Listen: Edmonton on Blast

July 19, 2010 by Brad Crowfoot  

Seems that there is a controversy brewing over an interview that happened on the Missing Link on CJSR. KazMega responded with a track from a thread on hiphopcanada.com because of what was said.

What the fuck did I tell you guys? Stop poking your head into Canada like you mean something. Once again I’m left to apologize for how fucking wack my city is. Go back to your “studio” and drop some “bangers”.

Touch – Friendly Fire

KazMega response to Friendly Fire

Touch for whatever reason decides to stand up for Nova Rockafeller (???) and gets it. This will surely be an interesting battle series as both Touch and Kaz are well seasoned battle emcees
