Your boy,

Bumpy nose Joe

I just wanted to give you some good news!  Over the weekend, C4 participated in New Industry Canada’s Producer Challenge featuring 16 of Canada’s top up and coming Hip Hop producers. The event was judged by none other then signed artist Mic Boogie, The super talented Richh Kidd ( Who also performed that night) as well as Toronto’s own D-Sisive and London representative, Shad K.

Here are my personal thoughts on the event :

Judging system 

Instead of numbers, judges had mics so that they could give their feedback properly and interact with the crowd. I think that numbers are stupid. No beat is a 10 and no beat is a 1.  It might be good for hurting someone’s ego and getting them to work even harder but it doesn’t say much about the work. I think this system was made by producers who know that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. 

Audience:

The london crowd was pretty hype and respectful even if they didn’t like your beat. Everyone was there for hip hop and the growing interest in production. Last but not least, I am so happy that the crowd included ladies for once! I’ve been to a few battles now and the girls usually look like they were beaten and dragged there. Thank you to the ladies who were in attendance and made the crowd just a little less intimidating to look at. 

Competitors:

Overall, I think that the competitors were well picked. There were some crowd favorites who hailed from London but in the end Toronto took the cake as Big Pops faced C4 in a 3 beat final battle for the title. Like all battles, there were some bruised egos, some questionable calls and some upsets. I have to say big up to Mr Magic who got upset in the first round against Neena. Both had crazy beats. I’d also like to send a shout out to Vokab who held it down even though he lost in the first round. He’s dope and could’ve made it  further. You never really know what can happen at these battles and that’s why I keep going back wether I win or lose. 

Here are the videos which have been released so far.

Thanks to Tony Tsvardaris for his support and abundance of technological toys.

FINALS AGAINST BIG POPS COMING SOON!!

Congrats to Big Pops, HNF and all of the competitors, performers and judges. Big shout to Ruggedone from New Industry Canada who organized the events .

I’d like to say a huge “kiss my ass” to the sound guy who kept messing around with my volume. Once during the Neena battle and the next ( and worst time) in the finals again Big Pops. I heard he was trying to get more money from the promoters because of the night’s success. Gross.

Yours truly,
