Mixtape: Ayah – The Problem Woman
Ayah – The Problem Woman Mixtape (Free Download) Most of y’all know that I generally don’t like R&B music, and let’s face it: the genre has been stagnant for years now after the death of neo soul and the introduction of pro Tools assisted divas with an absence of talent and class. However, maybe once [...]
On Toronto…
To be honest, I haven’t talked about my travels in Toronto yet mainly because I’m still trying to come down from the high (literally) that was Montreal. Add to the fact that my boy lived a good 35 minutes from the city center (but still considered in the city of Toronto, go figure) meaning that [...]
Photos: RZA as Bobby Digital featuring Gza at Montreal International Jazz Festival 2008
I wasn’t in Montreal for the Rza throwdown that happened last Thursday night, however my boy Dennis was there and managed to get some great shots of the concert. Check it. Again, Dennis, good look on the Montreal hookup. PHOTO CREDIT: Dennis Malcolm Byron/HeadsOfWool Rza Gza Crowd This last picture was not taken at the [...]

Montreal Snapshot: Mayra Andrade
One of the things best things about Jazz Fest was being able to discover new artists from all over the world and one of the ladies that I was able to check was the beautiful Mayra Andrade. Ms. Andrade, the Cuban born, Cape Verde raised, Paris living singer is only 23, but has been on [...]

Dope Spot: Paul’s Boutique in Montreal
Paul’s Boutique is a dope store near Mount Royal in Montreal that specializes in rare and vintage vinyl and is simply a crate digger’s dream. The spot has a heavy focus on hip-hop, and they also have a large selection of old school 45s as well as mixtapes from local DJs and DVDs. The Beastie [...]
Performance: Public Enemy at Montreal Jazz Festival 2008
Public Enemy played It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back in order from beginning to end, with commentary in between. It was like a live version of VH1 Storytellers with Chuck droppin’ such tidbits how Hank Shocklee at the last minute flipped the ordering of the songs of the cassette and played [...]
Press Conference: Public Enemy at the Montreal Jazz Festival 2008
With Flava Flav in the building, we already knew that this would not be just any ordinary press conference. Say what you want about the man, but the dude is living life to the fullest. I ran into Flav twice in Montreal and he’s keeps it real—he’s the same person that you see on TV, [...]
Review: De La Soul – Montreal Jazz Festival
So the drinking age in Quebec is 18. Add to that the fact that De La played at an all ages joint that is notorious for not carding. The result? I was surrounded by a bunch of drunk 17 year olds and I felt old as hell. Having that said, the teens in that building [...]
Review: Stephanie McKay – Montreal International Jazz Festival
To be honest, Stephanie McKay was off my radar for the longest time. I remember her from that track that “Take Me Over” off her first album, which was solid. And I still keep confusing her with Alice Smith. But that’s all under the bridge. Ms. McKay has taken me over. She really needs to [...]
O Canada: Montreal AND Toronto
So I’ve made slight modifications to my Canada trip, extending it by three days, thereby contributing more of my slowly dwindling funds to y’all Canadian economy. One of my good friends moved to Toronto a few weeks ago, so I figured I would hit him up while I’m “in the neighbourhood,” so to speak. Here’s [...]

SINGLE REVIEW: “HUFF + PUFF” by Just A Band
This joint right here is real sexy-like. Your body will automatically go into autopilot: your head will start boppin’, and you’ll break into a soulful yet swingin’ two-step (think of the Robert Palmer video girls…on speed). The very beginning of the song reminds me of Supernature-era Goldfrapp with heavy synths keys, some la-la-las, and a [...]
