This is a site strictly dedicated to urban artists residing in or whom have developed in Edmonton, AB. Also known as 'deadmonton' due to our generally bleek winter night life, and super high homicide rates, artists here tend to have a lot of time to develop their skills yet remain off the radar within the urban genre. From our international sensations like Cadence Weapon and Kreesha Turner, to our up and coming sensations like Quanteisha Benjamin, to our dark underground hip hop scene, Edmonton has a lot to offer to the Canadian urban scene. We just need the promo!
