I haven’t been the nicest to Dallas Green over the years but I’ll be the first to tell you that he does one hell of a job on Canada’s first hip-hop anthem of the new year.
That’s right, I said hip-hop.
Last week Consequence of Sound premiered “Live Forever”, one half of Two Songs, the upcoming charity 12” by Shad and Dallas Green. Shad, for those of you who don’t know, is absolutely fucking awesome. Last year he put out TSOL, his third entry into the imaginary Canadian Hip-Hop Hall of Fame. Like Shad, TSOL is also fucking awesome.
Do you know what else is fucking awesome? “Live Forever”, which you can hear below.

If you like what you hear and feel like supporting the Skate4Cancer you can pre-order Two Songs at MapleMusic. Act fast, though, because with a limited pressing of just 556 copies I imagine City & Colour fan girls will eat this up faster than any fat joke I can make.

That's what we like to call "the first step". Congrats, sir.

Is he not hip enough ?

That being said, I like Alexisonfire, and that includes a lot of his vocals with them, and he sounds fine (even pretty good at times) on all recordings of him. I don't doubt is actual ability to sing, just his consistency. But it's not like I've got an actual problem or beef with him. I used to get real aggravated by his success when I was younger, but chalk that up to me being young and a contrarian.
I've also found him to be an incredibly awesome dude, so there's that.

I came in thinking this rapper I'd never heard of would suck: I was surprised. Must check out his albums.

Oddly enough, the last time I saw him George from AOF was in the pit watching.
