Adam Bomb: My thing is legacy over currency

In nine days, this years Juno Awards take place in Hamilton, Ontario. Among the rap nominees, are some of the best in the Canadian scene. Ironically, they are all from Toronto and surrounding areas. Which in my opinion, the GTA has some of the best artists in the business. Not to exclude the east or west coast, because the Canadian scene as a whole is taking over. Toronto is just the hub of it all.
Performing a song off their nominated projects, Saukrates, Naturally Born Strangers (Tona, Adam Bomb, Rich Kidd) & Tre Mission head over to CBC Music HQ with Marco Polo who runs the boards on the whole ordeal. What happens next though, is a time stamp in Canadian rap history as we get to hear them all go in on a cypher. With Saukrates setting it off, followed by Adam Bomb, Tre Mission than Tona. As each emcee goes in, it's evident why these guys are nominated for Rap Recording of the Year. Also nominated, P Reign who is currently on tour with Drake in Australia & New Zealand. Rich Kidd is out in LA who is part of the collective, Naturally Born Strangers. If both of them were there also, it would be even crazier!
Take in the cypher and let me know who you think is going to win at the Juno's on March 15th. Tre Mission - Stigmata
Naturally Born Strangers - The Legends League Presents: Naturally Born Strangers
P Reign - Dear America
Saukrates - Amani
Marco Polo - Port Authority 2: The Directors Cut
We’re back with another edition of The Come Up Show Podcast. Last week, we brought you a #ThrowBackThursday interview with Yelawolf. This time, we catch up with Toronto rap supergroup Naturally Born Strangers (Rich Kidd, Adam Bomb, and Tona). Listen to the podcast below and read what Chedo had to say about the interview:I recorded this interview at the first show the boys did together at the Mod Club, whenever you sit down with Adam Bomb, Tona, Rich Kidd for an interview you know it's going to be an entertaining conversation. The different topics we went over were about how the NBS album reinvigorated all the artist energies, why the liquor Jameson was their drink of choice, the vulnerabilities the artists had to shed for the album and much more. Take it in, also my interview with Bryan Espiritu is coming very soon so subscribe to The Come Up Show Podcast and take in the definition below of what Naturally Born Strangers means. Naturally Born Strangers represents those born and raised different who don’t associate themselves with the common communal circles. It’s a proclamation of pride in the power of being disliked, unwanted or obscure, weird or foreign to the norm. It’s for the stranger and the more strange, the new community of outcasts, the antithesis to the neighborhood and the cynics of its circles. NBS is the umbrella title to those influenced by much, deterred by nothing and unknown the world over.Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes: https://bit.ly/TCUSiTunes
Coming off a successful mixtape release, TheLegendsLeague Presents: Naturally Born Strangers (consisting of Rich Kidd, Adam Bomb and Tona) had a pop-up shop and concert event on January 31st. Some of us from the team made it up to catch the event and me being one of the one's who didn't make it, all I could do was catch photograph's randomly throughout the night and that was enough to make you wish you were there. Setting up a pop-up shop for TheLegendsLeague exclusive Naturally Born Strangers merchandise, selling out the MOD Club, it was a very successful night for all of them.
Taking a quote from a recent interview I did with Chef Byer, "That’s a testament to the amount of talent this country has and the area of Toronto has. I f*ck with Adam Bomb,I f*ck with Tona, I f*ck with Rich Kidd. Those guys are really dope artists from the city. It’s good to see those three receive that kind of recognition. It’s a sign that people are really paying attention to these artist’s with integrity in their craft.". I couldn't of said it better myself.
If you were one of the people who attended the show, check out the video from that night and let me know what memory you have of that night. If you were like me and didn't make it, see why you should definitely go next time. As Adam Bomb, Tona and Rich Kidd perform "Jameson Ave" to close out the night. We also have some dope photo's from that night you can check out also.
