CANADA'S LATEST EMERGING HIPHOP FORCE PETER JACKSON PUTS DOWN A STRONG MARKER WITH HIS
DEBUT UK SINGLE "MISS RIGHT" FEATURING SIZZLA

There can be little doubt that the past couple of years have finally witnessed Canada develop its traditionally strong underground hiphop scene dating back to the days of Maestro, Rascalz and Choclair to global recognition in the form of Drake, Kardinal Offishal and K'Naan.

While Toronto may remain at the core of the industry, other areas have begun to enjoy recognition in the form of Classified from Nova Scotia and now Oshawa's Peter Jackson.

The relative proximity of Ontario to the hub of major US cities such as Chicago and Detroit has played its part in Canadian hip hop history, none more so in the case of Jackson. Oshawa and Detroit not only share the distinction in being the HQ's for General Motors in their relative countries, but have seen their top local hip hop artists work together, specifically Peter Jackson with Naughty By Nature, Royce da 5 9 and D12. A close bond has been built in the past few years with these artists and their respective organizations resulting in several tours and recordings.

Peter Jackson and his Team 90 Nickel have developed a strong infrastructure handling music promotions, releases and a clothing line which has projected the artist on a national scale. As a prominent hip hop figure he has toured the country in support of Wu Tang, Busta Rhymes, Akon, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo and opened for Naughty By Nature for 12 dates and on the "Never Say Never Tour" with D12, Royce da 5 9, Joe Budden and Classified.

In 2008 he began working with producer Sheldon Moore (Citizen Kaine, K-OS, Big Pun, Jahiem) with the resulting The Introduction EP featuring JMore, Toya Lexus and Royce da 5 9.

Having signed a new management deal and working with the Richmond Street label, the 25 year old has subsequently recorded his debut album "In My Life" with features from Classified, Naughty By Nature, Royce da 5 9, Die Mannequin, Joell Ortiz and T-Minus. Also from this album is the track "Miss Right" featuring Sizzla

Miss Right has an instantly memorable hookline courtesy of Sizzla matched by a super smooth rap delivery from Jackson. The beat has a red hot mix of hiphop and Caribbean flavas with top drawer production. While making the accompanying video in Jamaica recently, Sizzla invited Jackson down to the legendary King Jammy's studio in Kingston. While playing a track from his new album, he saw Jackson vibing off the beat and then insisted he jump in the booth to drop some fire, so a further collaboration was locked down.

The pair spent 3 days together shooting scenes for the video from the ghettos of Kingston to the mountains and beaches of Ochos Rios. The result is stunning and will debut in the UK during October.

With UK remixes provided Rockswayer and Kader as well as a drum & bass refix from D-Region, it's a phenomenal introduction into the UK market and further evidence of the strength of the Canadian scene.
