Big week for us at the Real City Countdown. Not only did Masters at Work apologize last weekend for the fact they have not truly been supporting our local talent, but we have our first Hall of Fame inductee this week with Magnum’s Expos Fitted reaching it’s 10th week on the top of Countdown. Basically if you make 10 weeks at #1, we will retire your song and it will sit with the best of the best in our HoF. Don’t worry this doesn’t mean that the song will not get anymore play, but simply move on to let some other people take the reigns. This week we had special guests Cali aka Merker Madness, Boy 6lue and the homie Rico Blox in studio. We got more in store for you this fall Montreal, stay tuned…

Legendary artist Kurupt will be hitting the stage for the first time in our city at Le Belmont (4483 St-Laurent, Corner Mont-Royal) on Thursday September 9th. Performing alongside the DPG rep are local hitters like Magnum, SRH, Blurum13, JSeven and Murderface, hosted by the homies from Hindu Kush and DJ Budda Blaze. Tickets are on sale now at the regular spots around town for $25 in advance, and should be selling out fast so make sure you got yours before it’s too late cause capacity will be limited. Shouts to Good Friday Entertainment who stays putting on for our city.
Finally Montreal has an anthem to be proud of, Magnum’s new single “Expos Fitted” that has been killing the air waves and been all the hype this summer. Here is the official video from Justin Agustin, which you can see on Much & Vibe as early as next week. How could we forget to shout out all of the supporters who came out and helped with this video, and of course Dirtwork for one of the hottest beats of the year. There will be some remixes dropping soon with just about everyone from Real City, so stay tuned for those as well.
Please people, help your city and support by purchasing the single in iTunes and help put us on the map once and for all. You can do that here, or via your iTunes app.
It has been a very healthy week in Montreal hip hop, thanks to Team New Money. For those who have been hiding under a rock all week, you can get the gist of it over here. I would like to thank all of the supporters who have been down from day 1, and also the haters for giving us all this free promo. Big things are coming in the future and for the first time in as long as I can remember, the scene is starting to look a bit more promising in Real City. Couple new-comers this week but Magnum is still holding down the top spot for the 9th week in a row, which is currently a record for us as I.Blast was #1 for only 7 weeks.

The homie C4 is re-writing the way mixtapes are done with this one. He went out and got just about all the heavy hitters in Canada together on this one tape, over his banging production… The C4 Experiment! I guarantee there is a little something on this tape for everybody, so make sure you download this and play it with the volume up high.
To download we will be forwarding you to the very sick Flash site that C4 has put together for this, which is a must see.
Hip hop has come so far over the last 20 years that it sometimes boggles my mind. I guess that’s why it makes me so happy to see Canadian talent making major moves and putting on for their city. Toronto’s femcee Eternia has been on the scene for years, but recently linked up with producer MoSS and the rest is history. At last, no pun intended is their new album and has been all over the internet with huge singles featuring the likes of Joell Ortiz, Lady Rage, Rass Kass, Jean Grae and Rah Digga. If you like quality Hip Hop, I mean solid flow and punchlines over banging beats… make sure you purchase the At Last album and help support the Independant.
Montreal is doing it big right now… in music and hockey anyway. Here is the first single from the upcoming project with escapeMTL & C4 called “The C4 Experiment“, featuring some of Real City’s Finest. Remix will be coming soon with some other of your local favorites so be on the look out for that. I keep saying it’s going to be a hot summer, do you believe me yet?
I don’t think I need to speak on the huge effect that Guru had on Hip Hop, not only was he one of the leaders of the new school… but his music helped shape the whole game itself. I also don’t think I need to discuss how sad his passing has left everyone… so DJ Critical Hype decided that he should do this blends edition in dedication to the late Keith Elam aka Guru. May he rest in peace and be remembered forever…
Another huge blends tape from none other than the Godfather of Blends, DJ Critical Hype… with one of the best emcees of our time Talib Kweli. You already know the drill the homie flips a bunch of Talib’s best verses over new and old instrumentals… it goes a little something like this…
