After today? They should hold it at the Cheesecake Factory, fam.
Glad this @shabakah album landed in my collection today. It’s such a beautiful piece of work. I love that the guy I associate with fierce apocalyptic dance saxophone is making such gentle and thoughtful music. This album is remarkable, with such a cool list of guest artists.
So I really messed up by not ordering the new @BrotherAli and Unjust album on CD, and now they’re sold out. I balked at the high shipping price, but listening, I realize it’s worth at least twice that (although I’d rather that money go to Ali than USPS). Ali snapped on this!
My May plans include @KamasiW, @McKinleyDixon, @edwardlgordon (aka Laraaji), @juliaholterreal, @TMessthetics, @JBLEWIS1983, @rocmarci, and @Khruangbin. This is going to be a fun month!
Had a fantastic time seeing @nickwaterhouse tonight. He and his band never disappoint! They played every song I was hoping for in their really packed set. It was so nice to see the audience dancing (so different from all the rap shows I go to).
Everybody should get to see @KassaOverall perform live, but if you haven’t yet, listen to this live recording that captures the thrill of it all. You can feel the energy of @TomokiSanders running around the crowd with a cowbell. And @TheoCroker is on here!
Listening to all these @GregFoatGroup live recordings that have been popping up lately really makes wish he’s come play Toronto. This sounds like an incredible show to have been at.
Lofigo is new to me, but I’m impressed! The features by @BruiserWolf and @QuelleChris drew me in, but his flow and perspective has me coming back for more.
Needed some tropical vibes on this grey morning, so I thought I’d visit Cuba with @DaymeArocena. This album always lifts my mood.
Enjoying this new Gangrene album. Both @Alchemist and @ohnothedisrupt are at the top of their game on this one!
Finally got a chance to really sit with the new @Khruangbin album, and I appreciate how they are evolving their sound, adding more vocals, but keeping their same unique vibe. Really looking forward to their show in June.
I really do love everything that @badbadnotgood touches. Their collaboration with @babyrosemusic is so beautiful and perfect. Her voice sounds so good with their playing on this way too short project.
This is such an impressive piece of work. It’s definitely an album you need to sit with and think about - @moormother delivers a sonic history lesson that is unsettling and intense. No bangers, but maybe the most important album of the year.
The new @kellymoran album is a great way to start your Sunday. I never get tired of strange piano music. This one penetrates your mind.
Had a good time at the @t6mikee show tonight. I have to admire the perspective he brings to his music; no artist is doing it like he is.

Drake made his diss record for his fans and Kendrick made his for Drake. That’s the difference- drake gon listen to that more than any of us will lol
My only comment on the Kendrick Drake music is Ceasefire Now, Free Palestine and Justice for all.
actually that's a lie. I'm not gonna be satisfied then either cause deep down I think all of these dudes are rich weirdos and I prefer music from broke weirdos these days
📣 HAPPENING NOW: Students at Toronto Metropolitan University have organized a sit-in to demand the university disclose their investments, which they have failed to do so far. Come and join whether you're a student or not!
@rapmusicplugpod may not be as clever or funny, I think what he is saying about Drake is truer and things I would never want said about me. He paints a (photo) of an insecure, dishonest, self centered, ego driven child. line about lies bout dot being less dangerous than truths about Drake is wow
@rapmusicplugpod Nah it’s no contest. Drake did his best but it’s a foam finger to them Hulk Hands
@rapmusicplugpod @defcee ROH-V-O!!!! jzjxjjxjskskskskksksks
Been saying this in replies since, but I need to formally state that I take this back The last straw was @defcee sending this rather mean message in the RMPP discord 😭 Upon further review, I was wrong… there were way more clever digs than I initially caught Dot came correct
So I think euphoria was good But were his digs as comedic or cleverly written as Drake’s on Push Ups? Not to me Drake may be better suited for beef, just cus he’s more disrespectful Solid response, but I’m a bit underwhelmed… what do you think? youtu.be/NPqDIwWMtxg?si…
@rapmusicplugpod The hate lines need to be on a tee right now
@Crate808 The cheesin fam part was awesome LOL
@rapmusicplugpod I’m calling it no contest bro, Kendrick riddled him. The DMX reference…the Toronto accent…Drake ain’t got that in his bag.

THIS
“Instead of engaging in meaningful discussions about the future of education in Ontario, we find ourselves entangled in pointless quarrels over the latest out-of-touch remarks from the premier or the education minister. This year, it’s cell phones.” monitormag.ca/articles/ontar…
@Jim_KongIl @BrotherAli It’s a genuinely beautiful and touching album
@CityNewsTO This is getting far more coverage than the education funding details that came out on Friday, and all he did was repeat the cellphone “ban” from 2019, and “ban” something else that is literally already illegal. It’s like he jingles his keys and everyone gets distracted.
