Byhiphop

The 2017 Juno Awards are tonight and early on the award for Rap Recording of the Year went to none other than Jazz Cartier. Beating out Drake, Tory Lanez, and Belly, Hotel Paranoia took home the award and Jazz delivered a passionate speech and Instagram post reiterating points made in the speech.

He addressed issues with Canadian radio and the Juno Awards for their lack of support of hip-hop acts and stated that they should “stop bullshitting and start playing our own on our radio so these kids don’t feel the need to leave to the states in order to make it or get heard.” Jazz also took time to shout out all of the other nominees as well as mentor and Canadian legend Kardinal Offishall.

Check out the Instagram post below and stay tuned to see if Jazz takes home the award for Breakthrough Artist of the Year as well.

• won best rap album of the year at the Junos tonight. Something that means a lot for me being from Toronto and also repping Canada. My drive to push the culture would be nothing if my mom wasn’t putting me on to the legend and someone I can call a mentor @kardinalo, Jelleestone, Michie Mee, Maestro, Point Blank, Main Source, Adam Bomb the list goes on man this shit is in my blood. Shoutout JB and GCP too. This means a lot to me but like I said this evening the Canadian radio is gonna have to stop bullshitting and start playing our own on our radio so these kids don’t feel the need to leave to the states in order to make it or get heard. That’s going to be one of my goals this year to make sure that happens. And also @thejunoawards while you guys enjoy all the hip hop in the world at your after parties, next year you gotta have this category filmed on television. Love ??? PS love to Drake, Belly, Tory & Tasha. You all inspire me I share this with you guys who deserve it more than I do.
