新多倫多 音樂‧籃球‧城市/BUN DEM. TRACK BREAKDOWN, THE RAPTORS AND THE 6 GUIDE


Bun Dem – Lord Juco ft. Falcon Outlaw (prod. by Ol Man 80zz)
https://lordjuco.bandcamp.com/track/bun-dem-ft-falcon-outlaw

Interview : Nick D

We caught this track on the strength of FalconCrest being involved in the mix. Lord Juco’s name had a familiar ring already, having featured on Chong Wizard’s, The Power Stone EP. Ol’ Man 80zz? I swore Jordan C. had his production in a Top10EN, but it must have been his clever flip on the Zig Zag logo that got stuck in the mind! I digress.

To the matter at hand though, Lord Juco’s, ‘Bun Dem’ is a track that exemplifies a stylistic sound of Toronto. That Hip Hop inflected with a strong Caribbean/West Indies vibe. This banga is straight head nod with a minimal beat of 80% slap your skull up drums, and some sinister keys. Lord Juco sets it off callin’ an end to the fxckery he sees, ‘you hide like Anne Frank… put you in a hole like Hussein’. Big Falcon Outlaw fills throughout with his patois chant, and closes with a second verse reinforcin’ why you don’t bring it ’round here. This is some straight 90’s Smif N Wessun ish (Not a Toronto group lol)!

Since all heads were from the Toronto area. We figured why not get all hands on deck to share some insight on the track for ya’ll. Chop it up about some basketball since the Raptors are in the playoff hunt with some real possibilities, and just share a few down to earth recommendations about the city for you readers. Things like some spots to hit on a night out, and where to grab a hearty plate! A Hip Hop guide to Toronto, truly!

SUNDAY SCHOOL. COMME DE GARÇONS SS92 STILL ROCKS

It is true! Fashion is ahead of the curve. These looks from Comme De Garçons look like would fall right in with stylish women today, only that they were created in 1992! Titled, “Unfinished”, Rei Kawakubo’s collection was 144 pieces strong! Predominantly white, what really stood out were these fantastic patterned pieces and accessories. Chinese and Tibetan prints, checks, stripes etc, all mish-mashed together to stunning effect. The zipper usage looks ultra-modern as current designers try desperately to deconstruct and reconstruct something new today. Headpieces…

Yo for our fashion showcase, ‘Rude Boyz’, we are proud to have collaborated with young Hong Kong talent Aaron (IG : @homo_sapiens_idea & @pierboyzz).

It was raw like we liked it! Check him out, a Hong Kong talent on the rise. Speaking to homie, we also found out his love for tattoo art and skateboarding. He runs with a local set, Pier Boyzz.
