#hhkmtl

Last night I performed at Hip Hop Karaoke Montreal with the talented Sam I Am and Leah McFly, costumes and all. After getting the get-up and make-up off, fellow legend Chuko called me the "Clark Kent of HHK". Of course I laughed hysterically, but then it hit me: it really doesn't take much to lead a double life. One on stage vs one at school, one on paper vs. one in real life, but based on symbolic interactionism, everyone is always living a double life, because you're never who you really are until you're alone... or is your existence only validated by having it bounce off of others?I even find myself introducing myself with two different names because one connotes my past and people who've seen me change, the other connotes what I choose to exteriorize and put out into the world... but whether people know it or not, I am always both, and they are one. 

It’s been a while since MTL has been left with a karaoke-shaped void in its urban soul… but now everyone’s favorite nighttime sing-a-long event has returned with the city’s HOTTEST 90’s party! Could it get any better?? Strange Froots is slated to perform so yes. Yes it can. CHOCOLATE JUNGLE (in collaboration with HHKMTL and the Bust A Move Festival) is happening at Le Belmont, Friday May 1st at 10pm. Get your tickets NOW!

Last week Thursday night, Hip Hop Karaoke Montreal celebrated its first anniversary since the hiatus with the “Greatest Hits” edition!

“The true mind can weather all the lies and illusions without being harmed. The true heart can tough the poison of hatred without being harmed. Since beginning-less time, darkness thrives in the void, but always yields to purified light… In the era before the Avatar, we bent not the elements but the energy within ourselves… To bend another’s energy, your own spirit must be unbendable, or you will be corrupted and destroyed.” –Lion Turtle
