Rapper Drake pulled out all the stops at his latest staging of the OVO festival (held in Toronto) this year. The artist brought out some of the biggest names in hip-hop and R&B and had the audience going crazy the entire time. Some of the acts that graced the stage are YG, DJ Khaled, J. Cole, Jhene Aiko, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Trey Songz, Usher, Tinashe and Ms. Lauryn Hill among others.
MJMagazine had the opportunity to speak to some supporters of the event and everyone seems to be impressed with the surprise performance of Ms Lauryn Hill who they say “killed it”. Here is a small clip of her performance at the festival.
Conscious hip-hop artist Lupe Fiasco just dropped the brand new video for his track “next to it” which features Ty Dolla Sign. Since the release of the video some of Lupe’s fans have been expressing disappointment with claims that the rapper has sold out.
After carefully reviewing the video, we here at MJMagazine thinks it is a smart strategic move by Lupe Fiasco and his team as they seem to be doing things to ensure that the artist stays relevant. Anyone with knowledge of hip-hop life and culture who carefully listens to the song will see that Lupe Fiasco is still “keeping it real”, the message has not changed.

The combination of humility, charm, vibrant, passion for music, respectfulness and appreciation for life and the universe, are only some of the facets of Anaicon’s personality that appeals to anyone who comes in contact with him.
Born in St. Ann, Jamaica, Anaicon is a Rastafarian who accepted his name through divine revelation. He has been called to utilize his talents to create and perform Reggae Music for the edification and upliftment of not only the oppressed and those claiming African descent, but for anyone that can hear and perceive.
Anaicon entered the Magnum Kings and Queens Talent competition in 2013 where he was a formidable and impressionable contestant. He advanced to the “Face Off” where he was eliminated due to his positive lyrical content as he does not believe in or support artist bashing each other in the name of music.
After his appearance on Magnum Kings and Queens, he approached Osujah Records to prepare demos but was instead welcomed and embraced and made a part of their musical family. At Osujah he found the portal to launch his music to the world. He is now signed with that label.
