Think OTB - D-Pryde
My friend Sam at Think Out of the Box managed to record D-Pryde's entire performance (well practically all of it) at the Odeon. It's one of the top viewed videos coming from Canada today. If you have time at school or at work to take a break and watch this, I am sure you will be entertained by this nerdy Toronto Youtube rapper.

DJ Hedspin - "Otis"
On Wednesday at work JJ stayed later to do his regular routine of reading music blogs. As he was playing random songs he managed to come across this Jay and Ye track. DJ Hedspin is part of the Eh! Team and I do know that he makes a few stops to Saskatoon to spin. This is a real fun and funky version of the original, have a listen and enjoy.

Nike SB - "The Cigar"
Nike SB’s “Cigar” Dunk High Premium is a September quick-strike (limited quantities produced) collaboration by the legendary Todd Bratrud and the SPoT (Skatepark of Tampa). Todd Bratrud being an iconic skateboard artist managed to spark a new idea. You may have seen some of his previous work with Nike such as the “Send Help”, “Skunk”, “Brain Wreck”, and this year’s “Cheech & Chong”. The Skatepark of Tampa helped contribute with their local friends at ‘Ybor City’ (a cigar factory). The “Cigar” plays a large part of Tampa’s past. Tampa was accidentally found for having an ideal climate for cigar production back in the late 1800′s.
To focus on the shoe itself, the majority of the upper is a suede with leather panels that rests on a black mid sole and grey outer sole, while the swoosh is a contrasting team red. When you skate with them, you will soon realize that there is a second layer of material underneath the ‘cigar like blunt skin’ textured leather.

2011 Canadian Super Bike Champion
BMW’s Brett McCormick recently won the 2011 Canadian Superbike Championship for the first time in his career thanks to a decisive victory on Saturday, August 20th. For those who didn’t see the historic event unfold, Brett battled and passed Team Kawasaki’s Jordan Szoke in the last turn resulting in a 0.53-sec victory. This is the first time BMW has won a Super Bike Championship as well. A great present for his 20th birthday, don’t you think? Congratulations!- JJ
I met Brett back in grade nine, we shared a couple of classes together. I remember that he didn't show up for the first week because he was racing. It's funny, almost all people that are good at something brag at what they do. When you're having a conversation with Brett he rarely even brings up his racing. He's humble about his accomplishments and talented at what he does. Congratulations.

J. Cole & D. Pryde
We managed to catch the show at the Odeon this past Tuesday. Rocnation's J. Cole has been on a tour across Canada with Ontario's own D. Pryde opening for him. The show was great, we experience a lot of energy from both the performers and the crowd. Sometimes too much energy from the crowd, I had one girl beside me sexually harassing J. Cole. I recorded the best I could with all of the moshing and being close to speakers. I wanted to help you experience what I did.
