Straight to the straight dope today...no foolin!!!
It's getting heated with hot sound vibes tonight on the BEST KEPT SECRET
tonight!. One of our favourite artists that got us yelling at shows in
respect to the dope shit is none other than Graph Nobel. Girl's got some
serious moves in this game already, all on the strength of her sharp lyrics,
tight rhythm switchups, and intense live show. Graph just returned from
tearing up shows in New York City and Philly after getting busy in the
studio all summer working with producer Doc, Abacus, Res, and Esthero, among
others. She's won the CBC's 2002 Galaxie Rising Award for best new artist,
had major label suits freakin out over her, and continues to defy
catergorization with her signature stylings on soul, hip hop and rock
(http://www.blackcorners.com).
Graph's in the studio tonight to throw down some of her favourite tunes and
chat about her plans for world domination. This girl is on fire! Trust me,
you don't want to miss this...

Too much fun on the turntables...even despite the request for 'Electric
