Our team here at I AM IN DEMAND and the staff of WHOLE WHEAT BROTHERS MUSIC went exceedingly hard on this project. All independent musical efforts are not possible without the help of the many people who'll believe in you (especially the members of his crew which Sep calls NevR - a statement of defiance against those who would tell him that his music would NevR happen).
Great things we're accomplished and we've got an amazing mixtape (Drops May 29th) and many more videos to show the public. We didn't want DOT CITY to look like your typical Music Video...so there were no fancy rented cars, nothing spent out of our hard earned money to personify a lifestyle that isn't Sep, all we wanted to do was capture the real candid everyday illumination of the downtown Toronto night. Just him and his boys in the broken down Toyota Corolla coasting through the city streets. We wanted images of Sep that would be more cinematic in nature and that was beautifully captured thanks to the directional eye of Andre Rehal and his crew.
MAY 29TH...

This track is one of many downloads, in fact every Sunday one can hear something new from Sep, also known as Septo. This track is entitled "Back from Exile" feat Ashton Martin. Every Sunday between now and May 29th and possibly beyond; ALL FREE songs (and most of what's leaked is not gonna be on the mixtape) which drops on May 29th. Stay tuned for "Who is Sep - Allergy Pills and Alcohol"
I came by this (via: 2 DopeBoyz.com) and it was dope. The Art Work is dope...and the beat's sporatic natured production was crazy. The track below is from a project sceduled to drop soon called 'Sydney in Theory'

"Sep" was featured in a showcase for Emerging URBAN Artists called: "Follow Your Instinct!" it takes place on the last Thursday of Every Month inside Harlem Restaurant - which is at 67 Richmond Street E. in Downtown Toronto; and it's hosted by Toronto's own, Flow 93.5's Real Frequency Show DJ Musiklee Inzane.
So make sure you come see our artist named Sep (and the many other performances) this Thursday, March 25, 2010 at Harlem Restaurant, 67 Richmond St. E. Toronto. Sep's performance will be backed by a 4-piece band called “The Movement Band”.
This has been a highly anticipated, long awaited for Mixtape (because everything this guy gets on I wanna listen to). He's an MC named Frank Ramz from the Bronx, whose previous work had floored me just when I had begun to turn my ears away from most Rap Music.
I wanted to listen to the tracks before posting as other blogs had already done; so that way I could give you all the run-down on what I actually liked. First off: this mixtape differs from his previous projects because naturally this mixtape is called Frankenstein (it's the inner monster, the beast within, meant to be the more aggressive and tenacious side of Frank Ramz).
Tracks that I liked right away were: The Terrorist, Quick Strike, Monster Bash, More Sober Thoughts, Dope $#!T’ (and especially ‘Give Me Room’ mainly because he shouts me out at the end of the song, and for the record Ramz (if your reading this) the support is always there brotha, just keep making dope music.
About this project he had this to say:
"This tape was basically done in one day, just me letting out a side of me that I usually keep hidden. Me talking a whole lot of sh*t!! But I definitely had fun making it and I hope you all enjoy this. BIG SHOUT OUT to my brother Vick from Reupspot.com for helping me put this one together!
*Frankly Speaking...* & *Quite Frankly...* are coming soon...don't worry, they won't be anything like this. This is like an appetizer and those 2 projects will be the main courses"

Labeled as one of the greatest classics in Hip Hop PERIOD!!!
Raekwon the Chef’s solo effort “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…” still sounds as fresh as it did back in 1995. Enormous wordplay and grimey beats were all a true Hip Hop fan could ask for. Rejoice - a digitized version of Rae’s promotional cassette hits the internet.
This Mixtape has been long awaited for and highly anticipated. JD ERA is one of Toronto's foremost gifted lyricists and in this effort he laces up 13 new tracks. The Mixtape has features from Freddie Gibbs, Drake, Saukrates and production from Boi-1da, Don Cannon, and Beat Merchant. The art work conveys a morbid and haunting imagery, in association to the brand it sponsors called The Villains Lair which you should check out as well. In the meantime...check out the music from 1 to 13.

He's a Prodigy of I AM IN DEMAND.Com and Whole Wheat Brothers Music. This is a view of me on deck as I observe the workings on set, one of the locations was near Dundas Square in Downtown Toronto. We got metric tons of brilliant footage to be edited and I'm hoping my blog readers love this authentic sounding Hip Hop Video (the beat produced by I AM IN DEMAND.COM).
Looking over the drawings (because every proper video has a storyline) and these were some of the depictions that were sketched by the Direction Crew. Working with Director Andre Rehal was a pleasure and a learning experience.

This was on (Day 3) of 'Sep's Video "Dot City" in the broken down Toyota Corolla as stated in the actual song itself...so he's showing you his humble beginnings before you can see his eventual growth as it is right now! Watching Sep's humility while on set was a reminder to me of just how sincere I found him to be as a lyricist, this guy always keeps it 100% real!!!

Director Andre Rehal and his crew took shots from the hood of the car & then they took shots from the side with another kind of Cam, always changing the lens for different kinds of wide views. If you look closely (the picture below) at the display screen attached to the camera you can see a shot captured of 'Sep' wearing his hat while in the back seat...lol.

Needless to say...it was long hours...sometimes repetitive, but overall enjoyable, because nothing feels better then the feeling of accomplishment. And after each of the shoots on each of the 3 days we'd all go out like one big family and have a celebratory dinner (Mozel Tov), excited about creating another piece of what will be Toronto's legend.
Everyone whose plugged into the nostalgia of underground hip hop has heard of JAY ELECTRONICA and his tracks entitled "Exhibit A and Exhibit C" - songs that have been co-signed by some of the biggest heavyweights in Rap, proclaiming them among the other gems created with producer 'Just Blaze' as "straight classics". Instrumentals to these classic songs have been leaked and I must say that there are a lot of rappers making (EXHIBIT B.S) out of what are really dope songs by the original artist.
But every now and then there comes along a version that might catch your ear, and one such version heralds from Toronto, Canada, spawned by the lyrical mind bending genius of a rapper named SEP, who comes in on the second verse; after the feature of another talented up and coming rapper from Toronto named Ashton Martin. Needless to say I was thoroughly impressed, and I had to sign this brotha to my management company right away...and he's now I AM IN DEMAND.Com affiliated.
Every Tuesday - Free before 9:00pm @ Where Else Pub & Lounge - and that's at 3351 Ellesmere Road in Toronto; there's a premier weekly showcase called Roc Da Mic. Below there is a snippet of a performance by Sep at Roc Da Mic where 'Sep' won the competition and has been deemed Artist of the Week.
Lupe Fiasco who has been releasing various music via the internet over the past few months has given his fans a Thanksgiving treat with his new highly anticipated mixtape, Enemy of the State: A Love Story, which features eleven new Lupe tracks, some of which use beats from today’s biggest hip-hop artists such as Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, and The Clipse. Lupe has also announced via his Twitter that he will be releasing a follow up mixtape on Christmas Day.
This is a dope project from a Portland producer named Lawz Spoken (I've known about him for sometime now and it's good to be hearing from his music again). Guest appearance’s on this album come from the likes of Sapient, illmaculate, Only One, Okwerdz, Epp and more. Be sure to download this underground gem, the production is not bad at all.
