So Far Gone…
Comeback Season is one of my favourite musical compilations to date. Created with more skill and better music than most artists full feature LP’s. Drake posted this track today as a mood setter for the new tape “So Far Gone”. This falls nothing short of amazing.

I’ve Been Sleeping
Q-Tip - “Renaissance Rap” from Three/21 Films on Vimeo.
[Directed by Rik Cordero]
SMH at me, I’ve been sleeping on Q-Tip’s “The Renaissance”. I’ve been slacking overall on updating my music catalogue but I’m finally getting caught up and there are some boulder sized diamonds in the rough lately. The music industry seems to slowly be making a turnaround, where quality overshadows quantity, and artistic integrity supercedes label capital pressure. Thank you Q-Tip and everyone else making good music, you are an inspiration.
Support good music!

It’s The Taste Buds
Being couped up in the house with an iron ball and chain of work attached to you has some advantages; including getting caught up on my favourite blogs. Inqmnd’s Avi Gold and Kevin Marzo collaborate on my favourite food blog and an overall dope read The Taste Buds. Warning: If you’re hungry and click this link I take no responsibility in any wreckless spending and/or overindulgence on a delicious meal or twenty.

Nardwuar the Human Serviette
Anybody growing up in Canada is familiar with MuchMusic and probably knows who Nardwuar is. Whether you changed the channel due to his avant garde interview approach, or appreciated his antics with your favourite artist; you recognize his face. But do you recognize his skills? I know I deserve a late pass on the NERD interview but the interaction between Nardwuar and Pharrell is priceless. Nardwuar’s ability to completely stun Pharrell and take him out of his element is astonishing. To be considered “second to none” as an interviewer by someone who is interviewed daily in different lifestyle aspects is quite the accomplishment. We can all learn from Nardwuar; by not being afraid to be ourselves and striving to be the best at what we love, our hard work and diversity will eventually be recognized.
