One small correction, though: The album is primarily made up of Canadian artists but there are a few foreigners on there…

And here’s their suggested sample song:

LIVE: $5 Rap Show - More Or Les, Smash Bros, Wordburglar

Two of my favourite Toronto rappers, More or Les and Wordburglar, have started a monthly hip hop night at Rancho Relaxo in Toronto, and they’ll be featuring a varied mix of local and out-of-town guests that will always impress. Hand’Solo Records is throwing their support into this worthy series, and hopefully we’ll see you out for the kick off on Wednesday, May 26th when More Or Les, Wordburglar and Smash Bros rock the stage. And see the infamous Fresh Kils & DJ iRate in action…
