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…

JazzB and CAPS3 continue their “no sales” model of music dissemination with a combined total of three new discs worth of music. JazzB presents two-parter For.Ever.Great.Full, a collection of instrumentals and odd remixes, while CAPS3’s Pixelate goes the vocal route. As well, their first collection, Creator / Pixel, released one year ago, will get resurrected as a free download on Hand’Solo Records. Check back for that one soon.
