King Dylan dishes out a royal dose of alternative hip-hop [Interview/Article]

By @IHeartTART in Articles & Reviews, Interviews, The Prairies, The Prairies Feature | 0 Comments

Calgary, AB – There’s virtually nothing that local rapper Dylan Roberts, better known as King Dylan, hasn’t dabbled in. He has taken ballet lessons, trained for professional speed-skating, and holds a communications major and arts minor from the University of Calgary. This ambitious regime translates into everything the king reigns over—hip-hop included. The self-described “alternative rapper” plays piano and bass guitar, while contributing his own lyrics and vocals to his tracks. “I want to try new things. I don’t want to be doing the same rap song over and over again,” said Roberts, admitting that he recently picked up music production and has decided to teach himself the guitar. He also does a killer freestyle to Andre Nickatina’s “Ayo For Yayo.”

By @HipHopCanada in Central Canada, International | 0 Comments

Toronto, ON – Drake continues to build his connection to the leading ladies of the 90′s. His love for Aaliyah is no secret and he’s been connected to talks of her next posthumous project. Back in August, Drake and Noah “40″ Shebib released a new Aaliyah song entitled “Enough Said” which lead many people to believe that an official release was on the way.

Now the young Toronto millionaire is working with the remaining members of TLC for their first album since the loss of Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes back in 2002. So far we know the album will likely feature Drake, J. Cole and Ne-Yo, as T-Boz and Chilli have hit the studio with them just recently. Click here to read more on our new site, RNBCanada.com.
