DMS Battle Ring : The Hearbeat Of Montreal’s Rap Scene

The DMS Battle Ring is your one stop shop for both entertainment and to appreciate the underground hip hop scene at a deeper level. Battle rap is probably the most competitive art form you could think of. What you could perceive as just two individuals disrespecting each other but it’s deeper than that : it involves skills and showmanship. Often ignored by mainstream media in my opinion but yet DMS provides a platform where battle rap is now alive more than ever in Montreal.

2 weeks ago we were invited in what will turn out as a new page in Montreal’s hip hop and thanks to the good people at DMS we were on stage to witness this moment. For the second time around, Da Main Source gave a chance to a Montreal’s emcee to go against a big act from the battle rap major leagues. The 21st edition of their well known battle rap event was taking place at Le Belmont and they brought the one and only Big T directly from Chi-Raq for the occasion.

You Had To Be There!

I must admit, I was already a fan from the start and yes, I was watching the battles religiously while wondering when I’ll have the chance to see it for my own eyes (the law of attraction is real believe me). I didn’t really know what to expect at first, I knew a couple of the guests such as Izzy-S, Imad, Mi Tha Don who was the main act against Big T but nothing really prepared me for what this rap arena is all about.

I mean, the energy, everybody went bars for bars, the crowd’s reaction when that slick rhyme kicks in was priceless and the level of talent coming from the emcees is something that leaves a question mark on my face whenever I think about the lack of support that some artists get in Montreal. I think the two main acts definitely delivered a good show check it out here :

They also brought the «crème de la crème» to judge the battles. It was 3 generations of rap aligned in the same row; they had Imposs, Kasper & Lost on stage. Live performances from Izzy-S & Bilo Da Kid |previous interview with him here | and for the first time ever in Montreal a female battle too!

DMS Battle Ring Put On For The Culture

As a fan and hip hop enthusiast I would like show respect and my personnal appreciation for what Da Main Source stands for. Da Main Source to me is more than just a movement, they’re the CNN for what’s going in the city urban & hip hop wise. They work hand in hand with artists to promote them and they offer them a real chance to let the world know their talent!

Question Of The Day : Who should’ve won that battle according to you?

Malefycia Is Restoring The Feeling, One Spooky Scream At A Time

Long are the days when I was cruising down the streets on October 31st either looking for candies to devour for 3 weeks straight or even as an adult looking for a popping club where I could tell people ”My costume is ME tonight”.

The truth is, I think Malefycia restored something that I thought was buried inside me. They reminded me that not only I liked Halloween but I just couldn’t find an alternative in my adult life to spark my curiosity on one side and get the thrill going on the other.

Malefycia been around for a minute but this year they’re trying something different…I mean different.

You’re familiar with the 7 sins in the bible don’t you? You’re aware of what a haunted house is supposed to be don’t you? Well, something in their team had the genius and actually vicious idea to combine these two things who might have nothing to with each other on the outside looking in but in this new adventure/haunted house experience; it all make sense!

their show called V7CE is cross theatre performance, cross the most scary thing you’ve ever seen. The show includes different scenes and interactive plays putting on the forefront the 7 sins from the bible.

What always stand out to me when it comes to Malefycia, is there raw and authentic attention to details.

Do yourself a favor and come immerse yourself in this universe and your inner child and your thrill-seeking inner adult have some fun.

The city has been quiet fashion wise over the years and as platform that mostly talked about fashion in its inception, we’ve felt it the most over here.

There would be sparks of hope here and there but besides Festival De Mode & Design, not a lot of things really stood out.

When I heard about ”The Glitch” it’s like I knew what it was about without nothing what it was about.

I mean good branding is good branding but it was more so who’s behind the good branding this time around. I had the chance to work with Myraï Lavoie in the past and one thing I can is : there’s a method to her madness.

Every artist has an eye and that eye is shaped by our views of the world and life experiences. Myraï had an interesting life.

One where being different is actually the move. One where if you don’t fit somewhere, you don’t try to get in the mold, you bend it.

For all the lack of support or misunderstand she got in Montreal, she found a place to be creative working or being in room with the likes of Paris Hilton & P. Diddy to name a few.

What she’s learned from coming out of her shell and experiencing the world she’s about the share it with us with her own fashion called ”The Glitch” tonight.

”The Glitch” is exactly what I thought it was going to be. A standout experience and experience and something you’ve never seen before just like its creator.

Sometimes the depiction of such reality is either unfair or made to look down at somebody. Other times, filmmakers have the challenge to depict a reality in a way to uplift what other cultures are bringing to the table.

Milan Bihlmann and Muammer Yilmaz are two filmmakers who know where they stand when it comes to that.

Rêves D’Afrique” is the epidemy of that. The two filmmakers decided to go to 7 countries in Africa to not only paint the picture for the world but to give the good people out there something we forget to give one another : ”a piece of yourself’.

Armed with a backpack, film gear and true altruism, the duo spread love and good deeds wherever they could throughout their trip.
