So its that time of the year again where DJs from across Canada meet in Toronto for the Stylus DJ Awards. Starting in 2006 the Stylus Awards have become a major event in the hip hop/urban music scene supporting and recognizing the amazing pool of dj talent the nasty north got. Bigup to Click, Mike Z and Scratch for getting this started. Each year young cats get to meet and learn about the foundation soundcrews that made the leap from funk to hip hop, making hip hop possible in Canada. Back in 2007 they inducted into their hall of fame the Killowatt soundcrew.... check out their trophy pictured above. Killowatt was very influential in laying the foundation, and opening the doors to the ladies (Lady P and DJ M&M) in the early 1980s. The awards go down tomorrow with legendary soundcrew Maceo being inducted in to the Hall of Fame...more on this after I interview Maceo...
