The Return of Rap City (On Our Screens)
Rap City was such an important part of music television back in the day. It was great to see a block of television devoted to rap music. We were able to discover new tunes, and see some of our favourite emcees who we’d only ever seen in magazines or on album covers. Well, the show…

Mastermind Street Jam – Extra Day
I’m pretty sure the date on this tape is wrong. June 26, 1996 was a Wednesday and the Mastermind Street Jam aired on Mondays and Tuesdays. I knew the date was wrong when I labelled the tape too. I titled it “Extra Day.” Not sure what the real deal is here, but it’s great hip-hop…

First Nations Video Shoot
The horrors of Canada’s Residential School system are just starting to come to light. I am surprised that people were unaware of this terrible part of our history until the terrible news broke a few weeks ago. Members of the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation are getting together Saturday to shoot a video to…
