Mastermind Street Jam - Homegrown Show Pt 1 & 2 (June '96)



Mastermind Street Jam was a Canadian Hip-Hop radio show aired on Energy 108 (107.9FM), that served the Hamilton, Burlington, and Toronto areas in the mid to late 1990s. 


A few interesting demos were played in these 2 episodes from June 1996 dedicated to the Canadian local scene. My favorite demos are "Rap Assassinator" performed by Explicit and "Let Me Go" performed by 20 Sides. It's great to hear another track from the group 20 Sides, which also had another demo entitled "20 Questions" played by Bobbito in December 1995 on the Stretch & Bobbito Show. Mad Props to Chase March for the uploads.

  1. Yooooooooo, that 20 Sides demo is fire. Wish we knew more about him and had more material to check out, kid was definitely nice with his. The Rakunz joint is pretty dope too, don't really know anything about them other than they were also a b-boy crew, there's a few grainy videos on YouTube from the mid-90's showing off their skillz. Props to you and Chase for sharing.
