By @AmaliaJude in Articles, International, News, Staff Picks, West Coast Canada, West Coast Feature | 0 Comments

Vancouver, BC – Legendary B-boy and artist Dedos has been working on his Hip-Hop Icons series for a minute – pictures of Public Enemy, Eric B and Rakim and Maestro Fresh Wes are already in circulation. His latest masterpiece pays homage to the Beastie Boys, and Dedos says of the piece, “I figured with the recent death of MCA it would be a good time to remember them in this light… as with all these artists I’m doing it’s really as reminder of that golden era during the late 80′s through the 90′s.” According to the artist, “I thoroughly research all my pieces, and will hunt for the details of things like Ad Rock’s tee shirt. A lot I use from memory when I was a kid and I still have old books with these artists in them that I can reference.” Want a print? Check out the rest of the Hip-Hop Icons series HERE, along with a vast portfolio of other great pieces from Dedos.

By @IHeartTART in Atlantic Canada, Interviews, The Prairies, The Prairies Feature | 0 Comments

Calgary, AB – Halifax-born, Calgary-based William “bRavenous” Mosher gravitates towards everything hip-hop-related. Whether he’s spitting the microphone at 10 at 10 Hip-Hop Showcase or opening for touring acts (like the highly anticipated M.O.P. show next month), Mosher can always be found supporting his fellow rappers and the urban scene that he is so evidently passionate about. Don’t worry, though, east-coasters—Mosher still sends his love.

Though he is now proud to represent Calgary, he has “crazy love for Nova Scotia— always.” HipHopCanada caught up with Mosher to find out more about his new album release, adolescent rapping days, and his talented artistic wife.
