about

8:30 in Newfoundland is a peculiar title for an album from a prairie town in Saskatchewan. Epic is from Saskatoon and the album is a reflection of that. The Canadian Broadcast Corporation would have commercials for televising shows airing in prime time which was 8:00pm in each time zone across Canada, except in Newfoundland where prime time was 8:30pm. It was a fitting title that played on this unique fact as Epic’s style was anything but conventional.

8:30 In Newfoundland gained a lot of traction in the early days of hip hop message boards and there was a instant love or hate for Epic’s style that helped the album stand out in a burgeoning underground rap scene.

One of Epic’s best traits is bringing people together and 8:30 in Newfoundland was another example of this as it unified the the Winnipeg and Saskatoon scenes cementing a connection that still runs deep.

I was around for the creation and recording of this album. It was a magical time as we were honing our skills, building a scene, a label, and creating our crews first professionally manufactured cd. 2021 will mark 20 years since its release and I couldn’t be prouder to re-release it on our newly minted Saskatoon Folk Rap Records.

The lasting impact of 8:30 in Newfoundland is it it helped a few kids from the sticks tour the world and make lifelong friendships.

Please see liner notes of the vinyl for my shoutouts and thanks. I want to acknowledge soso and Isosceles for seeing the possibility of our Saskatoon rap scene to be taken further in the years proceeding this album.
