Myer Clarity - 'B.Y.O.B.'
Friday, September 25, 2015
With a Steven Martin-esque brand of humour, and the cadence and delivery reminiscent of an early Lupe Fiasco, 22 year old rapper Myer Clarity is hard to forget and easy to remember. Fully nourished off his steady diet of 90's hip-hop and indie punk rock bands, the Montreal native turned Toronto transplant, released his 4th self produced official album B.Y.O.B. in July 2015.

  As an only child constantly shifting back and forth between divorced parents, Clarity is certainly no stranger to contrast. He’s been known to don chains, baggy pants and at one point even a green Mohawk all while belting out his signature double time delivery over self produced gut rumbling instrumentation. This contrast being even more evident from his, “charming, goofy and seemingly effortless” stage presence, as stated by the Montreal Mirror, paired with his ability to, “pull off intense flows while packing ridiculous punch-lines,” as suggested by online blog Elementaly. 

  Ten years under his belt perfecting his craft has led Myer Clarity to seeing out the release of countless EP’s, albums and mixtapes, as well as records with various underground heroes such as Mac Lethal, Moka Only, and D.O of Art of Fresh. His stage presence, relentlessly polished from well over 300 performances, has led him to share the stage with a wide array of artists such as Yelawolf, Hoodie Allen, T Millz, Sean Price, Kid Koala, Snak the Ripper, D12, Cage, Philly Moves, and Relic to name a few. His 2012 video "Meet Me @ The Park" currently boasts +27K views and rising, not to mention, he's performed at renowned festivals such as Osheaga and POP Montreal.

  Despite interest from various indie labels, and industry veterans alike, Clarity has remained true to his independent roots and chose to continue to grow his fan base organically from the ground up. If anything, it is quite clear that the future is bright for the burgeoning talent that is Myer Clarity.

Wolf J McFarlane - 'Sah'
Wednesday, September 23, 2015
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.





The ongoing feud continues between Philly rapper Meek Mill and Toronto rapper Drake. The feud began when Meek called out Drake for not writing his own lyrics, these initial shots fired were a response to Drake not retweeting Meeks new album on Twitter. Other possible reasons are surfacing for why Meek would attack the Toronto rap God including a personal plug to build up hype for the release of his new album and a build up of bitterness because Drake used to date his now fiance Nicki Minaj. For the full backstory check out "Meek Mill Plugs New Album Disses Drake".

A day after Meeks allegations, Drake responded with "Charged Up". A track which Meek responded to with "baby lotion soft"

Meek remained silent for days following the track and retaliated with a 15 second clip of him screaming into a mic.

Drake responded back again dropping yet another Meek diss track titled "Back To Back" with a photo of Joe Carter's 1993 World Series winning home-run versus the Philadelphia Phillies (Meeks hometown) to cap off back to back baseball championships. Drake throws a mean punch at Meek in this one:

You love her, then you gotta give the world to her
Is that a world tour or your girl's tour?
I know that you gotta be a thug for her
This ain't what she meant when she told you to open up more
Yeah, trigger fingers turn to twitter fingers
You gettin' bodied by a singin' nigga

Meek Mills just so happened to be in Toronto the night Drake dropped "Back to Back". Meek was in Toronto on Nicki Minaj's world tour and came out on stage 90 minutes late to a slew of boos. Meek was apparently late due to custom issues at the border.

"Back to Back" brings forth the aggression and hits some soft spots on the Philadelphia rapper which may have Meek running back to Philly with his tail between his legs.;
