ill Sh*t to listen to: Canadian Edition

Now if you remember, I mentioned that Drake was from Toronto, and that later I'd drop some more canadian rappers, well here we are now. And here are some canucks you should definitely listen to:

K-Os
K-Os is my favorite musician, ever, not rapper, not singer, musician. The first time i saw him on tv i was in 9th grade, half awake watching a fuzzy MTV2, needless to say it confused the hell out of me. For you see, to truly understand his music, drugs are pretty necessary, by drugs I mean that sweet lovable plant known as Marijuana. As I type this i'm listening to K-Os, he needs more American recognition, the man said he'd release one album and retire, but as time went on he released 2 more, THESE ARE GIFTS THAT WE MUST BE GRATEFUL OF. Anyway here's TWO K-Os videos

Man I used to be


Superstar Pt 0 (The first video i ever saw by K-Os)

Yes it was on BET, im just as surprised as you are, oh well a broken clock is right twice a day!

His website of course
www.kosmusic.com

Shad
Shad has been around since 2005, well as far as i know anyway. I just heard his second album "The Old Prince" in Jan, and i was quite impressed, i suggest you downl-I mean buy it as soon as you can. I feel kinda bad cuz i hopped all over K-Os's dick and now I'm barely writing shit for Shad but, i'll let the music speak for us (Me and Him) ya dig?

I dont really like to


www.shadk.com


Classified
Classified has been in the Canadian Rap scene FOREVER, like his discography is at least 7 CDs deep, the sad tragedy of Class is that, he didnt start out as good as he is now, he's alot like a Senior that started out being really nerdy and scrammish freshman year who's cool as shit now, he has to go out of his way to prove his worth. Anyway here's a couple tracks by Classified

The Maritimes:

Classified's website is : http://www.myspace.com/hiphopclassified
He's got a new CD droppin in the US soon, so go look for it!

DL Incognito
When i first saw DL Incognito's name, i wondered one thing, "What the fuck does Incognito mean?" I've learned the meaning (thank you Wikipedia) anyway I randomly found this dude on Rapreviews.com which is quite possibly the best hiphop review site I've ever seen, cuz pretty much everything I've every wanted to listen to is reviewed up there, hiphop wise. (I had to find out the hard way the 3rd Kelly Clarkson CD wasnt as good as the 2nd one...Oh Well!) but anyway back to DL, dude reps Ottawa and he drops some pretty ill shit, my favorite song by him is Audio Coke, i couldnt find a video video for it, all i could find was one of those videos with a picture and the song playing. So Im posting that and 2 real videos

Audio Coke
