Lancecape releases the 5th single from Return To The Classics. “Face To Face” uses a Rene Costy sample and features Dan-e-o.
Featured on this track is none other than the Lyrical Mastermind himself, Dan-e-o. Being an MC for well over 20 years now, Dan-e-o is no chump when it comes to shreading a topic. “Face To Face” is much more than a concept. It’s a raw, uncut battle track taking aim at people who choose to call him out over social media rather than saying it to his face directly. Dan-e-o has had enough and has finally addressed the issue and feels anyone he may be talking about can get offended. But if they’re an MC (as they claim to be) they can keep it Hip Hop and settle it FACE TO FACE!

Hamilton’s Elley Jeeze and Toronto’s Fundamental have released their new collaborative LP, H.I.T.S. (Home Is The Start). The album is produced entirely by Fundamental.
With this album they both wanted to show how their sound, opinions, and lifestyle have been formed through the city’s they claim, the people they’ve grown up with, and the company they keep. You put those things together and you’re bound to get some great authentic hip hop. Lyrically, musically, and sonically Elley and ‘Mental made sure to attack each song as if it was it’s own separate event. Constantly out doing the last track, the title “H.I.T.S” began to just make sense on so many levels.
The 12 song album sees Elley Jeeze spitting on every track, while Fundamental makes spot appearances on the mic. There’s one lone feature from Toronto Hip Hop artist, Big Scen (“Broke as Fuck” ft. Sean Price). All songs are produced by Fundamental.
