Canada, similarly to the
US, has several cities that are its hip-hop hot spots. While there is not nearly
as many, and nor are they nearly as saturated with artists, most music fans can
name at least an MC or two from Vancouver, one or two from Montreal, and maybe
three or four from Toronto. However, unless you are a Canadian, or are deeply
into underground hip hop from the late ‘90s, you are not likely to know that
Halifax, Nova Scotia boasts an established scene full of
talent.
Yep, you guessed it; we’re
mentioning all that because ChanHays is a Halifax native who was a part of that
scene with his group Something
Good in the early ’00s. He eventually left the group with the goal
to spread out and work with heads from all over. And that is exactly what he
did. On top of working with some of the best MCs Canada’s East coast has churned
out (Saukrates, Ghettosocks, TaiChiChi), he went and got a who's who list of our
favorite true school MCs from across the US for his upcoming album, Here.
There are so many dope names, I can't list them all, I am just going to hit
you with the impressive tracklist below.
ChanHays had this to say
about the variety of sounds and depth of talent on the project: “I wanted a wide
range in the sound to showcase my production. I feel I can do it all. That said,
there’s a continuity throughout the tracks and the artists featured. These are
artists I’ve been a fan of for years and I think I’ve given them backdrops on
which they can really flex.”
Today, Mass Appeal
premiered “New Bag,” which features the in-demand duo of the moment, The Cool
Kids. If you didn’t know, Chuck Inglish and Sir Michael Rocks dropped their
reunion album last Friday and it shot straight to the top of the iTunes Hip-Hop
Chart. The Kids play their part and kick lavish raps with as much nonchalance as
humanly possible.
ChanHays
debut album, Here, will be released on
10-20-2017.
