Can't say much about this show. Pete Rock decided not to grace us with his presence until about 1:45am that night when his set time was suposed to be around 11:30-12... Although I have mass respect for Pete Rock, I think he may need to hang it up if hes gonna keep doing shows like this.

Check the rest of the pics here.

Low Level Flight Live @ Super Market

Before this show I had only really known Ryan Malcolm as the winner of the first "Canadian Idol" TV series, after which his single went 5 times platinum (selling over 50,000 copies, 40,000 in the first day) back in 2003. Ryan is now the lead for an alternative rock band called Low Level Fight who's first album "Urgancy", when released in 2007, peaked on the Canadian Top 100 at 21 with the single entitled "Say".

Whoa_is_me_remix_523

Check out this remix from Alex Suarez of Down With Webster's "Whoa Is Me". Pretty sick, feeling the old school 8 bit video game style vibe. You can check it out on Down With Webster's website here (http://www.downwithwebster.com/news/whoa-is-me-alex-suarez-remix-free-download/).

Enjoy.

Miles Jones Live @ The Drake Hotel

My boy Miles Jones does it again!

As a childhood friend of Miles, I've had the privilege of watching his creativity grow from a "crowd killing" battle emcee to full fledged Rapper/Songwriter/Producer. With two albums out now (One Chance and Runaway Jones), Miles is definitely staying  true to the game while staying fresh in an environment that is always changing.

This show was hosted at The Drake Hotel Underground, which made it painfully challenging for me to take pictures due to lighting constraints. But with that being said, the place was packed. The show included a majority of the songs from Miles' new album Runaway Jones as well as some older tunes from One Chance performed by his supporting band and DJ (DJ Serious). The show it self was sick and true to the Hip Hop form including a pair of break dancers that killed it half way through Miles' set.  Miles, definitely had this show planned right.

Graff Alley – Queen & Spadina

A bit South of Queen St. W, from Spadina to Portland, this alley is filled with some of the most amazing graffiti I've ever seen. I got there a bit late in the day so I had to work quick before the sun went down but I shot some amazing pieces. From cryptic lettering to some more contemporary pieces, this alley is a tribute to Toronto's graffiti scene. Check out the entire set on my flickr here.
