E 05 Mark Campbell - North Side Hip-Hop | The Framing Podcast

The Framing Podcast

Recognizing the potential for hip hop to transcend intergenerational barriers, Dr. Mark Campbell, Ontario Certified school teacher and Professor at Ryerson University, and his team, created the Northside Hip Hop Archive (NSHH) and a series of accompanying archival exhibits to re-engage students at all grade levels and preserve an integral piece of Canadian history. The NSHH is intended to be a tool to produce engaging, new curriculum content for school boards across Canada. The “I Was There” project celebrates the accomplishments of little-known hip-hop legends in Canada, adding personalised archival collections and narration to the existing archival content on nshharchive.ca. This year’s exhibits will be held in Montreal, Saskatoon, Hamilton and Toronto. Participants have included legendary Canadian names in hip hop such as: Dalton Higgins, Citizen Kane, Ghetto Concept, Michie Mee, Kardi, K’naan, Dream Warriers, Saukrates, Shad, DJ Ron Nelson, Leon’ Eklipz’ Robinson, DJ Kool Herc and more.
