    Straight to the straight dope today...no foolin!!!

    It's getting heated with hot sound vibes tonight on the BEST KEPT SECRET
    tonight!. One of our favourite artists that got us yelling at shows in
    respect to the dope shit is none other than Graph Nobel. Girl's got some
    serious moves in this game already, all on the strength of her sharp lyrics,
    tight rhythm switchups, and intense live show. Graph just returned from
    tearing up shows in New York City and Philly after getting busy in the
    studio all summer working with producer Doc, Abacus, Res, and Esthero, among
    others. She's won the CBC's 2002 Galaxie Rising Award for best new artist,
    had major label suits freakin out over her, and continues to defy
    catergorization with her signature stylings on soul, hip hop and rock
    (http://www.blackcorners.com).

    Graph's in the studio tonight to throw down some of her favourite tunes and
    chat about her plans for world domination. This girl is on fire! Trust me,
    you don't want to miss this...

    Tonight (Wed Nov 13), reach down to Parallel Clothing (754 Queen St. W, east

    of electronic jazz and broken beat. Too nice. $6 at the door. Mad love out
    to Denise and Andrew for graciously hosting the Best Kept Secret last Wed.
    Too much fun on the turntables...even despite the request for 'Electric
    Avenue' that painted us into a corner early on.

    Friday (Nov 15)...Mr. Scruff invades Toronto once again for the 'Keep It
    Unreal' tour. Keep those pants loose cause it's all about the trouser jazz.

    your life). Make sure to wish a big fat HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the man
    Rosenpants...birthday kisses to you, sir! Someone's getting drunk that
    night...

    featuring London's 2 freshest underground sounds to date: 2-step/garage and
    broken beat. Ahhhhh yeah! Make sure you wear comfy shoes cause there will
