EdmontonUrbanMusic.ca
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!

Edmonton writer/rapper AOK, writes a children book along with album. The first copies of the book/album will be available Nov 27 and 28 at the Royal Bison Crafts & Arts Fair.
“The project is a juxtaposition of children’s literature, with playful illustrations by Josh Holinaty and a storyline intended to improve kids’ vocabularies, and a rap album (downloadable with a unique code inside the book) that’s not for kids at all. Well, maybe just the wily ones.”

Edmonton vet, Touch releases his solo album, Alienated on Neferiu Records. Have a listen, buy it online or check the cd release party Nov 12 @ Crown Pub.
Touch is a straight-up-and-down “rapper who loves to rap” and isn't afraid to portray himself as such. He's going to call out wack beatmakers and emcees, or any other perpetrators in the game. He's going to make you double over in laughter while doing so with gut-busting puns and disses. He's also going to open up your mind to the world we live in, pondering existence, good and evil and how he fits in. And of course he's always going to rep Canada, Edmonton and his 182nd Street roots to the fullest.
Alienated is a collection of unique and clever concepts coupled with diverse and impressive production, with some help from some of Canadian hip hop's finest talent. There's even a collaboration with New York's legendary Ill Bill, who jumps on the reggae-influenced “Rule the World” with Touch and Edmonton-raised Uncle Howie alumnus E-Dot. This is one of many gems on Alienated, with each emcee describing their own twists on life if they were in charge. Another highlight is “Where's Your?”, where Touch smirks his way through a rundown of what one has to do to “make it” as a Canadian rapper. “Klingon Bastards” transforms Touch into a jaded Starfleet officer who sets his phaser on kill. The title track, featuring vocals from Sabo Forte of Blist, is an epic and eerie glimpse into an alien apocalypse. “Beats” explores the remains of the social networking ghetto known as MySpace, where an excess of terrible producers hawk mediocre beats for bargain basement prices.

From the LBA crew in Edmonton is the Blurb, this a remix of King of Blacklist, re-arranged, editted tracks and cleaned up. It also features other LBA members Max Prime, Add-Vice and Chazmo.
Just re-edited the Blurb solo, if you ever peeped the original it had potential but was a bit long and incohesive, I shortened some of the tracks, re-arranged a few things and made a few cuts.. It is much better now. Anyways go here to peep it and a ton of other cool stuff from Edmonton's original Prairiecore label. http://busshaak.bandcamp.com/album/king-of-the-blacklist
