I’m from Ontario…almost 70 years. I never heard this song before until it has been used on a tv commercial. I’m not a rap music fan…however, I have to say this is one of my favourites! Great use of The Guess Who’s “These Eyes”. I battle with depression and play this song regularly to help lift my mood! Love it! 🦋😊

[@philly416]

Use music to find your happy place!🙏 Here’s a couple of suggestions of inspiring house tracks. Hope it works for you!🌅 Ministers de La Funk: Believe, Boris Dlugosh: Keep Pushing (Jihad Muhammad remix), Jaimie Lewis: Be Thankful

[@marcelkaffine7343]

55 here. This was in my time. Grew up with guess who with sister who's 69. Peace and blessings to you brother.

[@DahnoDookoh]

I JUST seen that commercial. That's why I'm here!

[@c.m.4686]

The Scarborough Hospital Network fundraising campaign brought me here as well. I was born in Scarborough General Hospital 59 years ago. I love this campaign as they seem to be the underdog hospital network bringing light to inequity in health networks and, yeah, a great use of sampling "These Eyes". It is the only commercial at the moment that I don't mute when it appears! I hope you are doing well in your depression battle and glad that this song is helping.

[@TheGlow57]

Glad you enjoy it! Keep that head up sir. Enjoy what you enjoy

[@ralphneelands3990]

So great to hear this on the latest Scarborough Hospitals ad! What a classic!!!

[@cjm8160]

Love Scarborough ❤

[@shellyt556]

I love it❤❤

[@winkstar9265]

Kida sad world to live in ads.

[@winkstar9265]

Hospitals are like casino's. lol

[@SimonSinn-b3z]

It was this song that made me take notice of the very effective and beautiful Scarborough Health Network ad. I was so touched by it that I made an online donation same day. I hope other donors will also consider to do the same instead of the other well-known ones like Mt. Sinai, Sick Kids, etc.

[@tinab3627]

Don mills & eglinton?? Omg. You guys from Toronto!!! Yes!!

[@Redline6ix]

The “Don mills and Eglington” shout out always makes me happy lol

[@marcelkaffine7343]

Maestro moved Canada to the top step of the podium. America was on notice with respect. His music still on point today and tomorrow.

[@aavv9472]

The Godfather of Canadian hip hop

[@benniehehe]

He really did pave the way for other Canadian hip hop artists .. I used to dance with my friends from school at housepartys to Let Your Backbone Slide .. one of the dudes in my grade could Thread the Needle (dance move) super impressive

[@braddelves5242]

Yah. No East/West. All together 🙂❤

[@africaRBG]

This was during canada's golden era of hip-hop (late 90s-mid 2000s). truly a memorable time in music.

[@justinhlisic762]

Yes. Absolutely. 👍👍👍

[@dolessnevermore]

who are some other good toronto artists from this era?

[@ku812fubar4]

Fuk yes. What a bloody shame now!!!!!!

[@ku812fubar4]

What does a person say about a time when we respected each other ; thanks to innovators like fresh Wes. . Brought cultures together now all this shit is to undo and tear us all apart. Wtf. Rock on maestro....

[@dangerdane8448]

This guy lives about 30 minutes away from me now and he has a radio show called meastro fresh wes in the maritimes and jams a bunch of old tunes

[@DeanKulaweera]

Classic Canadian Hip Hop. Back in the day Canadian rappers really had to struggle to make it to the mainstream. Dudes like Maestro, Kardinal, Choclair, etc paved the way. Much love and respect, good music man

Maestro introduced me to rap & hip hop early 90's as a 12-18 yr old. The beginning of a love for the music. Backbone slide

[@simonusc849]

This is what rap sounds like when it’s not created for mass consumption and only the people who have skills and things to say do it. Thanks 🇨🇦

[@ahamiltonphamilton2653]

perfectly said ! this is true talent!

[@simonusc849]

@@ahamiltonphamilton2653 thanks :) during the time when I wrote that comment I was SO tired of the usual rap stuff and I had this idea of checking out canadian rap and it was a rly good decision, because they usual ly don't have this huge publicity and annoying following yk the whole industry stuff which I'm kinda allergic to ngl hah, but ALSO I read that maestro was inspired by rakim so it was still tying it back to american stuff which is obv important since after all I DO love american rap. It was kinda like a vacation from all the industry bullshit haha

[@Heroismblackinfant]

This was my first ever Toronto rap song I ever heard

[@lilgold7032]

That scarborough health commercial brought me here

1:44 "Making beats with S and Jel and them"... a Salute to S-Blank and DJ Jel of the Get Loose Crew and Self Defence...big respect in the 6ix, early days!

[@simpleemodern]

This guy just got accepted into the Canadian music. Hall of Fame is the first hip-hop artist and it’s like kiss my rump, nobody who enjoys hip-hop even knows this guy, currently. That’s what my country does; we offer awards that are super out of date to people that are super undeserving.

[@meghansouth581]

Still such a relevant song. I highly resonate with the message, even when times are tough, stick to your vision

[@tinab3627]

It took me 40 minutes but I found IT!!! The best remix of my all favourite song ❤
