Toronto-based [Rodrigo Bascunan] and Vancouver's Christian Pearce run the hip-hop magazine Pound. They know the culture well and show just how big a role Magnums, Glocks and Colts play in the lyrics of rappers like 50 Cent, Trigger Tha Gambler and Tech N9ne. They write in a way that is hard for non-hip-hop fans to get into. Those who may be interested in learning more about the culture are stuck trying to figure out the difference between what's "whack," what's "ill" and what's "dope. Young, impressionable hip-hop fans will likely get the most out of this book as it de-glamourizes the image of "gangstas" with several first-hand accounts from rappers on the dangers of gun use.

To my great surprise, Winnipeg has a thriving cultural music and arts community; it's really quite fantastic for its population," says [Julie Vogelsang], who has hosted about 30 house concerts. "But it's very hard to make it as an artist. This is one of the ways of helping out. There's no middle man, there's no upfront cost, they get 100 per cent of the proceeds. Singer-songwriter J.P. Hoe has played a couple of Vogelsang's house parties. He's a 20-something Winnipeg native who's garnered quite the buzz. His music hits the feel-good button, with a sweet but strong voice and catchy acoustic guitar riffs. The Edmonton Journal said, "He's got a voice that bleeds at times into Rufus Wainwright," while the Saskatoon Star Phoenix commented that his show "showed a highly attentive and appreci...

At home, [Gary Doer] says, his worst habit is "thinking about something else" during family time, such as dinner. "I'll be totally engaged, and then I'll just move off for 20 seconds, and they'll catch me right there," he admits. "My family will snap me back into attention. There are situations that challenge you -- when the water levels are getting extremely high... or if you can't get something settled that you would like to get resolved; say, the human rights museum," he responds. "But if you're representing Manitoba at a premiers' meeting, there's no room for anything except optimistic, well-prepared, confident presentation of Manitoba's views, period. You cannot fly by the seat of your pants in this job." "We had the Miles Mac ensemble there, and they sang Dancing in the Stree...

Almost half of Winnipeg's First Nations live in those same central boroughs. So when [Young Kidd] spits out rhymes about those trials, his audience listens. That's the thing about hip-hop: It can transcend. "I don't know what I'd be doing if I wasn't doing music," says [Frankie Fontaine], who hopes to get his GED after dropping out of Tec Voc in Grade 11. "I'd probably be in jail. On Jan. 23, Fontaine released his third album, 10x10. "I've got a song on there, Hometown. It sounds kind of happy," Fontaine says. "But if you listen to the lyrics, it's all struggles and sad stuff. But I've flipped it so maybe people will be like, 'I went through the same thing he went through. It makes me happy that I'm not the only person that went through that.'" I love that we got nominated in the same...
