 | | Most importantly, however, the Vancouver hip hop band Rascalz gathered an all-star crew of emerging Canadian rappers to record "Northern Touch", a galvanizing statement of purpose for Canadian hip-hoppers which was released as a single in 1998, beating the odds to become the first Canadian hip hop hit since 1991. | | | Maestro's first chart hit, "Let Your Backbone Slide", was the first Canadian rap single to break into the Top 40, and remains as of 2005 the best-selling Canadian rap single of all time. | | | Only one Canadian rapper, Michie Mee, made an appearance on the national pop charts between 1991 and 1998 -- and even she only managed it by partnering with the hard rock band Raggadeath. |

| | Maestro was and still is the man. But if Maestro is the only thing you know about Canadian hip-hop, then you don't know the music at all. | | | That's not to say that the major labels are a wasteland for Canadian hip-hop, one of the most notable successes has been k-os. | | | If you're looking for the best and the brightest in Canadian rap you'll have to be willing to discover them for yourself. |

| | If this sounds like faint praise, bear in mind that never in history has such a glut of indigenous urban music been available in shopping malls from Edmonton to Fredericton; nor has any other Can-rapper received the U.S. backing that Toronto's Choclair is getting from Priority Records. | | | If it is, this is probably the last Canadian album I am purchasing as I prefer the sounds of the dirty South." | | | One thing, though, remains certain about Canadian hip-hop in the year 2000: It really does exist. |

| | CANOE -- JAM! Music - Artists - Choclair: Choclair sign of Canadian hip-hop to come |
| | Whatever other Canadian labels make of Virgin's success with Choclair, the evidence suggests that to chart as high as the record did requires a considerable investment of resources in marketing the release. | | | Steve Jordan, A&R manager for Warner Music Canada, said his label has actively been pursuing Canadian hip-hop, but said Virgin's success with Choclair will definitely be noted by other labels. | | | John Jones, senior programmer for MuchMusic and MuchMoreMusic, has had Choclair's video in rotation and believes the record's success could be a sign of more mainstream acceptance of Canadian hip-hop. |

| | In Canada alone, hip-hop has consistently been at the top of record sales for the past three years and is a prevalent force in the music industry. | | | But as always, the final question in the music industry is, “Will it sell?” In the case of Canadian hip-hop, with the proper promotion behind it, there is no doubt in my mind. | | | Canadians buy hip-hop, so industry heads should have more than enough sense to sign more Canadian urban music artists to their labels, right? |
