I'm still recovering and feeling very inspired from this year's Manifesto, couldn't believe the festival turned seven already. Shouts to the staff, volunteers, partners, and everyone involved in making it possible. I started my Manifesto weekend by attending "The Beat" on Friday which featured Sango, Lancescape, Sunclef, Rich Kidd, Elaquent and Rich Kidd. Saturday I took down some great notes at the panels and Sunday was Live At The Square. Check out the photo gallery below by our photographer CZR-E from the performances at Live at The Square featuring acts such as John River, Wolf J, Freedom Writers, TFHOUSE, Kardinal Offishall, Solitair, Blake Carrington, Raz Fresco, Notes To Self, Jully Black, Jhene Aiko, and Souls of Mischief. Let me know if you were at any of the events and what your favourite performance was.
When I found out Friday a new joint featuring Raz Fresco, John River, Rich Kidd, and Blake Carrington were going to release this weekend in part of Manifesto weekend I couldn't wait to hear the song. Noisey had the pleasure to premier "How Could You Judge Me?" which is produced by Soze and you'll notice the Jay-Z sample from "Blueprint (Momma Loves Me)". Tell me what you think of the joint and we just posted the Manifesto set times so you want to see performed live for the first time then come out to Dundas Square today.
Nowadays it seems like everyone can rap over a beat but to produce it and direct your own videos takes true talent. Straight out of Toronto comes the MC with his crew “The ΒΛΚΞΓ$CLUB” packing visuals and bars that stand out from the rest. By using wavy and lush samples along heavy 808s, it's clear that Raz Fresco has a distinct sound. With almost 6 mixtapes under his belt, and the PABLO to drop, he's not slowing down. Take a listen to "salmonILLa" off The Popcorn Tape which was produced by Raz himself. The video was shot in Toronto but this time directed by PRIME.
Bakers Club members Raz Fresco of Toronto Canada & ChillxWill of Tacoma Washington drop their new mixtape, "The Popcorn Tape" which is entirely produced by Fresco. Stream/download after the jump.
