In the pilot episode of our show, we introduce our definition of "Real Rap" while spotlighting an artist worthy of the title.
But the thing is... he's not just a master of Hip-Hop; From his humble beginnings, he has risen, not merely as an artist but as a beacon in the local independent music scene and beyond. Winning awards and giving back twice as much.
Today, we shine a spotlight on Devious One, a raw and gritty MC from Toronto, Ontario.

So, why did we choose him to kick-off this podcast? Why will he go down with the greats?
Each phase of his journey resonates with passion and devotion to his art.

Let's begin our journey of Hip-Hop together, shall we?

There's a reason Devious One was chosen to kick-start this podcast, he stands to join the pantheon of Hip Hop legends.

We also talk about the concept of "What makes a Rapper Real?" and unveil our first "Hip-Hop High" Segment, where we dissect the distinctions between Rap and Hip Hop, exploring their nuances and interconnected roots. Why, you might ask, did we earmark Devious One as our debut Golden Mic Inductee?

The answer lies in the potency of his music.

In a world brimming with sound and rhythm, Devious One epitomizes the essence of contemporary hip-hop. Through the gravelly timbre of his voice, he boldly proclaims his truths, never shying away from confronting pressing issues. A beacon in underground hip-hop, he has rapidly ascended, marking his territory as one of the most refreshing and avant-garde voices in the industry.
