Ghettosocks is a Juno nominated artist born in Ottawa and living in
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. In a short period of time, Socks has
expanded his fan base from across Canada, to Europe, South America,
Australia, Japan, and into the United States. His unorthodox songwriting
style and energetic live performances have placed Socks in high demand
both nationally and internationally. Constantly touring various regions
of Canada, having embarked on three american tours, five European tours,
plus an introductory Japanese tour, socks has become a seasone
performer. Aside from providing support for a who's-who of establisged
artists*, Socks has been steadily headlining more and more of his own
shows, making him and up-and-comer to check for.
With love for
90's Golden Era Hip Hop, and futuristic mindset, Ghettosocks combines
sharp witty punch lines, with clever pop-culture references over an
ecclectic mid of instrumental landscapes. Socks is an interested breed
of artists who manages to appeal to extremely divers and fickle rap(and
non-rap) audiences.
Ghettosocks' latest work,"FYPT", features
hip hop heavy weights such as El Da Sensei (of the artifacts), Sadat x
(of brand nubian), and london england's legendary production duo, The
herbalizer.
(*including The Pharcyde, Nas, Afrika Bambaataa,
AZ,Special ED,The GZA,The beatnuts,The Herbalizer,El da Sensei, Kool
Hurc, and dozens more)
Transit!!
Transit is a hip-hop
artist who moved to Calgary from Victoria in 2007. He has gained notable
buzz from media outlets such as Much Music, Maclean’s Magazine, Q with
Jian Ghomeshi and many more. His latest album “22” which was released
November of 2011, was the first album from a Calgary rapper to reach Top
10 of the iTunes hip-hop charts.
In 2010, Transit and long time
collaborator Dave Wallace created a video titled "The 8 Hour Challenge."
In the video, Transit and Dave film themselves creating a top 40 pop
song from scratch to prove how easy it is to be "radio friendly." After
creating the viral Youtube video, Transit and Dave were approached by
KISS star Gene Simmons who was interested in the sound Transit and Dave
had created. Rather than pursuing Gene's invitation to set up a showcase
for his record label, Transit decided to stay independent in order to
maintain his artistic integrity.
Transit has earned the respect from
notable artists such as Jann Arden, Madchild, and Kyprios, who have all
recently collaborated with Transit. However, his popularity extends
past the music industry, as seen by his recent nomination to be
Calgary’s first ever Poet Laureate. He is currently finishing his new EP
titled “Public Domain” which will be available for free download Summer
2012.
Relic!!
Take the following ingredients.
1.Emcee 2. D.J. 3. Producer 4. Engineer 5. Singer
Combine these five into a single creative mind, and you have an artist
that, well… does a lot of stuff. Now add a can of “ Do it real real good
“ and you’re getting close. Add to this, husband, father, and
entrepreneur and you have an idea of what makes up the artist known as
Relic. You have to admit,the whole thing sort of makes the term “Triple
Threat” feel like it showed up in jean shorts for a black tie affair.
His honest and soulful approach to music can be clearly heard on Rel's
latest self produced record,GOLDEN. From one release to the next, Rel
McCoy continues to embody the bold and vulnerable spirit of hip
hop culture.
**Rel mixed the 70% of the songs on Shad's 2007 Juno nominated album
entitled 'The Old Prince', offering up a feature verse, and production
on the project. He also re-appeared as producer/engineer and feature
emcee on Shad's 2010 album TSOL, which earned him the credit of Juno
award winning producer.Recently Rel produced “Long Jawn”, the last song
on Shad's latest release “ Flying colours”.
Aerosubtle!!
Straight outta Lethbridge, Aerosubtle is an animal behind the mic. Never
content to hob-nob with the unwashed mediocre mass of hip hop
"producers," Aerosubtle mines the deepest, weirdest corners of hip hop
to spit some twisted rhymes.
Steezy-Ray
Steezy-Ray is a
sweetheart and Romantic, Loves Women and making music, he wants to play
music everyday until he dies, he's always a gentleman. His motto "Peace
and Love"
