MC FÜBB
Rapping since the age of 15, MC FÜBB (pronounced “emcee foob”) began taking his career as a hip hop MC seriously after graduating from the University of Toronto in the spring of 2009. In Sept. 2009 he dropped his debut EP Foundations, and followed up with his mixtape Blue Collar Worker in May 2010. He founded a hip hop community called Hip Hop Headz (H3) with which he started the event THE CYPHER, where MCs/rappers come out to showcase their talents and skills. In combination with his fellow H3 members, THE CYPHER has grown to become a staple hip hop event in Toronto, one which FÜBB hosts and freestyles at monthly. His first full length LP In the Face of No Agreement, a collaboration with Brampton producer Noyz, was released in April 2011 under his self-owned label Revolutionary Times Records (RTR). Whether laying down his poetic, intelligent, and intricate verses in the booth or just freestyling in a cypher, MC FÜBB brings a level of intensity and skill to be reckoned with in the world of hip hop.
With a passion for developing and building up the hip hop scene in Canada and specifically in his home city of Toronto, MC FÜBB has partnered with Mediazoic to create H3 Radio (click ‘Play’ in the tuner above), a station that plays only the highest quality hip hop, mostly of Canadian content. H3 Radio’s aim is to give exposure to talented hip hop artists by playing music of various styles and backgrounds together on the same station, regardless of the size of the artists’ followings or endorsements from the media or other people in the industry. Submissions to H3 Radio are judged primarily based on one factor: the quality of the music submitted. “Does the artist have something to say in his/her lyrics? Is the production tight? Is it creative? Is the track dope?” These are the only questions that matter when selecting music to play, as far as MC FÜBB is concerned.
“It’s time to start playing artists who merit play-time based on their talents and skills – not based on all the other factors that have nothing to do with the art itself.”, says FÜBB, “It’s time to turn the status quo in radio on its head and continue to transform the music industry.”
