About this event
Celebrating 30 years of independent Canadian hip-hop, the Hand’Solo Records 30th Anniversary Tour brings together three generations of underground rap excellence for a cross-country celebration of music, culture, and community.
Headlining the tour is legendary Vancouver emcee and producer Moka Only, one of Canada’s most prolific and respected hip-hop artists, with a career spanning more than three decades and countless releases. His first 12” release was with Hand’Solo Records in 1997.
Joining Moka is Prairie rap veteran Epic, whose honest lyricism, engaging live performances, and decades-long dedication to independent hip-hop have made him a respected voice in Canadian underground rap. His first album with Hand’Solo Records was in 2008.
Representing Northern Ontario is Copper Cliff rapper Mickey O’Brien, whose upcoming album Requiem for the Working Class continues his tradition of honest storytelling rooted in working-class life, recovery, and resilience. A third-generation miner and international touring artist, O’Brien has performed across Canada, Europe, Japan, Australia, and the United States while balancing life underground at Vale with a growing catalogue of acclaimed independent releases. Mickey has released albums on a yearly basis with Hand’Solo Records since his solo debut in 2019.
Together, these artists embody the spirit that has defined Hand’Solo Records for 30 years: authentic voices, independent creativity, and a commitment to building hip-hop from the ground up. From Vancouver to Halifax, this anniversary tour celebrates the past, present, and future of Canadian underground hip-hop.
About this organizer
Over the past two decades, Nickel City MC Mickey O’Brien has been an inspired voice in the Canadian rap scene with his boundary-defying, concept-heavy music. Even prior to his emergence as a solo artist in 2019, while still a member of rap-rock outfit Kill the Autocrat, O’Brien proved himself a powerful voice of the north for hip-hop. Whether he’s expressing his failures and triumphs in love (Twin Flame), taking a deep dive into his experience with addiction (Shift Change), or tackling the spectrum of emotions (Orebody), O’Brien’s effortless vulnerability is a key component in the cultivation of a new wave in honest, emotional hip hop. Now with tours in Japan, Australia, Ireland, the UK, a few American cities, and twice across Canada, he is delivering his message of recovery and positivity worldwide. Mickey O’Brien prides himself on pushing his own personal boundaries in his relentless pursuit to make art that is both impactful and as real as possible.
