Performers included 9th Wonder & Phonte, Zaki Ibrahim, Raekwon & JD Era, Rich Kidd, Kid Capri and Rakim, Freedom Writers, and many more..

It was definitely a historic evening.. Let me know your thoughts!

On Friday Oct 28, I will be playing The Guvernment Complex for a huge special event ‘Monster Mash‘ – this will be the biggest Halloween event in the city on Friday night! Our residency continues on Saturday, Oct 29 inside The Guvernment for the annual Thriller event with 5000+ people each year.

On Saturday, August 20th, my buddy Skratch Bastid (who just happens to be one of the best djs in the world) threw himself a birthday bbq at Toronto’s Steamwhistle Brewery.

Lopes, and P-Plus who also played and for everyone who came through! Looking forward to next year.
