This coming Thursday, Aug. 8, make your way to The Bourbon Room (400A Dalhousie St.) in downtown Ottawa for a special performance by three of Toronto’s most promising young talents including Burna Bandz, Houdini, and J Neat.
The three artists—who each made waves last year with their contributions to the popular Northside Jane compilation—will be joined by some special guests including UTM member SupaWassi, UTM affiliate Da Crook. There’s also some local up-and-comers on the bill including CAYO, King Z and more. Additional music will be provided by DJ Porte.
The event, brought to you by CapCityHipHop, will be all-ages but anyone 19+ will be able to access to the licensed area in the venue for drinking. Anyone under the age of the 16 will need to be accompanied by a guardian and tickets must be purchased by an adult. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show will kick off a 7 p.m. You can find tickets now on Eventbrite and various Ottawa walk-in retail locations including NRML.
All three of the main Toronto acts performing have recent releases that they’ll be promoting at the show, along with their previous fan favourites.
