By @HipHopCanada in Central Canada, International, Mixtapes / Albums, Mixtapes Feature, The Prairies, The Prairies Feature | 0 Comments

Winnipeg, MB – What a perfect release for your 4/20 playlists. Zone out to the smooth vibes of Scarborough-native R.O.Z’s new Mo Piff mixtape. The 15-track release features some great guest appearances including .380 Degrees artist Big Lean, Styles P, Smoke DZA, Peter Jackson and more.

Flat out, after releasing R.O.Z.’s Piff Music 1 and Piff Music 2 mixtapes, the young EMB artist has become one of the most popular on our site (determined by our web traffic stats). Progression is key as R.O.Z. seems to increasingly develop the dynamic of his sound and has obviously taken notice to which songs his fans have responded to the most. As the saying goes, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Award-winning DJ Dames Nellas

Mo Piff was mixed, arranged and hosted by award-winning Toronto DJ, Dames Nellas. Nellas won the 2012 Stylus DJ Mixtape of the Year award for the Hip-Hop Ain’t Dead It Lives In The North Volume 4 mixtape.
