Rap

Le 25 mars est paru le tout premier album solo pour la jeune rapper Montréalaise Marie-Gold.

C’est dans la salle comble du MTelus (anciennement le Métropolis) qu’a eu lieu le 15e Premier Gala de l’ADISQ. Pour l’occasion, Pierre Lapointe anima avec brio pour la première fois cette soirée si attendue.

Music affects your frame of mind, can make you happy, anxious, and bring about any other emotion. Here's a review of the past 6 months of music!

With her painfully public feuds, love for explicit language, and controversial past, Afro-Latina rapper Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, better known as Cardi B, may not be considered as an ideal role model for young women by the general public. Nevertheless, the 26-year old New Yorker just made history; at the 61st annual Grammy Awards earlier this year, Cardi B won the category “Best Rap Album” for her 2018 release “Invasion of Privacy,” making her the first female solo artist to ever achieve this. Role model or not, Cardi B’s win marks an important milestone in the history and continuous rise of female rap.

I always have a hard time picking an album to review and this month was no different. I sat with Oxnard by Anderson .Paak for a week, then got hooked up with a copy of Meek’s Championships a day before it was released, only to land on writing about Earl’s new joint. All 3 albums probably reflect different aspects of my taste in music.

6lack took 14 tracks and managed to express the complexity of love in a way that everyone and anyone could appreciate.

Le rappeur de l’heure, Loud, un poids lourd du mouvement hip-hop québécois est venu nous rendre une sympathique visite à nos bureaux du Vieux-Port de Montréal. Généreux et décontracté, il s’est entretenu avec nous le temps de quelques questions.

Much like a certain Canadian rapper, let’s split this into a hip-hop side and an R&B side.
