed and sulfur. Dropped our plans, went to bed, Bronze froze on the air mattress. 5 hours till daylight. Rosh is lit. Left-over Timbits for breakfast. Last night Blake Griffin jumped over a car. Here to shoot a music video, with Ben to direct. A take on raps pioneers, we planned to wear fur.

The events that followed were captured on camera; 'All of the Above' took place. This is a true story. *No animals were harmed in the making of this video.

Notes to Self - All of the Above [BBRC]

Notes to Self coming through with another banger...if the forthcoming Used to be Dark [Recoil] album keeps the bar as high as the tracks they've been putting out lately, then there is definitely ample reason to get hyped about the project. Take in the hip-hoppery:
