Montreal rapper Remy Picasso and singer-songwriter @PaulCargnello have made an album together called Underground Capo, a project influenced by the tragic death of Picasso’s uncle Nicholas Gibbs, a 23-year-old NDG man who was shot and killed by police in 2018. For our November issue, we spoke with both artists about how activism, tragedy, art and music brought this project to life. https://t.co/LtejIbce95

Excellent journalism by Lev Golinkin in @jdforward.
@CBCNews, @TorontoStar, @globeandmail and other legacy media - not to mention the entire #canpoli class - need to step up and acknowledge this appalling moment and be accountable for how it happened.
