TRU-PAZ go LIVE!!

Last night was the first perfomance with a live band for toronto based Tru-Paz in front of a enthuasitic grassroots crowd at Revival. Producer/DJ Unkown was like a conductor as he navigated the 5 piece ensemble while he played keys and diced it up on the 1's & 2's.

Akim the emcee seemed to get more energetic with each kick and snare from his drummer, while the soulful Boosie chanted melodic hooks and versers from classic tracks 'Black Rose' & 'Hotel Hell'

With the assistance of a funky bass player the rap-group trio was able to hypnotize and command the infamous 'screwface capital' crowd to sing-a-long to classic hip-hop its from legendary artists to the to their soon to be classic 'Young Nation'.

This spring/summer you definitely need to be on the look out for Tru-Paz as they undoubtedly will be performing throughout Canada with an eclectic grassroots show.

Don't Sleep!

Ain't No Use - A Kid Tryna Make It...

If you've just awoken from a coma, been under a rock or just not part of the T-Dot scene then you've have one of 3 valid excuses not to know about a dude makin some noise and coming with a new direction with his rhyme style and approach to the rap game.

Here's a preview and he'll quickly remind you where you can get more by his trademarked incessant holleration of "It's the KID!!! www.thekidfamous.com"

Its So Hard For Our "Young Nation"

"Young Nation" by Tru-Paz
Take it In.

Long Shot. Good Shoot!

Innovative, creative and refreshing all around... the track and the simple splicing of an obvious home video of young Colin Munroe reinforces that you don't always need a million dollar budget to create effective videos. Don't sleep on Colin Munroe or Joell Ortiz!

Sound Junction - Randomness of the Week

Organix|Night Life|Great For Our Planet

The words ‘organic’, ’sustainable’, ‘green’, and ‘zero-emitting’ are catch phrases drawing the hip and cool of today’s environmentally-aware populous to anything the words are attached to. This has spelled opportunity for companies that can reinvent (or simply re-brand) their product lines to attract this market segment.
Club ‘WATT’ (AKA MyTown or Nighttown) in Rotterdam - Holland, is one such business. Through successful collaboration with the Technical University of Delft in the Netherlands, WATT is promising to sport the world’s first ‘Piezo-electricity’ dance floor. The dance floor harvests energy from the vibrations created by dancing clubbers and uses it to power the club’s own LED lighting.
The Toyota TVC below features an animated showcase of the technology.

The dance floor is not the only sustainable aspect of the club. Dutch architect Henk Döll is the visionary behind the club’s design, and has creatively integrated the latest innovations in sustainability to reduce the use of energy and water and decrease waste production. He is a founding partner of project SDC (Sustainable Dance Club) along with ENVIU. The project aims to ‘green dance clubs worldwide’.

Club WATT opened its doors on September 4th, 2008 to a 2000-person capacity with a bang. Reportedly, Amy Winehouse opened the Rotterdam dance club for the sum of 350,000 Pounds (around $700,000). Of course, club owner Aryan Tieleman is pleased with the media buzz and free publicity so far.
