Classified’s - Long Road To The Top by Michael Raine
If hip-hop is a young man’s game born in the New Yorks, LAs, and Atlantas of the
world, then why is Canada’s hottest rapper a 35-year-old living with his wife and two
kids in the tiny Nova Scotia town of Enfield? Indeed, things are going well for the artist
born Luke Boyd.

Escape From Band Limbo: - Learn To Rehearse by Luther Mallory
Most musicians don’t get the minions or the diamond castle. In fact, most fail at the

Take five guys – Colin James, Grant Siemens (Corb Lund), Colin Cripps (Blue Rodeo),
Luke Doucet (Whitehorse), and Travis Good (The Sadies) – get them talking about
their guitars, and before long, you’ve gathered enough material to write a treatise on
each player.
