In 1998 "Northern Touch" catapulted Canadian Hip Hop into the mainstream as the first official East - West posse cut showcasing some of the top talent in the country.
The Rascalz (Red1 & Misfit) assembled Kardinal Offishall, Thrust and Choclair from Toronto and added Checkmate, also from Vancouver, to create a Canadian Hip Hop Anthem. The music video was directed by (the now famous) Little X and their album Cash Crop took home a Juno Award for Best Rap Recording. '98 was a good year for Hip Hop.
I remember when this came out and in 2017 this joint still gets rinse back home!
Northern Touch, produced by DJ Kemo, samples B.T. Express's "Everything Good to you Aint always Good for You" which you can listen to below.
