GOOD RAPPERS IN TORONTO: SPOTLIGHT ON HARVEY STRIPES.


Harvey Stripes travelled across Canada for the "Hustlerz Ambition" tour along with Young Jeezy this past spring 2012. He is one of the few Canadian Rappers I even reckon with. He is a Toronto based rapper whose humility resonates in his music. Most recently he was nominated for a MuchMusic Video award and went on tour around Canada with Young Jeezy. The video above is an excerpt of that tour.

I also caught up with Harvey at the P.Reign "Spike for Life" event where Drake hosted a ton of kids and helped them raise money for a new recording studio at the Boys and Girls club of Galloway. 

Harvey also chatted with me at the 2011 Stylus awards where we spoke about ongoing things in his career and what's next. Below is another video fave of mine, "No Budget" and also the one with Swavey and DJ Charlie B. Some familiar faces in the video including Chase and Nova of A Game and even Standout Entertainment's Amol Gupta! The "Grey Goose Diet" Enjoy!
