The album earned a 4 star review in Eye Weekly, charted as high as #2 on the national college charts, and the group made URB’s Next 1000 list. They also performed on MTV Live and had Myspace and Youtube features.
In addition to being a group, Slakah the Beatchild and D.O. are
also solo artists.An accomplished emcee, D.O. he set a Guinness World Record by freestyle rapping over 8 hours and 45 minutes. In 2007, he released his debut album The Northstarr featuring the hits “Young Brother” and “Defy the Odds.”
Peep his new video:
Slakah the Beatchild is a Juno award-winning producer contributing to Divine Brown’s 2008 “Love Chronicles.” He’s been featured as producer on Juno nominated recordings from Shad and Ebrahim. Signed to BBE (Wil.i.am , DJ Jazzy Jeff), his debut album Soul Movement has been met with critical acclaim worldwide.
Peep one of his videos from that critically acclaimed album:
These two prove that Canadian talent is and can be very genuine. Keep up the good work guys. Their new album, entitled “Back to Earth” features appearances by King Reign, Tona, and JD Era.
Here’s a sample of that very song for you.
Art of Fresh – Get Money feat. Tona and JD EraAs a whole the album sounds kinda like lounge music to me; and I love to lounge. You could easily put this album on when you’re at a summer backyard BBQ, or just having friends over your loft apartment for apps and drinks recommended by Bella (ICU!).

This Week @ The Movies: Public Enemies
This movie has such an all star cast that it is hard to believe.
I guess when other actors heard the immortal Johnny Depp and the caped crusading Christain Bale were the two leads, they rushed to be a part of this.
I spent most of my time watching this amazed at all the familiar faces rather than being intrigued by the story of John Dillinger.
The cast includes appearances by…pay attention to what movie/show I site them in, because those are their best.
Peter Gerety (The Wire)
Domenick Lombardozzi (The Wire)
Leelee Sobieski (88 Minutes)
David Wenham (Lord of The Rings)
Stephen Dorff (Felon)
Channing Tatum (A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints)
Shawn Hatosy (Alpha Dog)
Giovanni Ribisi (Boiler Room)
Billy Crudup (Almost Famous)
Rory Cochrane (24)I could go on…
The music was great, featuring more than one cut from Jazz Blues Songstress Billie Holiday. In the scenes when such classics are playing, you are treated to the most sincere moments of truth about the american outlaw, the law dog, and their mutual crises of conscience regarding the cost of the war the waged; namely human lives.
That may be the only good thing I have to say about this film.
Oh no wait, Dillinger’s love interest in the film, Marion Cotillard, who I remember from her role in A Good Year, was still very french and very hot. Je t’adore.
Other than that, the movie is painfully slow, far too long with a running time of 1 million hours, predictable, and then there’s the way it was shot.
In the trailers, this unique camera picture looked refreshingly real on the big screen. When it came to watching the movie it was still cool, save for in the action scenes when it felt like I was watching Cloverfield again or playing a first person shooter video game like Call of Duty or Halo.
It was a huge let down story wise, not that I was looking for anything terribly unique in the gangster genre. And I know this was based on real life events and people, but throw me a frickin bone will ya? Pause.
I guess the only treats are the music, the wardrobe (a simpler time when men always wore suits and fedoras and women always had on their sunday best dresses), and of course l’amour de ma vie, Marion Cotillard.
2/5 Bo-Ty’s because it have been so much better with just a few more weeks of editing.

Go DJ!!
Honestly I almost… ALMOST gave up on Toronto’s party scene, simply because I’m tired of hearing the SAME music over and over again. I mean I love “lollipop” and “a milli” but there is OTHER MUSIC OUT THERE! And Lissa knows this.There’s no question as to why she’s the Stylus Awards 2009 Female Dj of the Year.

Turquoise Amber Rose
Regular AmRose @ BET Awards…I kinda of love it. “I” don’t wanna be green but i think it works for her.. plus obvs its not permanent and just for fun!! Amber Rose, you’re a bad bitch! I hope I run into you in LA 🙂 Word on the street is that she just got signed with FORD models. So…. you were a stripper in Philly then because of your royal flyness, you get noticed by Yeezy and now you are a model for realzy. That’s basically a great summary of how things work in Los Angeles it seems. UM.
