Day3-Space Era Mixtape (McCallaman)


About a week ago I downloaded 17 year old producer McCallaman's debut mixtape entitled Space Era and, being the busy man that I am...I had to drag it onto my PDA before running out the house and I'm quite glad that I did. I want to thank McCallaman for helping make my hour long trip into Toronto's core so enjoyable. Jam packed with Banging beats and features from Adreena Mill, Erik Flowchild, and Mason Payne to name a few as well as drops from heavy hitting producers Big Pops (Northern Profit), Boi 1da (ATF), and J.Staffz , McCallaman leaves first time listeners with a great and hopefully lasting impression

To claim a star

It is natural for humans to connect with a winner, someone who has prevailed over another, or someone who has overcome their own weakness and self doubt and conquered some feat. It is natural for humans to claim winners to their party, tribe, band, team or nation, but is it also natural for us to rebuke and deny those that have yet to achieve, those that are still in the metamorphic stages of their journey to greatness, or those that aim to achieve far beyond our own limited perception of possibility?
All historically great minds; scholars, artists and leaders have been doubted as they ascended their ladders of life, and some had to taste death before savouring the sweet and well ripened flavour of success. Before Einstein was regarded as one of the most intelligent men to ever live he was thought to be daft, before Van Gogh was studied in classrooms and discussed in lecture halls around the world he was tormented, unappreciated and marginalized in his community. If Capernicus, Galileo, Socretes or El-Hajj Malik El-Shabbaz looked at the world through the same lense as those that told them that they couldn't where would we be? If Bootsy Collins, Michael Jackson, or Kanye West did as society expected the music of today would be the music of yesterday and the day before that. If Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglas and countless others didnt abandon the distorted perceptions of the complacent, "realistic" and "normal" people of their time, a black president would never govern the most powerful nation of our time. In spite of all this the idea that "everyone loves a winner" remains true, just as soon as they recognize their victories as such. People will claim a star only when it is high in the sky, and being marvelled at by others, yet no one banks on a star as it rises out of the dust, nor will anyone will help raise it. No one will defend it, protect it or champion it but when it reaches high all bask in its warm light.

Day 2- FREE REFILL Fantom X Brass

This is one of my all time favourite synths and so I figured I would share it with all other producers interested in getting their hands on some good or great sounds. This is a tone for tone exact replica of all of synth brass sounds found on Roland's Fantom X keyboard (facsimile) and it's free, just click the link below to download it.

Day 2-Take Over the World (Mason Payne)




When I heard Mason Payne's Take Over The World a few months back I was thoroughly blown away by the beat (produced by Arthur McArthur of Northern Profit and Mason himself), then I was awed by the lyrical genius that is Mason Payne. As a leader in Toronto's struggle to assert itself as a contendor in the genre of Hip-Hop, Mason Payne's Take Over The World maintains a level of professionalism and skill that has become synonymous with The Western Union, Northern Profit, and HnF (Hustle n Flip). Mason Payne is Alexander the Great on this track...check out the single below and see how he plans to Take Over The World!!!
