If you were to cross paths with
Jorun Bombay on the streets of Halifax, you'd never know he's one of the most important figures in Canadian hip-hop history.

It's only fitting that his greatest contribution to Canadian hip-hop has been playing the background role as producer, deejay, and mentor, helping countless other artists – from Juno Award-winner
Classified to three-time Scribble Jam champion
Skratch Bastid – see the spotlight.
After more than two decades of propelling others to success, however, Jorun's own spotlight may soon be getting brighter than ever. Read on after the jump.
