London’s own OkayCity is coming back to Ontario after being out west in BC for the past year and of course they are running around the area doing a couple shows while they are back. Take my word for it…..their shows are great. People around the Forest City know what’s good with homegrown hip hop and thats what these dudes bring. So come out and support your boys Ray Black & Mad Mak while they rock 4 shows including 2 in ONE NIGHT London on Thursday night, Friday night in Toronto with D-Sisive, & finishing off in Kitchener on Saturday.
Be sure to check out (and buy) their mixtape of album proportions Tocsin B on iTunes! Also click the dates for the Facebook event pages!

Mansion is a spectacular 12,000 square-foot lounge, night club, and special events venue. The exquisite interior of the site features three unique environments for each essential part of your event.
The Come Up Show was at Mansion’s 2 Year Anniversary for Saturday and Sunday.
Based out of London, Ontario, this six piece collective fuses elements of Soul and Funk, while maintaining a focus on the fundamental story telling techniques of early Hip Hop. Taking inspiration from a variety of musical genres, Two Crown King cultivate a sound that is saturated with insightful lyrics, melodic hooks and solid grooves. They combine style and swagger to deliver their own brand of organic Neo-Soul.
Thank you very much to Two Crown King for supporting The Come Up Show. It motivates me even more when I see like minded individuals who love music and have the drive. Together we are on “the come up”.

Phi Gamma Delta is holding their largest Philanthropic/Fund Raising Event of the year
This upcoming March 26th, the brothers of Phi Gamma Delta will gather at Victoria Park to camp-out for 24 hours in hopes of raising $20,000 for the Canadian Mental Health Association.
In order to reach this goal, FIJI needs the help of each and every organization out there to come join us during the camp-out by either creating a camp-out team, helping collect donations or simply by raising awareness of this event and the Mental Health Association. This is not the usual exclusive frat event; we plan for this event to be inclusive in nature so that the London Community can come together to support the Canadian Mental Health Association and people in need of mental support.
Please contact Pat Valdis for more information on how to participate or how to donate.
