Wolf J McFarlane, born Jesse McFarlane is a Canadian multi-disciplinary music artist extraordinaire. Successfully graduating from one of Canada’s most talked about youth-led, urban arts organizations, The Remix Project, McFarlane is widely known for his clever, outside the box, and contemporary artistic expressions.
He can be easily placed amongst the list of elite new school artists who have taken over the music world by skillfully engaging their target audience via every available medium at their disposal. With his venture into a solo music career in 2008, Wolf quickly climbed the music charts to become a household name and a Toronto staple in the alternative hip hop and R&b music scene.

American rapper and record producer from California, Tyler the Creator has been banned from the UK. Tyler rose to prominence as the leader and co-founder of the alternative hip hop collective Odd Future, and has rapped on and produced songs for nearly every Odd Future release.

When Tyler, the Creator began cancelling the United Kingdom shows on his European tour, it was later revealed that the Cherry Bomb rapper is banned from the country. Now the former Odd Future frontman has taken to his Twitter feed to speak on why he is not allowed there.

According to The Phuckery: "Tyler has been banned from entering the UK for somewhere between 3 to 5 years per a letter from the secretary of state for the home department of the United Kingdom. the letter specifically cites lyrics he wrote 6-7 years ago for his albums bastard and goblin – the type of lyrics he hasn’t written since… highlights from the letter include that his work “encourages violence and intolerance of homosexuality” and “fosters hatred with views thats seek to provoke others to terrorist acts..” i grew up on NWA, eminem and rage against the machine, so its hard to me to fully wrap my head this thought process and its implications."

This isn’t the first time the west coast native had to cancel tour dates because of his lyrics. He recently cancelled his Austrailan tour after a feminist group attempted to get his visa banned.

Even though he cannot step foot in the UK for the next three to five years, Tyler is heading out on tour with A$AP Rocky in October.

Since releasing their debut self-titled EP in 2011, indie alternative hip hop band Zoo Legacy has had the opportunity to share the stage with acts such as Ms. Lauryn Hill, Classified, Shad, Kardinal Offishal, Ubiquitous Synergy Seekers and the Airplane Boys. The Ottawa-based four piece has also performed at some of Canada’s leading festivals including Bluesfest, NXNE, JUNOfest,Canadian Music Week and among others.

Formed in Ottawa in 2010, Zoo Legacy’s sound can be categorized as alternative hip hop. The bands music blurs the lines between hip-hop, indie rock, R&B, and pop. Consisting of rapper Nick Pouponneau and multi-instrumentalists Mark Milloy, Dominic and Samuel Goss, the bands music appeals to rock fans and hip-hop fans alike. While not easy to pinpoint, Zoo Legacy’s style falls somewhere in the category currently occupied by artists such as Gorillaz, M.I.A., and KiD CuDi.

Zoo Legacy recorded its third project titled 'Departures' in Brooklyn with Juno Award winning producer Gus Van Go (The Stills, Hollerado). The debut track from the album titled 'She'll Never Fall in Love' reached #1 on the Jamsterdam Radio Top 10 on July 24th. 2015. Check out the video and download the track.
