The debut single from the godfather of Canadian Rap, Maestro Fresh-Wes, is the cornerstone of Canadian Hip-Hop. Point blank.

Although the single was originally released as an import record into Canada, Maestro solidified himself as the gold standard for all Canadian hip-hop artists to follow for the next 30 years.

According to Maestro himself, the origins of the famous phrase “Let Your Backbone Slide” was inspired from a line from Billy Squier’s “The Stroke” and the drum pattern is modelled directly off of the 45 King’s “900 Number.” Those two elements serve as the “backbone” for the video version aka The Power Mix. Add in an intro featuring a cornucopia of original break samples leading into “Funky Drummer”, a chorus with the b-boy standard “The Champ”, vocals from the 808 canon “Set It Off”, AND Wes’s superior lyrical flow and voice and you have the most influential hip-hop record ever recorded in Canada.

Available for the first time on 7 inch, FlipNJay Records are proud announce a series of FlipNJay x Groove-A-Lot Records collabs with Ghetto Concept “e-z On The Motion” being the first drop!

One of our all time favourites, “e-z On The Motion” was originally released in 1994 and became an underground anthem from coast to coast, getting huge play from DJs across the country via mixtapes, college radio shows, plus the video getting heavy rotation on Much Music’s Rap City. Produced by the legendary production crew Da Grassroots, the record earned Ghetto Concept their 2nd Juno and solidified them at the top of the Toronto (and Canadian) Hip-Hop scene.

Representing Rexdale, MCs Kwajo and Dolo formed Ghetto Concept in 1992 with Infinite, who joined the group first as their DJ but then eventually became the third MC. By the time “e-z On The Motion” dropped, Ghetto Concept already had the T-Dot anthem “Certified” under their belt thanks in part to Da Grassroots production. “They were responsible for a major part of the Toronto sound,” says Kwajo in a 2015 interview with Vice titled 1994: The Year The T-Dot Broke, “Everybody wanted a Grassroots beat. They were definitely way ahead of their time.”

As the story goes, Mr Attic played the beat out of his Nissan at the “Certified” video shoot and the rest is history. “[Da Grassroots'] Mr. Attic played the beat for "e-z on The Motion" from his car,” says Kwajo. “As soon as I heard the beat, I knew that was the next record. I literally begged him for the beat.”

FlipNJay Records continue to lay down Canadian Hip-Hop foundation records, brick by brick with each release with Fnj-004. “BaKardi Slang” is more than an anthem. It’s a literal instructional manual outlining the T-Dot vibe, capturing the energy and the slang of the city at the turn of the century. Kardi runs down the difference between New York and Toronto talk over a beat from Solitair that ignited the fire to write the track! The B-side is just as iconic, from the legendary Little X video to the Grassroots produced beat from Mr. Attic, which was originally only a 20 second “skit” on a beat tape, “Ol’ Time Killin’” is THE posse cut from that era.

Double sided banger! Two certified Canadian classics.

This underground banger is from the early 2000s with Vancouver legends Checkmate and Concise, two of Canada’s dopest MCs ever! This gritty beat, courtesy of Mr. Rumble, features the beast Royce Da 5'9 with an absolute classic verse and the nastiest of cuts from DJ Revolution. The B-side is another Checkmate/Royce collaboration from 2013 produced by the incomparable Hazel. Both tracks mixed by the go-to Vancouver studio technician and producer Roger Swan.

“The Council” feat. JD Era b/w “Brazy” and “Wild Kingdom” feat. Concise & DJ Grouch

“Runnin’ Wild, Smokin’ Cess, Drinkin’ Beer!” Following up the label’s So Loki & bbno$ release, FlipNJay Records are releasing their second 7 inch of new music featuring three standout records off of Checkmate & Vago’s Hustle Game 101 LP!

One of the most soulful yet hardest records to come out of 2020, Hustle Game 101 is entirely produced by long-standing collaborator Vago and is arguable Checkmate’s finest work to date. Side A sees Checkmate and JD Era rap over Vago’s thick funk grooves on the hustler anthem “The Council”. Side B includes HG101’s equally as funky lead single “Brazy”, plus the 7 inch edit of “Wild Kingdom” featuring Checkmate and Concise alongside Toronto’s DJ Grouch each gun slinging 8 rounds of the hardest bars you’ll hear anywhere.

Not only did Checkmate appear on the first record that FlipNJay Records put out with his legendary guest verse on the Rascalz “Northern Touch” (fnj-001), but he followed it up a few records later releasing “R.A.W.” with Royce the 5’9, Concise and DJ Revolution on the cut (fnj-005). Fnj-014 is the latest Checkmate release on FlipNJay Records. “The Council” b/w “Brazy” and “Wild Kingdom” all on one (little) record makes this pound for pound one of the best releases in the FNJ catalogue.

Moka’s illustrious career has featured hundreds of releases over 30 years of
recording music. After conquering the underground, in 2005 he made his major
label release, The Desired Effect (also released in Japan as Dirty Jazz). The CD
featured a plethora of collabs including 2 legends: J DILLA and MF DOOM!
Selected by Moka from one of DILLA’s legendary beat tapes. The version of
“One Time” that appeared on the album was actually a re-make because of an
executive decision from the label. The original version, the way DILLA intended
with the sample is now officially available on FlipNJay Records (FNJ-021) with
DILLA’s previously unreleased Instrumental on the flip side.
