(WWETV) It's a Toronto Throwback with Toronto Rappers & Hip Hop Documentary Series with the hip hop originators of the city now known as The Six. In this Now or Never Toronto documentary teaser Legendary Farley Flex introduces you to the men who were the DJ Kool Herc of Canada in that they set up shows and brought American hip hop across from the border.
WWETV recently spoke with Top Secret about the two guys who started it all:
Top Secret: John Facey and Tony Duncan were the two guys that started the hip hop culture for Toronto and quite frankly Canada. I have to really give respect and a shout out to the Duncan family who really gave the opportunity for us to have the parties start us with the movement. Just as in New York with DJ Kool Herc who started out with house parties we mirrored that here just a couple years later not knowing it.
I then became apart of the original generation that laid the foundation by rapping and there is my rap partner and good friend Brother TC. Carl Allen is also the original member that created the frenzy in the city back in the day.
In the teaser in the video above DJ Ron Nelson explains that Michie Mee's start began with Sunshine Sound Crew when she was 13 and 14 years old. You also get a snippet of Sticky Green with a collaboration with Butch Lee who was one of Toronto's first rappers in a song that was apart of an unreleased Smugglaz album "Life We Live" in 2001. You also get to hear from Top Secret aka Ryan Lord the former manager of The Smugglaz who was a founding member of Sunshine Sound Crew.
