I was riding in my boy Justin’s car, going to a club, most likely late February. He started asking me if I heard about this guy who’s on Degrassi, he just came out with a mixtape, raps a lot about Toronto, and he’s about to throw a party with LeBron James. I was like “Huh? What kind of Toronto guy has reach like that?” The truth is, unless you were a hockey player or a celebrity from out of town, no one really noticed you in Toronto.
And I had never watched an episode of the new Degrassi so I had no clue who he was talking about. Anyway, I ended up forgetting about the conversation. Later that week Justin texts me to ask what I think about the mixtape and tells me it’s still available to download online for free. Click.
