Quebec City’s own Modlee has returned with a new Mixtape titled Queendom. Its release via Coyote Records on January 20th saw a project that featured 8 future-soul and underground hip-hop tracks about family, love and womanhood.
Modlee is not a new to the scene having already shared the “SUNWAKL EP” through the prestigious label Soulection in 2012. Since then, she has been a key figure in the underground hip hop scene of her Canadian city. On this new EP, the sensual and groovy tracks are mainly produced by Vlooper and remind of one of our legends: Erykah Badu.
The album is available via Bandcamp (name your price).

Good morning!
Hello
I’m going to the store, does anybody want anything?
20 Rothmans, please.
How are you Garf and Russ?
Good morning!
Hi Janet & Justin
too late Russ
DAMMIT!
Hello, all.
Word up peeps…. good morning! And how is everyone’s morning and Garf’s afternoon?
hey ho!
ran to work today. wish my old-man knees were in better shape. I’d do it every day
I’m not too bad Justin, just catching up with this weeks Hak5. How are you?
Nice Krib! How many km?
Hello all!
A couple links for you to check out. Yay Vish! http://exclaim.ca/music/article/long_night_with_vish_khanna_gets_shad_weaves_fucked_up_the_sadies_and_more_for_tv_tapings?utm_source=facebookpage&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=fbpwall
and The Matinee http://www.iheartradio.ca/news/exclusive-listen-to-blood-alley-by-the-matinee-before-it-s-out-1.2355906
I didn’t know Long Night with Vish Khanna was going to be on youtube
about 3.5 km. Then I sit on my butt all day and get to run the same distance home.
I can add to the length, but my knees get cranky with me so I don’t push it too hard
good morning peeps!
Howdy morgana!
Hi Morgana
y’know, when I first heard the Matinee, I was kind of meh about them. Back when Sweetwater got played way too much on R3 and Grant would come on and sing the chorus all the time.
As I’ve listened to more of their stuff, I really like them
@krib so what you are saying is that you just needed the tag along band mate /music jockey to be retired …
@darbar with the big melt happening on the west coast and folks on the book of faces talking about bike riding it made me wonder if you ever got your sweet ride back?
I will always love Sweetwater and Young & Lazy for the fond Track on Track memories.
@darbar I am still very that that I was not able to go with you all on that epic train ride:( opportunity missed for sure!
@morgana – Sadly no. I haven’t made it to the cop shop yet to see if it is hiding in there. We do plan on getting me another bike in the spring which is far off for us on the prairies.
@morgana – I wish everyone could have made that trip! I just saw The Matinee at BreakoutWest and we talked about it and the documentary that didn’t show up yet. We figured maybe in 10 years it will and have a cult following.
@garfielduk morgana jr says thank you for her calendar … some days I am not sure she even understand the continium of time but we are very much in the teen zone so I am hopeful this too will pass.
@darbar the weather warmed up here for just long enough to create sprawling areas of black ice and seriously heavy piles of snow everywhere. now it is cold and snowing again and the city workers with all their equipment are trying to clean up the mess.
@Morgana, She is more than welcome. It makes me smile when I look at ours in the kitchen and think there are copies in Nelson and Toronto.
@garfielduk nice!
do we have a Toronto correspondant to report on the Long Night with Vish Khanna tapings?
I don’t think we have a Chief Toronto Correspondant
well i certainly didn’t want to say “senior” correspondent.
What about Wynnsie? 😉
ack! sooo close! I was just looking at the Timber Tambre tour schedule ; they will be playing one day after I am in Vancouver. SIGH!
@darbar I think that is a great suggestion!
@morgana – Grant will be doing his book launch in Vancouver May 11. Maybe another excuse to be there when I am? 😉
contemplating getting a ticket for The Dead South but feeling like my Spring line up of shoes is getting heavy on the string plucking side; Rural Alberta Advantage, Shred Kelly, Elliot Brood and Old Man Luedecke.
I have asked Mr Wynn (that will confuse him if he sees it) if he plans in attending any of the recordings
@darbar my calandar for that weekend is booked I am afraid. I will be in Walla Walla, Washington. http://www.wetwesties.org/calendar/
@garfielduk smashing! re Mr Wynn that is.
@morgana – Oh right. Too bad! Those are all great shows to get to!
what is this horrible ad on Sprotify for a kids book? Don’t get me wrong, I love kids books. The advert uses one of those super perky, yelling voices that made me leave the room when my kid was the age to watch D-D-D-D-D Dora.
Ha! We all have something we can’t tolerate. Whining was a big one for me. And the yelling on Dragonball Z really irritated me. My 23 year old is now buying himself the dvds for that show that I wouldn’t let him have when he was a kid.
OK friends, I must do some other things with the remainder of the morning.
BUT
if anyone is thinking of wanting to go to Kaslo Jazz Etc Festival https://kaslojazzfest.com
or Ponderosa Music Festival http://www.ponderosafestival.com I am planning on going to both and would love to see you all there!!
Noted and wishing.
I’d love to attend those, I just need a way to claim my travel expenses from the blog first
Wynnzie has been assigned to cover at least one of the tapings
(and I think Morgana just volunteered to cover the Kaslo Jazz Etc Festival and the Ponderosa Music Festival)
Haha I think that is what I read too. Yay for Wynnsie!
Modlee is pretty chill hip hop tunes.
I am definitely digging the Modlee today!
ha! what I think I needed was a song that wasn’t Sweetwater
