Four decades of Edmonton hip hop, one stage, one night.

This isn't a showcase, it's a family reunion for a scene that's been building since a Brooklyn DJ first spun records on campus radio in 1980.

Nine of the city's rising voices hit the mic: Jayme Minor (YYC temporary Import 😎), Trip the Rabbit, 587 Jasper, K, BYE, Margui d la mas Peluché, R-NINE, D-NiAL, and Jimmy "Carbon", hosted by MC Jordan Morgan.

That's the current generation. Here's the twist: we've invited THREE Edmonton's actual hip hop pioneers, the artists who built this scene before it had a name.

RELLIK - With a career spanning 2 decades and decorated with 11 awards and 35 nominations, Rellik has solidified his presence in the industry. Boasting nearly 1000 performances and 5 albums, RELLIK, a proud Métis, stands as a prominent figure in the Indigenous music scene.

TOUCH182 - (Randy Mark) is a veteran hip-hop artist, producer, and local pioneer from Edmonton's Treaty 6 Territory. Known for gritty, sample-based beats and sharp, introspective lyrics, he is a fixture of the Western Canadian underground hip-hop scene and a respected West End Edmonton mentor, radio host, and visual artist.
