It Lives In The North: Scott Jackson

Scott Jackson is the epitome of hip hop. Arguably the best beatboxer in the country, his dedication to the culture is mind blowing. To witness Scott create sounds and beats never gets old and I've had the pleasure of being around him a lot over the years. He's been travelling to different schools across the GTA of late, teaching kids about beatboxing and spreading hip hop culture. He recently battled KRNFX in a beatbox battle at King Of The Dot. Google him. YouTube him. And if you ever see him on the street, hail him up!

It Lives In The North @ King Of The Dot Oct. 30, 2010!




King of the Dot battles have become a staple of hip hop entertainment in Toronto for arguably a year now. Of the two years they've been operating, their traction and expansion speaks volumes about the hip hop culture right here in the north. There is a reason great things happen at these battles, there is a reason such creativity exercises itself on our front porch... You need to Live The Culture and show up on Saturday for KOTD "Body Bag"

I'll be there (Bizz).

I've actually been at KOTD events spreading It Lives In The North apparel, rhetoric and energy since it began, literally. Below is a picture taken at VOLUME ONE in February 2008. I'm just sayin...


Above is a picture taken at World Domination (the last KOTD event). In the centre is Jaz Juice and to his right is Poisen Pen rockin the It Lives In The North: Concrete Guerilla Tee. I'm just sayin...
