NoBad Space Sound | Sep. 08, 2014 | NoBad Sound Studio • Mariel Rosenbluth • Strange Froots • Tshizimba
I probably should’ve mentioned this sooner… but I’m in a musical girl group now.
YES YOU READ CORRECTLY.
I (PassionFroot), along with SageS (StarFroot) and Naïka Champaïgne (DragonFroot) form Strange Froots!
We were formed under NoBad Sound Studio back in June, in conjunction with Maison des Jeunes de la Cote-des-Neiges. The latter being my hood, it was only a matter of time I shed light on the talented folk ’round these parts, namely Mariel Rosenbluth, everyone’s favorite photog sweetheart; and Tshizimba, an NBS beatmaker/MC/comic nerd on the come-up. The Strange Froots will be working very closely with these lovely talents in the near future, but for now, join us this Saturday at NBS for an anti-colonial hip Hop show [3732 De Courtrai]!
And watch out for our debut EP launch, happening September 19th!

On my final stop in my Ancient Egyptian travel, I decided to visit Nubia or the Kingdom of Kush. This is stop is one that I could not wait to visit. As Nubia has many ancient cities like Meröe that host the Pyramids of Meröe. These pyramids are out number the ancient Egyptian ones. Although they are smaller in size than the ones in Giza. Because Egypt and Nubia have ruled over each other for thousands of years, so it would make sense that they have pyramids also! The King of Kush Aspalta has said “Our lord is here with us, but we do not know him! Would that we might know him, that we might enter in under him and work for him, as It-Tjwy work for Horus, the so of Isis……Let us give praise to his two crowns (Aspalta, 600BCE). In Aspalta phrase we can see that both the Egyptians and the Nubians both worship Egyptian gods and goddesses, his phrase included Horus and Isis. This can be accounted for with the Nubians were evidently well known by repute in the Southern Egyptian city of Aswan, and their geographical distribution may account for this; across the Northern Bayuda Desert and to the vital routes linking Moröe with the Northern Nile and Egypt (Kirwan, 46). The Greek geographer believed that the city of Moröe is inhabited by Ethiopians as this comes from his quote “I went as far as Elephantine [Aswan] to see what I could with my own eyes, but for the country still further south I had to be content with what I was told in answer to my questions. South of Elephantine the country is I habituated by Ethiopians (Herodotus, 430BCE). The Greek believes that Nubia is made up of Ethiopians which could not be the case as the Nubians are the ones who consist of Nubia. This is because Nubians next appear under the name ‘Nobades’ a Greek form of Noba, in the well-known Greek wording of ‘Silko, king of the Nobades and of the Ethiopians’ in the lower Nubian temple of kalabasha, now rebuilt on the outskirts of Aswan (Kiirwan, 47).
to the anon who saw a pretty brunette wearing designer walking nylander's dogs - there is a video posted on tiktok by NOBAD (thehockeyguys' apparel line) and there is a pretty brunette in the background of one of their videos with william who looks like she's maybe holding onto a dog's leash? is that the same person you've seen walking his dogs? if so, they are definitely together because no way he's bringing a random dog walker with him to an all star weekend PR event
Anon, is this the girl you saw? She definitely appears to be walking his dog in this clip, also seems weird to have brought his dog to this event
Because we see what I think is the Plank Maze in the update and NoBad says something about being bathed by a “notmom”, I’m going to choose to believe that Jay found him and gave him a bath and took care of him until told otherwise because it brings me joy.
"@ misha you are so lost and I am done playing this “one soul, two body” game with you. You abuse me because you think this is some kind of joke. Jokes on YOU because you are me. How does it feel to know YOU were the one who tweeted yourself 98 times? How does it feel to know that YOU are the one typing this very sentence. I know you are not happy. You are full of shit like always. Go get another acting gig and bullshit the rest of the world. I’m done with you. “Me”. I am so sick of trying to heal for the both of us when all you do is play me like a FIDDLE."
"@ misha Why do you think I disappeared of social media? I am literally working on a TRAUMA therapist from all of it. Nobody is defending me because the MAN is egotistical and uses his fame and non- profit to fool everyone . Wake up @ misha. I will not be SILENCED."
