Another thing I thought I should add,, is whatever your doing In Canada you gotta do it different.

there has been no big hip Hop out of Toornto cuz no one is really doing too much differnet. Adn only the catz who are, are the ones getting signed. I don't mean signed to you Local Rec company that cosists of a guy in a basment with a mic and a computer or a small $10,00 studio setup.

I mean signed by a mAjor like EMI,Sony, BMG etc...

Look at K-os hes pretty dang sick man,, and his albums are extreamly detailed musiclly as well as lyrically and most important they SOUND DIFFERENT from any other album thats out there in Canada... He has his thing... he works it to a Teee...

Look at Kannan he did well with his small release, he toured did shows. And most important thing I noticed about his album was again... it was different. the music was different.the main single was so unique sounding and he told you that in the hoook... with the reference to the guitars and shit and he also said fuk what you think I like the guitars and stuff... thats creative... thats why it went and took him as far as it did.. Lets face it it wasn't promtion that made it sell.. In canada good luck getting promotion for a hip hop album or evern a rock one. THeres no money here for that.. In canada you make it as a showman or a writter...

TO make it in canada in the Hip Hop world you gotta sound different in the Music and the writtings. Its the only way....

if you don't have that going you just another basment Rec company, trying to look massive.....

thats my 2 cents.... I gotta get back to mixing... Im mixing and building SFX for a TV show...

thats how you get paid in this Bizz in Canada TV and Commercials.... hahaha theres no money in music.... hahahha

but you can still have your passion on the Side,,, thats what www.somuchsoul.com is for me my passion and FUN and believe it or not we have made a small amount of money fromi itunes sales in the UK and Japan... very small though
