It Lives In The North Vol 3 (FREE DOWNLOAD) « itlivesinthenorth
"Hip hop lives as we live the culture. While Canada hasn’t historically topped the charts, hip hop is very much alive in the north. We’ve never pretened we were short on critics, but the enthusiasm, energy and progress shown over the past decade is proof of progress on all sides of the culture. With that, Hip Hop Ain’t Dead It Lives In The North Volume 3 is now available for download!
The third installment of this series is birthed from the cultural clothing brand of the same name. Well established as a powerful idea, It Lives In The North uses the music to prove the message once more. DJ Dames Nellas, known for his incessant cross country touring, orchestrates the mixtape which features over thirty artists including Kardinal Offishall, Rich Kidd, Classified, Drake, P. Reign, Belly and Luu Breeze. Even a few artists from south of the boarder made the cut on collaborations like “Making A Killing” by Vado and Luu Breeze and “In The Morning” by J. Cole and Drake.
“This mixtape is an overview of the kind of dope music coming out of Canada,” says DJ Dames Nellas (www.theofficialdj.com). “There really isn’t a dull moment and I hope people internationally catch the vibe.”
This volume also includes exclusive tracks from Rock Da House and Bishop Brigante along with unique interludes featuring King Of The Dot battle rappers and a conversation between It Lives In The North founder Jonathon “Bizz” Brown and the legendary hypeman/rapper Spliffstar.
It Lives In The North co-owner, Jesse Plunkett offered his take on the mixtape: “For years now It Lives In The North has strived to promote Canadian hip-hop and implement a sense of pride, via a widespread fashion statement, for the talent and culture that exists in Canada. The latest volume of our mixtape does just that and Dames Nellas is the perfect DJ to have on board for the project. It’s worth the FREE download.” here : http://itlivesinthenorth.com/?p=28

Take in his Bio written by @ThatsBizz
Logik Dat Lad has that "listen to me" voice with that "look at me" swagger. There's a certain brashness to his melodic rhythm that balances the conscious elements of his raps. Somewhere between poetry and cipher tactics, Logik hits his groove. With a radio friendly sound, he's not so much a threat, but a welcomed addition to the popular musical landscape of the day. Balancing his popular music sensibilities with his substance-oriented lyricism means Dat Lad is about to be what's right in hip hop. The Toronto native came up in a house dominated by music, under a father who spent much of his time promoting local reggae shows and DJing himself. The apple didn't fall far from the tree when Logik and his brother King Cut tip toed in front of the turntables and first dabbled in musical creativity. By seven years old, Logik was tagging along with his father for late nights behind the 1s and 2s. "As far back as I can remember I absorbed the influence music could have on people," says Logik, now 23 years old "I was always happy around music, simply because of its power to bring a group of strangers together in a big room and have them all laughing and dancing like they were old friends. That was always cool to me." So at 14 years old, Logik formed a group called "Buckshot," with his brother and three other boys from his high school. Using his father's equipment, they recorded over popular songs, critiqued each other and created rough mixtapes to give out at school. But rapping for daps at high school wasn't enough, so when two members fell the waist side the remaining members made a pact to take things to a new level. In 2003, the group was changed to Cut Throats and a new day started. Kicked off by a few local performances, the group began to see some progress as Logik led the way creatively. Cut Throats since released two mixtapes: "The Final Cut" (2006) and "The Game Is What The Name Reps" (2008) to positive response and step by step gained the contacts and placements to establish notoriety in Durham Region, just east of Toronto. By late 2007 and into 2009, Logik and Cut Throats opened for Wu Tang, KRS One, Joe Budden as well as fellow Canadian Choclair, as Logik blossomed as a confident, rousing performer with material to match.
