They call him the Megacity Mayor, the Prime Minister of the Screwface Capital, and in truth, there are very few individuals in the Toronto rap community that could rightfully carry those same titles. In this mix-style EP, T3 steps up to educate and entertain, letting both his experience of years and keen political awareness grab hold of your speakers for 21 solid tracks. Its a mix of live cuts and studio tracks, history lessons and funny skits, exposing the dark underbelly of a dirty industry and giving love where its due. T3 calls out fakes and liars in "The Last Straw and "Snakes, and on "The Truth he breaks down his Toronto screwface frustrations over a quick, finger-snapping ditty. He lets loose the party vibe on "Tribute to Benzo, a tune that could be huge with a live backing band, and the Simahlak-produced "Under Pressure is a smooth, classic shout. A Monolith posse cut and "Screwface Slow Jamz, where T3 shows off his R&B singing chops, add that little extra something to the mix. Torontonians and screwfaces everywhere, take note this man is talking to you.
