INK – The Year You Paid For It
Labour of Love I was camped out in the tent with tons of familiar faces at a night which marked the beginning of the fall season in Toronto. As the annual labour day event it may not have been as stacked as the year before, but who cares; the show was dope, the music bumped, and Tiga is the man.
