I woke up thismorning and one of the first things I listened to was some Rascalz, and realized that it was time I dropped an all Canadian hip hop post.  A lot of people became familiar with Canadian hip hop last year when Kardinal Offishall released a single called Dangerous.  It was a bit of a guilty pleasure liking that song, but I will say that it is not particularly representative of Canadian hip hop or even where Kardinall came from.  I’ve included a big cross section of music, almost all of which is from Toronto or Vancouver.  There is some stuff that I was thinking of including, such as ‘Priceless’ by the Rascalz (lyrically one of my favorite songs of all time), but Top of the World is a little more accessible.  Let’s Ride is an absolute classic track that anybody can get in to, and the remix of Heaven Only Knows is just a small sample of the awesome music that K-OS has made (he just released a stellar new album!)

Let me know what you guys like,

Cal
