Straight Outta Canada: Part 1

Bobby Friction travels to Canada to speak to some of the scene's biggest desi music stars.

Bobby Friction travels to Canada to speak to some of the scene's biggest desi music stars.

Ever since the Crown Prince of Bhangra, Jazzy B, burst onto the bhangra scene in the early 90鈥檚, Asian-Canadian artists have become integral players in Punjabi music, Asian pop and rap.

Bobby finds out how the British-Asian music in the noughties inspired Canada's current crop of artists, asks whether the North American country has overtaken the UK as the most influential producer of desi music outside of the sub-continent and discovers the frustration artists face, who have to often breakthrough in other countries before getting any recognition in their home-nation.

Contributors Include: The PropheC, Jazzy B, Fateh, Humble the Poet and Desi Ma.

Plus, Bobby is joined in the studio by his 大象传媒 Music Introducing artist, London based rapper Hyphen.
