What up peoples. Beautiful sunny day here in the
lovely City of Council Cuts...yes, Toronto is basking
under the glow of an unnaturally warm winter's day
(though springtime is officially next week, so maybe
it's a head start).
The 'BEST KEPT SECRET' gyals are taking a break from
microphone madness and turntable mayhem this
week...I've been feelin crazy under the weather, and
Dalia's swamped with life outside the music thang.
BUT the show will be rockin still, with the sounds of
the talented Sairupa fillin in with dope hip hop, r&b
(not that cheesy shit), and whatever else she feels
like dropping.
TONIGHT ON CHRY 105.5 FM 6-8 PM EST
or
LIVE ONLINE at http://www.yorku.ca/chry
(for those outside a 3-4 block radius - big up Mista
Masuda on that one)

As for gigs...
Check out 'In Divine Style' tomorrow night at the
Hooch, located above Gypsy Co-Op (817 Queen St. West)
with host Mindbender (one truly dope emcee, for real)
passing around the open mic for anyone to get live.
This week the one Masia One will be taking to the
stage for a set, alongside poet/emcee Lucas and a live
band (!) WHAAAT? And all for $5 too? Sheeeeaaaat.
Had a great time there last week...some truly intense
emcees spinning some intense tales. Definitely check
it.
And of course, Monday nights is Chicks Dig It, running
it at Apothecary (340 Adelaide St. W, at Peter). This
past Monday saw special guest DJ Maus from Montreal
throwing down serious d'n'b, electro, and tech house,
and all accounts indicated it was a crazy-busy night
from start to finish! Thanks to everyone coming down
and making Monday nights feel like Fridays...most
props to you!
This coming Monday (March18th) will feature special
guests She Bang!, a local all-female breakin crew, so
definitely come early! Dalia will be toasting up the
decks during their performance (come check out Dal
slangin out the hip hop...going back to the roots! hee
hee) as well as myself breakin out the funk, hip hop,
and general freaky beats. Chocolate, Freedom, Miss
KLC, and Wasabi also on the decks (busy night, yo!).
A cheap-ass pay-what-you-can affair (suggested
donation $2). Reach reach reach!
And a quick mention...next Friday March 22, our very
own Dalia will be getting down on the decks at Jai Bar
for a special night called 'Women on Wax', featuring
some of T.O.'s top house selectahs with the double XX
chromosome count. Ray Persaud, Sydney Blu, and CDI's
AMTrak also rocking that shit all night
long...complete info next week!
Of course, I'm holding it down every Tuesday at Tempo
(596 College St. at Clinton). Jazzed out business on
the soulful, brazilian, fusion, hip hop, and whatnot
(hi Paul) tip. What a combination: saketinis and
Venus! Ahhh heaven... hee hee
Ok, i think I'm done...props to you for getting this
far...
'BEST KEPT SECRET'...hell no, we can't keep it under
wraps forever...
PEACE AND MUCHO RESPECTICO
