Universal Soul

Universal Soul (yes, that's their real website) is from Halifax, a growing centre for great Canadian music. They produce good hip hop together that functions. Also check out Classified, for your Canadian white MC needs.

Now, from Chi-town (Chicago, where I had the opportunity to go this weekend) comes the band The Changes. I don't know much about them, really at all. They played Lollapalooza unsigned (the only band to do so) and garnered Stephen Malkmus' likening. This next song is sweet.
