WaSun: EARTH MOTHER – Album Review⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Leave a comment

Always by WaSun

The Underground King of Toronto

With previous heavy hitter releases, and re-release of Prison Notebooks, WaSun’s latest, is in his words, his best album: EARTH MOTHER. Getting into the tracks, the overall vibe is of a soft beach and warm sand. I am in love with this album. To the soul of the broken-hearted,  this album hits home.

WaSun wrote a personal album, about his life. The hardship he describes via this album can only be felt by listening to the songs. Tell me which ones you listen to on repeat. currently mine is Always.

Old School Hip Hop and social justice movement is WaSun’s background and life. He is a modern warrior for us all. Support his album, released by TAOT RECORDINGS – Shout-out Righteous – Shout-out: Street Hop & DJ Carmelo. This is the album we all need to nurture our hurt wounds and find the strength to move on. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Album of a lifetime. Epicness surpass WaSun’s new release EARTH MOTHER-find it on streaming platforms. Support this GREAT, CANADIAN! Torontonian, multi heavy-hitter albums – check out Prison Notebooks, Comrade Music, What Must Be Done –

We are on the phone with ES and Shark, and DJ Carmelo shared some of their tracks, so very cool–and we had fun being in the video for Razor’s Edge, which was partially shot at Ouroboros earlier in 2024. Ability comes in to studio and performs live, TJ and Gaga the King also kick it with Carmelo.  Joga’s shares: STREET HOP the song he wrote for Carmelo.  We share JAYCEN’s tune Catch me if you can!  HolliZay arrives and marvels us all by her live performance! Thank you Holly! Last but not least WaSun and Righteous!! Worth the wait.

Thank you DJ Quanta

MG 08 – War Metal – on CKMS Community Connections with Yenny

Leave a comment

From mg08.site:

“Hailing from the frozen depths of Canada, MG 08 is a one-man war metal band formed in 2023 by Tom.Kpfw. MG 08 attempts to capture the essence of brutality and horror that is warfare.

The name, MG 08, draws its moniker from the iconic Maschinengewehr 08, a German machine gun used in the First and Second World Wars.

Through blistering guitar riffs, thunderous percussion, and screeching vocals, MG 08 pays homage to military history in every song.”
