Notaurious!!! + Prizefighter + Grand Groove + Sole Purpose Present…

|SATURDAY NIGHT MAIN EVENT|

The party to end all debates. Who had more hits? Better hooks? Hotter lyrics? Best beats?

Saturday Night Main Event aims to answer these questions and more by putting rappers, singers, producers, crews, cities and more, against each other in a musical battle orchestrated by 2 of Toronto’s finest! DJ Mensa and DJ Royale go at it head to head in a four turntable battle.

The night will consist of 3 battles: Our Main Event & 2 Undercard match ups. With both DJs playing back and forth, the music will flow in a normal mixed format (like a normal party, with no breaks/stops). In this battle there is only one true winner: YOU!

This will be one Saturday Night you don’t want to miss!

NEWS LINK – PRODUCER NUJABES DIES IN CAR CRASH

Taken away too soon.

Admittedly, I was put on to his work just recently, but quickly realized his sound was right up my alley. Prolific career, however short it was. For music lovers sick of the status quo fed to us on a daily, Nujabes was the classic example of ‘if you search long and hard enough, you’re going to discover musical gems that you’ll hold on to for a long time.” Cheers to you, Nujabes.

On February 27th, 2010 a cataclysmic earthquake with an 8.8 magnitude on the Richter Scale brought pain, death and destruction to Chile. The current death toll is in the hundreds and growing by the minute. Thousands are missing. This benefit is a unique opportunity for Canadians of every stripe to show their solidarity and to tell the people of Chile that Canada cares as we help the victims of this catastrophe rebuild their lives”

A lot of other dudes have their own respective tributes to Christopher Wallace. A lot of them are much greater productions than mine. But so long as we honor him, any tribute is a good tribute, in my opinion.

So with very little fanfare, I present to you my “Breaks For Biggie” mix, circa 2007.

REST IN PEACE, CHRISTOPHER WALLACE, AKA THE NOTORIOUS B.I.G.

After a successful Toronto title defense last month at Mod Club, your homey DJ Mensa is going in repping the 416 lovely at the national finals of RedBull Thre3Style this Saturday at Sound Academy!

Canada is 100% board with the 3Style movement, and this year, the competition has now become an international phenomenon, with Thre3Style reaching many major global markets for the first time.

The winner of this year’s national finals moves on to inaugural RedBull Thre3Style World Finals Paris, France in December!

With many of the regional winners having storied pasts as DMC champions, Stylus Award recipients, and founding fathers of their respective hip-hop scene, the heat is definitely on.

Nothing else left to do but put your screwfaces on, and put your lighters up!
