So let’s continue our little Canadian hip hop odyssey. Edmond Huszar & Will Steep from Ontario kind of rekindled my interest in rap and hip hop earlier this year. I was surfing to and fro, minding my own business, when all of a sudden I stumbled across their band The Girls Can Hear Us and caught up with this killer tune.

Having no expectations at all really – like I’ve said before, I lost interest in the early 80s – I started to listen. And it started in trademark hip hop style, with a few tentative beats and some slick quick rapping. Just when I was about to turn it off, the voice turned urgent, almost pleading. Together with an elegantly building piano, it caught my attention and enchanted me enough to buy the tune another few seconds. Well invested time, I must say.

Becasue all of a sudden I’m caught in an electro tinged banger that entirely blew me away and had me bringing out my air synth in no time… Magic. What do you think?
