yet another montreal edition, this time a more hip-hop oriented set.
my boyfriend and i were going to go see donzelle perform friday night at this place called zoobizarre, but the show was sold-out. it's rather unfortunate that we couldn't get in despite him knowing her (went to school with her). but it made me think about this whole hip-hop montreal crew that we have here. such "artists" (more like beatmakers) create undeniably voracious beats along with lyrics that are a semi-tease. their performances are riffing on the seriousness of the hip-hop scene, yet they are themselves growing into it. numéro#, as i've heard, also started out as this big joke, but they're very successful at it. i'm not sure how long the joke will last. anyway, here are some of mtl's best beatmakers (starting with those who are serious about it):
socalled - you are never alone
dishwasher - come homegatineau - pow pow t'es mort
giselle numba one - the swedish and the haitians
donzelle - bébé ok
sexyboy - hotter than my schedule
numéro # feat. omnikrom - chewing-gum fraise
sharp à l'os - fait attention remix
jeune chilly chill - sur le régulier
nul si découvert - gary cooper
atach tatuq - chips
stat!
