ATSIC Radar 635

New release Canadian Hip Hop that dropped on or before Aug 29, 2025.

Another recap of the new releases in Hip Hop from across Canada. Plenty will be good, some will be bad - sorting through them is part of the fun. The tracks I like the most get bought and played on ATSIC. If you only want to hear the best stuff, hit the archives over on Mixcloud for episodes of After The Smoke Is Clear.

I pay as much attention to the national scene as I can, but if I’m missing something, let me know. I do remove a few tracks as I listen through myself. These playlists always start with more music than they end with because sometimes artists make songs in other genres and they just don’t gel. I’m not trying to break brains here. I try not to be too judgmental of anything, and keep in mind that I’m not always the target audience. I also know that artists who make a song I dislike might make a song I do like the next week. I appreciate artists who release a lot of music, and never want to dissuade anyone from putting their works into the world. I’m not trying to gate-keep anything. Everyone should like what they like, I’m just picking what I like and promoting that in an effort to build the scene and appreciation for it.

I usually stream while I listen to the entire playlist. Sometimes I’m just listening and commentating, sometimes I’m gaming, so if you want to come through and hear what I have to say about each song live, hit Twitch.tv/doobyis. On Tuesdays I do Fly In Formation interviews over there too. Turn your notifications on for Twitch and come say hi, the more the merrier. If I streamed this one, I’ll put the video below, but it wont stay live forever.

Every week I pick the tracks that I like most, buy them, and play them on my show “After The Smoke Is Clear” (#ATSIC) - which you can listen to for free by clicking here.
