In the wake of one of the most high profile beefs in hip-hop history last year, the question of Toronto's hip-hop sound became a topic of discussion around the world in online and in real life forums. Does a Toronto sound actually exist?
Join Before the 6ix hosts Del Cowie and DJ Agile, as they go on a musical journey digging through the crates of Toronto's hip hop canon in search of an answer, with special guest panelist Saukrates, Keysha Freshh and Solitair.
Question and answer session to follow.
