This post feels so familiar, it’s like I could have written it, from the NM love, to the Montreal vs Vancouver vibe. I miss that city’s spirit so much.

Nomadic Massive-

Living in Montreal for the short time i did last year exposed me to grass root hip hop  performers, educators and artists in a way Vancouver was not able to. In between tuesday nights with Kalmunity Vibe, i often found my self alone in a variety of different concerts/shows or workshops. This curiosity, imbedded in a mixture of loneliness and a desire for inspiration, was a blessing. In my second week in Montreal, i randomly ended up at a Concert for DAM, the first Palestinian Hip Hop group: Check  SLINGSHOT HIP HOP out. Nomadic Massive opened for them- i was sold and an instant fan. Mad random evening. While watching the show i also met a now good friend of mine who knew some of the members of the group- and as she continued to rave about them and after seeing them live, i knew my stay in montreal was going to  be guided by the love of music, art, education and community. And for four good months, it was so. The healing i had escaped to do had started and at the time, even I did not know so.
