A very brief history of The $5 Rap Show:

6 years ago, the options for seeing live, independent Rap in Toronto were pretty limited. It seemed crazy that local and established artists from across Canada, the US and beyond had next-to-nowhere to play when they rolled through Toronto. After running a series of successful one-off nights at Rancho Relaxo throughout 2008/2009, it was hard to ignore that it was slowly becoming the go-to hub for independent Rap in the city. Centrally located on the edge of Kensington Market above an unassuming Mexican restaurant, Rancho Relaxo welcomed the indie Rap scene with open arms not to mention some of the best sound in the city. By the end of 2009 it was pretty obvious that Rancho needed a regular Rap night, so in January 2010 the first $5 Rap Show took place, hosted by More Or Les, Wordburglar & Doogie Howitzer. Fast forward 4 years later and The $5 Rap Show is going stronger than ever. With a lineup of past guests that reads like a whos who of underground Canadian and US rap celebrities, The $5 Rap Show has been a welcome venue for album releases, world premieres and one-of-kind performances. At every show we strive to provide music fans a venue to experience fresh Rap, positive vibes and networking in a chilled out atmosphere.
