2025 is going to be a Square Year
This year has some pretty cool math behind it. 2025 is a perfect square. It is the product of 45 times 45. The last time we had a perfect square year was 1936 and the next one doesn’t come around until 2116. So let’s celebrate this magical year. 2025 is also equal to (20+25)squared 2025…

Spade of Citizen Kane on Word is Bond Rap Radio
Citizen Kane is one of the the best underground Hip Hop groups that Canada has ever produced. They have great albums and were probably the first rap group to ever have a documentary made about them, I wrote about it in the university newspaper back in the day. It’s been long overdue, but we finally…

My Top 20 TV Shows Of All-Time
I have had a Top 10 list of my favourite TV shows of all-time for as long as I can remember. I have updated it several times over the years but a new show has caught my attention and I knew I needed to revisit this list. I also wanted to expand it to 20…

10 Years, I miss you Dad!
It’s hard to believe that it’s been ten years since you left this mortal realm. I still think of you often and miss you terribly. You were a great dad and inspired me to always follow my heart, to leave it cleaner than I found it, and to just be an all-around good person. I…

Word is Bond Rap Radio Live (Recorded at Hoop Fest)
I had the opportunity to DJ at Hoop Fest last month in Victoria Park. It was a lot of fun to be providing music while the 3×3 basketball tournament was in session. Once the games were done, we kept the party rocking with a freestyle session and some live performances. It was a lot of…

My Pick for Juno Rap Single of the Year
The Juno Awards are coming up and instead of complaining about the list of nominees this year, I thought I would go through the categories that interest me in detail and make my own decisions about each list. I’ve already covered the Children’s Album of the Year and Rap Album of the Year categories. Now,…
