Shot in the Kingston and Galloway area of Toronto, also known as G-way, it was important for P Reign to go back to the neighborhood where he was raised. Many dream of achieving great heights and being able to reach beyond the negativity that plagues the areas from which they hail. Of the very few that actually make it out, even fewer come back. P Reign understands the importance of embracing his beginnings and the impact that role models can have.
T.O. Don’t Love U by Ideall Clothing touches on the idea that it takes much more energy to hate everyone than it does to like nobody, and often Toronto’s biggest issue has been taking too much time disliking one another and not spending enough time showing respect where it’s due – especially to those in the GTA.

“Even though this is an unofficial video which was simply created by a devoted fan, it still got me pretty amped about the upcoming 2009/2010 NBA season. Even though I might have many doubts about the “new look” Raps and may not be the most devoted fan, I still have to root for my home team.
The 2009/2010 NBA season is almost upon us, what do you think about the upcoming season? Do you think the 2009/2010 Raptors are going to have success this year?
Let’s go Raps!”
P.S. Cavs is my team too, don’t get it twisted. Le’Bron <3.
Canadian gold-selling rapper Belly recently wrapped up shooting the video to his current single “Hot Girl” featuring the legendary Snoop Dogg. The video, directed by award-winning Canadian director Randall “RT!” Thorne was an all-day shoot and took place in Toronto, Canada on Tuesday, September 15th. RT!’s vision for the video was unreal. The video features females painted in platinum, gold and black taking Belly’s and Snoop’s hand into a new fantasy. This was RT!’s 100th video as director, and it was nothing short of exceptional.
The song itself is produced by Da Heala and is included on Belly’s upcoming mixtape with DJ Smallz ”Back For the First Time”, featuring work with artists such as Drake, Kurupt, Stack Bundles, and of course Snoop Dogg.
The mixtape between Belly and DJ Smallz Fear Factor: Back For the First time will be released on October 27th 2009. Here’s a song off the mixtape.
