Hopsin performs in Toronto at the Phoenix [Video]

By @HipHopCanada in Central Canada, Event Coverage, Feature, International, Sponsored, Video, Video Feature | 0 Comments

Toronto, ON – Hopsin performed in Toronto on January 10th for the first of 3 shows on his mini Canadian tour. The Funk Volume family, which consisted of Hopsin, Dizzy Wright and DJ Hoppa (unfortunately SwizZz wasn’t in attendance) performed a turnt up set at the Phoenix Concert Theatre. After their last show in Toronto was cancelled in October due to a problem getting across the Canadian border, their fans were anxiously awaiting their return. To make up for lost time they put on a no holds barred show with crazy antics that included multiple stage dives, lots of crowd surfing and a rap contest. Hopsin hand-picked several fans to come up on stage and give their best shot at 16 bars while the crowd judged with boos and cheers. Overall, they put on one of the best shows I’ve ever seen, very original and so much fun.

Check out video footage below shot and edited by Trayne Films (@TrayneFilms) of MSTRD Media for HipHopCanada and hit the jump to see a couple photos taken by Dizzy Wright and DJ Hoppa from their time in Toronto.
