Canadian Old School Hip Hop

Canadian Old School Hip Hop is a genre of music that originated in Canada in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It is characterized by its use of samples from classic soul, funk, and jazz records, as well as its lyrical content which often focuses on social issues and the struggles of life in Canada. It is often seen as a precursor to the more mainstream Canadian hip hop scene that emerged in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Artists associated with this genre include Maestro Fresh Wes, Dream Warriors, Michie Mee, and Ghetto Concept.
