One of the biggest complaints that Toronto hip hop artists have is that they are ignored by local media, and, for the most part, they're right. Drop the Needle hopes to help remedy this by checking in with some of the city's finest artists each month to see what's up.
The Torontoist asked him what he loved most about hip-hop and he said
"You know, what I love about is hip hop is the fact that it’s never stagnant. It forever changes. It’s kind of like a forest. Every once in a while, lightning will strike somewhere and it’s going to burn out all of the old growth. And that old growth will allow new fresh trees and MCs to grow and I think that’s a really important thing in any artistic endeavor or any culture. It constantly makes room for new and innovative ideas to come into fruition. If you are an old tree in that forest, you can still grow with the new saplings. The thing I love about hip hop is its ability to adapt and change."Read the rest of the interview here.....
