Local Artist August Rigo - Kill Me

Amazing song by a great band. Ian Thornley (singer/guitarist) is from Toronto and the rest of the band is from Boston; or at least the original lineup was.

There could probably be a thread for hip-hop alone.

Drake is Toronto's biggest star internationally so far and probably will be for a while (not including Rob Ford).
As mentioned previously, Started from the Bottom is the most obvious Toronto music vid, and was very overtly a tribute to Toronto. There's nothing that says "Canadian rapper" like rapping through a snow blizzard on the streets of Forest Hill lol. There's also Headlines which features the sky dome.

Here are a few more (seem I can't embed more than one vid)
Not sure what the song at the intro to this vid is:

Shots of early 2000's Dundas Square under construction:

Check the OR featuring Tom Green was filmed in Jane & Finch, even though OR means Ottawa Region and they're from Ottawa:

Not a Toronto rapper but filmed here, Rick Ross - Devil in a new dress

Finally here's a CBC documentary on Canadian hip hop :)

There are many more videos (Choclair?).
Toronto hip hop producers are recently becoming very successful (producing for Eminem, Jay Z for example). http://www.thestar.com/entertainmen...ts_ontario_teen_wondagurl_on_new_album.h tml

As Toronto grows as a city it also grows more confident in its ability to project our culture and pride/identity.
 
This isn't a video, but the album cover is curious (as it references to Toronto's CBD). I wonder how/why these specific buildings were chosen for the album art.

This song is just ethereal and sexy. The guy's phrasing is the greatest, out of any living guitarist.
