Stalley

Stalley’s career first took off when his and Ohio DJ Terry Urban’s mixtape ‘Goin’ Ape’ caught the interest of Mos Def; which led to the Ohio emcee opening for Mos on one of his tours. Along with Ross, Stalley’s list of known hip-hop associates is nothing short of impressive; with names like Ski Beatz, Jay Electronica, Wale, Curren$y, and even folk rocker John Mayer.

Rich Kidd

Rich Kidd is a juno nominated producer, who has produced for artists like Nelly Furtado, K-OS, Drake, Shad, and many more. Rich Kidd emerged in 2009 as a commercially viable producer when the legendary Busta Rhymes used his production for a mixtape cut featuring M.O.P.’s Billy Daze called “Indescribable.” That same year, Juno nominated Kos wrote one of his career’s biggest hits over a Rich Kidd production sampling Phantom Planet’s “California.” “I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman” featured Saukrates and Nelly Furtado and the video was nominated for a Best Hip Hop Video at the 2010 MMVAs. He has shared the stage with J. Cole, Jay Electronica, KRS One, Big Krit, Cory Gunz and Kendrick Lamar, and the Toronto Star named him one of Toronto’s top 5 independent MCs.

The Antiheroes

The Antiheroes consist of Sha and Flex—two emerging emcees from Durham Region with the lyrical finesse and throw-back vibe that remind you why you started listening to hip hop. The duo’s unique blend of vintage beats, catchy samples and effortless wordplay has fans buzzing, subscribing and following worldwide. From their upcoming debut This is FreeDUMB, singles “Fly” and “Circus Clowns” have been featured across industry sites and campus radio—from Germany to Australia—to an overwhelmingly positive response. At once classic and fresh, The Antiheroes are in it for one thing: the music.

Ngajuana

One of the most diverse and complete artists to ever hail from Canada, N.G.A (Ngajuana to his true fans) has shown absolute dedication to his craft. Over a span of 9 years, N.G.A has written 450 tracks and counting. N.G.A has performed more than a hundred live shows and has translated his considerable skills into opening for a good number of prominent hip-hop acts. Ngajuana is in the final stages of preparing to release his third, full-length album: Section One. Section One is entirely produced by the geniuses in the U.K.-based production team: PnT WorldWyde.

[Interview] Phife Dawg talks Q-Tip persona and Nas involvement in Tribe Documentary Pt.3

Chedo — Fri, 04 May 2012 20:11:53 +0000

The Come Up Show presents part 3 of our interview with Phife Dawg, you might remember the 2011 documentary Beats Rhymes & Life: The Travels Of A Tribe Called Quest, you might not know that it’s a winner in the Producers Guild Award, received a Grammy and NAACP Image Awards nomination, amongst others. Phife tells us how he feels about all the attention and acclaim the documentary got. Something not too many people know is that Nas was one of the first to suggest that Tribe should do a documentary back in 2008. Michael Rapport and Nas came together to work on the documentary but due to personal issues in Nas’ life he couldn’t continue with the documentary.

Phife Dawg also tells about Q-Tip personality, why he feels Q-Tip is a reluctant superstar, Phife says “in the studio and the stage is when his ego comes out but offstage meeting and greeting he isn’t comfortable with people, he still hasn’t got used to it, I’m not sure why but it is what it is”. Check this out and more in part.3 of our itnerview with Phife Dawg, make sure to subscribe to The Come Up Show TV for part. 4 as Phife reminisces his working experience with J Dilla.

Chedo — Thu, 03 May 2012 16:28:22 +0000

The Come Up Show Presents Part 2 of our interview with Phife Dawg, this is the first time he talks about the new album and its title Cheryl’s Big Son: The Anomaly and the first single is called Soulmen featuring one of his artists LEL. I asked Phife about the high expectation fans have because it is his first solo album in twelve years, he tells us he wasn’t thinking of making an album because of his battle with his health, unless it was a Tribe album, he was just going to produce, but all of a sudden he caught the bug again while producing. He tells us this and more in Part. 2 of our interview with Phife Dawg.

Make sure to check back tomorrow on The Come Up Show TV for part. 3 of our interview as he talks about the Tribe documentary.
