Exclusive 3 hour set:

MASEO (Long Island, NY) De La Soul - Bear Mountain

Vincent Mason aka Maseo aka Plug 3 returns to Vancity after two sold-out DE LA SOUL shows in 2002. If you were at the second of the two, you witnessed Maseo take over The Commodore's Disco Night after the early De La Soul show. And you would have saw him rock an impromtu Old School vs. New School set, not relinquishing the turntables until he had the 1000+ people in attendence + the 50 people on stage shaking their asses all at once! He just sold out Toronto's Roxy Blu club, rocking a 3 hour set last February and you can expect the same outcome here in Vancity!

IRS (Toronto, ON) Monolith - One Rock records

Irs is no stranger to Canada’s urban music scene. For years they have been the forefront of the Canadian hip-hop underground, expressing their talents as part of the Scarborough hip-hop crew Monolith. They were featured on Kardinal Offishall's classic "Ol' Time Killin'" and as a result, were seen all over North America via Muchmusic & B.E.T. In March 2002, They were awarded the 2002 Future Shop – Future Stars Award at Canadian Music Week. Irs’ reputation among Canada’s hip-hop community is one of respect, true musical talent, and underground status. Their "We Don't play" video can currently be seen on Muchmusic

MASSIVE MONKEES (Seattle, WA) 2000 B-Boy Summit Champions

Seattle's #1 B-Boy crew has brought attention to the 206 by winning the 2000 B-Boy Summit 2-on-2 battle and Motion 2001. They can currently be seen in DJ Kemo's "Clash of the Titans" video featuring Free Agents.
