The elusive second album from Halifax’s first gangster rapper Local Dre. Tape saw a very limited release and Dre pretty much quit rap after it for some reason. Been looking for this one for ages… thanks to GDub for the hookup.
reup!
The undeniable master of the Donair Burger likes many things. Walks in the alley, pickle dogs, free weed and rap music. In 2005 Fatt hooked up with Moves, Aidan and a few others to bring us life is…, out on futility records. (wait…what?? it was more than a message board????)
The big homie is still making some music, and be sure to catch him in a 4 am call buddy freestyle session in a town near you soon.

Dopest crew outta canada ever. nextra.
From Kelron–
…the committed, dedicated, battleworn soldier on the artwork had been through enough to know to have his shit together in any event. That’s why he’s polishing his boots at night by lightbulb readying for another day on the frontline. That was Nextra circa 2003. We had been recording and doing shows together as Nextra for at least 10 years by that point…some up to 5 years longer than that. Our shit was polished but we were battlescared. Freedom Sold Separately …meaning you have to pay for your freedoms …meaning the rich are free and everyone else is soldiering on.
Group Consisting of Voodoo(Universal Soul) , Sha-Naka & Brucie , from Halifax Nova Scotia 1994 Ceasefire Records(Local Dre). Pick It Up is essentially a diss to Hip Club Groove for using the same song chorus(kinda) as Bassment Unit on the Haltown Meltdown Tape. The Song was “Who Got The Soul”- Bassment Unit and “Soul Providers” – HCG Dope Cassingle if ya ask me

HIDE YOUR BOOZE AND MOUSTACHE DYE!! THE HOMIES THE DRUNKEN ARSEHOLES ARE BACK IN EFFECT!!!
Big moves and CEE!!!!!!!! put out a 7″ actual vinyl record called “Fuck the Powers That Be” recently and it’s one you should definitely be copping. Not only because it’s the beats are dope, CEE!!!!!!! is one of the craziest rappers of our time, and long time low pressure family Tachichi rips the mic, but it also features the one and only fool actin, Compton, Californias own legendary King Tee!
Really!
You can grab the digital album but why not go all out like it’s 1997 and buy the fucking record??

We are loving Ottawa these days on Living Underwater. Here is Skirt wearing MC and Nextra member Eternia with her 2005 Mixtape where I been.. the collection.
Actually on the inside of the cd it says this is not the album… this is not a mixtape.. this is the collection.
Pretty much the only place on the Halifax radio dial to listen to hip hop in the early 90s was on CKDU. Dj Critical (Buck 65) had the dope show on Tuesday nights, and once a month he and Dj Jorun would set up 4 turntables and just go crazy for a while. This is one of those shows, September 1992.
Ripped from a cassette 2 diff sources so side 2 prob sounds abit different but whole album nonetheless. Local Dre was the first Halifax , Nova Scotia “Gangsta Rapper”

Dance Appeal was formed in 1991 in support of an application to the CRTC for Canada’s first urban radio station. The bid was actually lost to a country station but the video, which features many Canadian stars of the era from multiple genres, did receive plays on MuchMusic.

Way back in the day I lived in Ottawa for a hot minute. That’s right around when Organized Rhyme first came out, and they also had a weekly rap radio show. I came across a tape today and thought I’d rip it and share it.
They get silly in the middle of this one. No tracklisting cause all rap from this era was dope.
Found This Recently. Halifax, Nova Scotias first try at Hiphop nationwide . Canadian, dope, rare and different than the 12 inch version – Big Moves

Fresh “off the boat” from Trinidad in 1992, Manchilde performed his first show alongside Thrust and Ghetto Concept, opening for Black Moon and Pharcyde. Upon relocating to Mont Real, Manchilde hosted club Metropolis’ Savoy Room where he opened for The Roots and Guru. By 1997, visits to NYC found Manchilde nabbing first place at the spoken word slams of the Nuyorican Poets Café. In 1999, Manchilde is featured on the nationally released debut album of Muzion, on BMG.All the while, Ziploks had cut similar ground as the hypeman and stage personality of his first project Def Threat. Ziploks was the one to coin the name Butta Babees. In the spring of 1997, the Butta Babees began their Sunday night Ill Groove Garden hip-hop radio show on CKUT 90.3 FM, where they’ve made a rawkus on live air freestyling with the city’s talented underground. Several productions of Manchilde and ZipLoks are featured on WordLife, Tales of the Underground Griots, a regional compilation of beats and poetry. -(taken from artist bio)
