Over the past few weeks, Toronto has been plagued with gun violence. That resulted in the untimely loss of beloved Toronto rapper, Smoke Dawg, and respected artist manager, Koba Prime.
On Thursday, July 19, MTM and Norfside proved that, within the midst of tragedy, the hip-hop community in Toronto has the ability to set aside their differences, and put away the drama.
The first ever Lituation In The 6 showcase featured an energetic performance by Blacka Da Don who brought out some of Toronto’s emerging young artists including NojokeJigsaw, Homie, LB, Bally, Jayy Brown and Young Dirty for surprise performances.
The event also featured a turnt up performance from Yung Tory and a very powerful performance from Cheffie, who left fans wanting to hear more of his rawness.
