Tona – Reform School [Mixtape]


Toronto rapper Tona has been supporting my Bridging The Gap mixtape series since inception in 2006. When he reached out to me and asked for my help in compiling and mixing his ‘Reform School’ mixtape, it was a no brainer.. The project features 17 original cuts including leaks such as “Blue Shield,” “Neighbourhood,” “Hennessy Thoughts” and “We Do.”

Joining Tona on the guest tip throughout Reform School are Freeway, Kardinal OffishallAyahDosageShad K.Kim DavisAdam BombJD Era and Theo3. Beats come courtesy of Grammy-winning producer Boi-1daDJ Jazzy JeffRich Kidd and more!

Manifesto 2011 Recap [Video]

This past September, 2011 Toronto celebrated the 5th anniversary of THE MANIFESTO. This is one of the most beautiful festivals to take place in the city; a true gathering of art, music, film, food, and culture.

This footage is from the ‘Live At The Square’ event on Sunday, Sept 25 at Dundas Square which I DJ’d.

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!
