Famous
I’d like to take a moment to give some love and respect to ‘Famous’ (Ashton Bishop.) He is an extremely-talented, conscious-rapper, who has lots to share on positivity, focus, vision and other big topics. He’s got an amazing sense of humour, stunning lyrics & rhymes, and wicked beats that’ll be stuck in your head for days. If that’s not enough for you, he’s a friend of mine, and he kindly allowed me to use his track Ain’t No Use as the soundtrack for Greg’s fun climbing video: Gateway, Niagara Glen.
He’s done the Raptor’s Season Opener, opened for Nas, and Kardinal Offishal has featured on one of his tracks. He’s performed for YOUnited, a benefit for youth, and released an EP with Clinton Sparks: Famous – I Rap Now.
His two latest tracks are Ain’t No Use Pt. 1 (my personal favourite), and followed up with Ain’t No Use Pt. II, and we’ll take a look below:

We gotta blame it on ourselves as a human being, Because it’s cool, the rappers all do it. Seven days, most rappers weak, But then again, who am I to talk… It’s cuz of a rapper that I got my pants tucked in my socks. Ain’t No Use I’ma stay flossy, And that’s when I realized.. |
I’m the market, the kid making y’all money. I got a nice image, Always in a new hat, new gear, new Airs, Then I put my white tee on, So fuck off if y’all rappers trying to hate on me. Don’t hate me cuz I rhyme different… Ain’t No Use |
He really hit the scene hard with one of his earlier tracks, 4th Biggest City, a tribute to Toronto and a call-to-arms to any musician/artist stuck in laziness, apathy, or a 9-to-5 to take advantage of all the city has to offer to help get your work out there. It’s a 7-minute anthem for Toronto Creativity and I LOVE IT. Impressive stuff. Watch it, and tell me you’re not inspired to get out in life and do something.