"@ misha And you don’t know yourself… @ misha how could you? Look at you. Terrified to experience yourself . Oh “Misha” that’s your name in that body? Right? But you don’t know anything about yourself. You’re so far away from yourself it’s getting scary. It’s getting so scary….. good luck on your spiritual awakening. Good luck bypassing “me” who is actually- just you in another body with poor grammar and boobs. Good luck out there fulfilling the endless void…. I can’t do this anymore. I am leaving this journey behind. I deserve to be happy too. You don’t choose yourself. See? You don’t. Because I AM you. Remember? Did this journey show you that yet? We have no free will. I was made to love you. You were made to love me. That’s what we call UNITY consciousness which we fail to reach. Time and time again. The world shows us that we mirror and bypass. The world has not brought us together, and it never will. Because we don’t know who WE ARE. We ARE lost . Get it? No healing will help us…. No amount of retreats, or presence will help us….. we are DOOMED on this journey. And I give up trying to love you. You don’t want me. You don’t want to experience yourself…. So goodbye."
"@ misha That’s you. In another body. Running from yourself. Abusing yourself. Feeling unworthy of love…. That’s you. Experiencing BOTH sides of the coin so how does It feel? Does it feel good to be self- aware? Do you like how you feel about our connection? @ misha #twinflames #traumahealing#sanfransico #darknightofthesoul"
"@ misha Thanks for having zero compassion. Not ever giving me a single clear response SHOULD have been my response, “hey amber your a WORTHLESS fan and I’m too cool to have any compassion for someone like you, I’m too busy having sex with my girfriend that I’ve had for a long time and toying with you on unsolicited accounts was my way of driving you to the nobadic point of insanity.” Thanks Misha. You’re a real STAND up guy. I have little to none of myself left. I have LOST all of myself after meeting you. All of my self- confidence, my sense of worth… has gone down the drain. You have never shown any kindness towards this “connection” im almost CONVINCED THAT IM crazy because who knows what’s real? I really hope this “twinflame” thing is just a diagnosable mental instability so I can make you go away with a pill. Loving you wasn’t fun. It took away all of me. You ruined my sense of self- worth as a person. I grieved over you for YEARS not months while you are just having fun with @ rachelminersgram and casually watching me go downhill and end up in hospitals over this “non existent “ crap connection. I hope the best for you and Racheal. She is better than me, more healed, more stable, I never deserved you . I’m too damaged and quite frankly I’m never going to be worth enough…"
she's legit crazier than a shithouse rat.
At this point I'm more connected to Misha than her. I think of something or talk about something and BOOM, he tweets about it.
I’m beginning to think Montreal is a Dragon Ball city, because people will not stop making references. I ain’t mad though.
Summer is finally here and the overwhelming talents are ready to shine, “loc'd” and loaded:
NoBad Sound Studio has made a name for itself over the years as a cultural center and musical youth sanctuary in the Côte-Des-Neiges area, with members of Kalmunity, Alaiz and Nomadic Massive as mentors and collaborators; now their new tape, NBS ALL STARZ, is out and available for purchase on BandCamp! Among the talented youngsters is Dejazz “Stillz” Libretti, who’s already made considerable noise in the community.
Hip Hop Karaoke MTL has been going through a few growing pains, like anything else, but it’s coming back full force just in time for the summer peak, Saturday July 12th, and it’s rumoured that our friendly neighborhood Microskillz is to make his return to the stage…
Hip Hop Heads Concordia, a student organization at Concordia University, is stirring things up in the scene, having only been launched early December. Their last event, “Cypher Brew”, was captured and beautifully immortalized by photographer/filmographer Matthew Thomas Labelle, who is also known for his work on Apartment 6, as well as collaborations with PACESIX and Pop Up Shop Montreal.
Speaking of Nomadic Massive, they made it to the Top 5 in the category of “Best Hip Hop Act” in CultMTL’s “Best of MTL 2014”, and if you don’t know who they are, I can’t really help you. You’ve certainly spotted one of its members, a dude with glorious wool-hair who goes by the name of Waahli (a.k.a. Wyzah); if not, you’s a cavedweller.
Lastly, things are heating up on the scene, and I don’t just mean the weather (… but THANK GOD for this sun). ZéFire is bringing crooning back with an urban twist on F.I.R.E., a compilation of his take on MTL beats (with names such as Kaytranada and High Klassified on the bill), but don’t take my word for it; listen to his tracks on SoundCloud!
