Genre: Rap
Record Label: Funk Volume
Finally! A rapper that is not afraid to show his dark side and not afraid to show that he has problems in his life, just like the rest of us and not claiming to be the richest or most gangster individual out there. Hopsin's raps have this intensity and brutal, inhumane flow that just takes you back to Eminem's Slim Shady LP and Marshall Marthers LP. He is a lyrical monster, which he shows in his song, Sag My Pants, where he took shots at a number of well known rappers, Lupe Fiasco, Drake, Lil' Wayne, etc. It is an admission that he's not the guy ur parents want you listening to. He is the type of rapper that doesn't give a damn about anyone, he is taking shots at Eazy-E 's wife, who signed him to Ruthless Records for a few years and never did any promotion for him apparently. He has a song called Kill Her, directed at Eazy-E 's wife. He is definitely a talented rapper, with some management and a little polishing, he definitely could be a legend, at least if the world is ready to let go of the superficial bubblegum rap and let someone come out and 'air their dirty laundry' and let the music touch a soul and make you feel something rather than just to dance, because these days I cannot find a rap song that will make me want to just chill and listen and absorb the lyrics and envision it, except from what I've gotten from Hopsin.
Hopsin produces music that you can relate to and understand, and we need more of that.

That is just one of his masterpieces, my favourite song by him is Nocturnal Rainbows

Hunter city madness \m/
Current Location: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Genre: Heavy Metal
Band members: Justin Gow(vocals)
Jordan Gow(Guitar)
Kyle Johnson(Guitar)
Sean Strasbourg(Bass guitar)
Mike Jelkovic(Drums)
Hunter City Madness, first of all I must say they totally rock but nothing especially new, I have come to realize. I found out about this band in the most random way ever and when I eventually listened to them, it surprised me how good they were.
So I found out about Hunter City Madness from a sticker they had on an Ottawa OC transpo bus, it caught my eye, i think the name was what got my attention. So I took a pic with my phone and tried to makes sure I remembered to check out their myspace page, I was having a rather shitty day, and then got home and decided to check out some new music, and what I heard made my day. I was so shocked at how good they were and surprised at why these guys weren't big. Firstly their artwork caught my eye and made me smile then I got to the music, Old habits of young lovers was the first one I heard and then Pleatherface(you can listen to it at the bottom) came on and I got off my ass and began headbanging and slam dancing, and I just wanted to trash the place. They definitely made a great 1st impression on me.
They are a sick band, Justin has such a strong voice, brutal growls, to match his extra bad ass persona, Jordan's singing, which is to a minimum, adds a certain pinch of soul to their songs, although I must say their heavier songs are the best of their work. The instrumentals on the other hand are perfect, the assembly of all the different parts, the 2 front guitars, for the melodies, they do a fantastic job synchronizing with each other, that is Jordan and Kyle(the newest member in the band). The drums are fast and brilliantly done, and of course the bass for the extra heaviness, done fast and when you see em live you just feel it in chest, then you know its time to rock.
I had the pleasure of seeing them live, along with a few other bands, 2 of which I think are worth mentioning, Ecliptium and Be The Saviour.
My verdict is that this band is really good and kick ass, and I'm glad they are making some headway, hopefully I would be able to say "I called it", when the world is loving their shit. Check them out on their myspace:
