Trying to find the best Hip Hop in Canada? I have been. The Junos announced 5 nominees - I picked 55 other albums that could be someone's #AOTY. It's all subjective, but the point is that there was a lot of good rap made in this country last year.

Happy New Year! Yesterday's episode kicked off a new season of #ATSIC looking back at the past year & selecting one track from each episode - it's a 2 hour long mix of my favourites to ring in 2026, and it's a good place to start for anyone looking to learn more about #CanadianHipHop or support #indieartists across the country.
Thanks to everyone who talked to me on #FlyInFormation, supported #AfterTheSmokeIsClear, and helped build the community into something more interconnected and supportive. We've got work to do, and more hands make for light work.π
Slow growth is better than no growth, but also, it's better than instant overnight growth that makes people think you're a bot. @ezza905 on #FlyInFormation 137 π΅

If you pay close attention you might have noticed that @Ezza905 was acting strangely in some recent promo, so I asked about it on #FlyInFormation 137.

The state of Hip Hop is a constant conversation here on #FlyInFormation. @shoutoutlenbowen says the modern era is trash. Has the culture lost the foundational principles? Honest opinions always welcome, whether I agree or not.

Total creative freedom sounds good right? @ShoutoutLenBowen on why going solo lets you paint the picture exactly how you want it. #FlyInFormation 136

I talked with @sarafinmusic about how artists work to blend their originality and unique perspective in with their inspirations to create music that connects and pushes forward. Lengthy clip but it was a small chunk of a conversation i really enjoyed.

Chasing pennies on streaming? Why? @sarafinmusic talked about why indie artists are finding more success going direct to consumer with digital sales. π
