Future Classic: J-Live “No Time To Waste”
Our Favourite teacher is back with a second single from his forthcoming LP, S.P.T.A. This time, Mr. Cadet takes us back to the sound of the mid nineties with the classic sound of the psycothic neurotic producer named Diamond D. Intelligent lyrics, perfect flow and a brillant beat made with …
Haiti Stand-Up Video Quebec Tribute
Very good and timely tribute to all the people of Haiti who have endured a very rough 12 months to say the least. Several Quebec hip-hop artists combined forces to mark the very sad one year anniversary of the earthquake. Obviously Quebec has very strong ties with Haiti as there …
HIP HOP WORD ASSOCIATION Collage – Chopped Herring 2011

Future Classic: JC Poppe – Foundation of a Moment
It’s amazing what you can find on the interwebs. I just discovered JC Poppe (aka Jonathan Poppe) from Milwaukee, Wisconsin on his bandcamp page. “Foundation of a Moment” really captures the essence of classic golden era ’90s hip-hop. This track will be featured on JC Poppe’s upcoming double album Shadowlands / Tea …
Nas “The Lost Tapes 1.5” Mixtape
Even though the beefing is over you’re either a NAS guy or a JAY-Z guy (btw, Nas won that battle!). I’m a NAS guy. Always been. If he wants to put out records until he’s 70 i’ll still be listening (even though his choices of production collaborations and beat choices …

Buckwild the legendary DJ/Producer from D.I.T.C. and Celph Titled the MC from the Demigodz and Army of the Pharaohs, have teamed up to release their collaboration album Nineteen Ninety Now. A lot of people are calling it the sleeper hip-hop album of 2010. It’s loaded with dope collabos. Loving a …
Future Classic: Dj Premier + KRS-1 & Grand Puba “5%”
For real hip-hop heads, these kind of moments are few and far between. This is a Dj Premier produced track for KRS-One’s upcoming 2011 record called “Return of the Boom Bip”. Never been the hugest KRS guy but I can’t front on this track. Dope!
Future Classic: DAMU the Fudgemunk “More Supplies”
Been really digging DAMU these past few months. I’ve played a few of his tracks in previous podcast but I think this EP is definitely the first one that I need to buy on vinyl. “More Supplies” is a really strong 5 track EP on clear vinyl. We definitely need …
MURS “H-u-s-t-l-e” (2004)
My good peeps at Potholes in my blog just posted a new MURS video which is a cover of Common‘s “I Used to love her” (check it here) and we were both agreeing that MURS and 9th Wonder’s better days are sadly behind them. Well, I figured i’d post one …
Future Classic: Freddie Gibbs “The Ghetto”
I was reading up on one of my favorite sources for dope music called Potholes in my Blog (check that site out!). They just put together the very tough task of listing top records of the year by categories. Jazz, Hip-Hop, Soul and this gem I found in the Best …
Future Classic: Accrophone Beat Session vol.1
Some Quebec City heat for you all. Accrophone are a duo that have been putting out tracks for about 5-6 years now and if you ask me they are now fully coming to their own. Claude Bégin and E-Man are also vital members of the Alaclair Ensemble collective (with Kenlo, …
