Maybe it’s something in the water, but the Halifax rap quotient is high for a city of just 280,000. It has consistently produced some of Canada’s most successful artists. I linked up with Halifax’s self-professed “rap legend” Jesse Dangerously for a long awaited interview. For all those not familiar, Jesse Dangerously is a member of the Backburner crew, he’s been a staple in the maritime rap scene and he’s pretty much Canada’s version of the esteemed Treach from Naughty By Nature. This consummate rap professional has released a handful of Lps; his most recent being 2007’s Verba Volant. We discussed his new album, the glory days of underground rap and discussed hip hop’s newest bullshit sub-genre “Nerdcore.”

Well another year is over and bunch of music was released. I sorted through the stacks like I do every year and the following is what I came up with. This has become a tradition of sort over the years. In case you were wondering Third Verse is my Radio show. It can be heard every Wednesday Night at 9-10:30pm cst on CFCR 90.5 FM in Saskatoon or streamed online at www.CFCR.ca. The show has been on the air since 1994 and is currently hosted by me and Nolto. We look forward to another year in rap and I was talking with Noyz and we thought it would be a good idea to share this with you. This is a list that reflects the type of hip hop music we like and play on our show. Enjoy!
