Montreal, QC – Meek Mill (@MeekMill) kicked off his first Canadian tour on Wednesday (20th) in Montreal for a sold out crowd. Marcus from Long Life Productions (@LONGLIFEPRO) was in the building and captured Meek opening his set with “Dreams and Nightmares”, the intro track from his debut album Dreams and Nightmares, followed by “Ima Boss”. The gang police squad were also called to the show and had to use pepper spray which sent the crowd rushing out the door. Watch all the footage below.

With juggling weekly meetings, managing a website, and planning events for hundreds of people Natasha takes refuge in urban music. Researching and knowing the latest headlines, and newest tracks in the hip-hop world is something that she loves. But more importantly for her hip-hop is a lot more than just a genre of music, it is a culture and it has shaped who she is today. Finding a way to combine her passion for music, the knowledge she has gained from working with young people and the issues she has seen in the community is a goal Natasha would like to achieve in the near future. Recently, Natasha has taken on PR work for rappers and DJs.
