Gallivanting in Mandarin Scarborough then Brampton

July 2nd, 2009

I’d just like to wish everyone a Happy Canada Day!

I celebrated by visiting Mandarin in the morning for their Canada Day promotion… a free meal for anyone who could present proof that they had Canadian citizenship.

I went with the FSA crew and we lined up at 9:30 in the morning. We thought we would get in the first cycle when they opened at 12:00 but cotdaaaaaamn we were wrong. After spending hours upon hours of watching 3 fights, 2 people passing out, and 1 poor guy having a seizure, we finally got in at 5:00. Here’s a little video I took for y’all to peep:

And a pic of us right before getting in:

We stayed for 2 hours then reached Brampton to watch fireworks. Carnival mission after was fail since it closed before we got there, but overall it was a cool night.

On another note, just wanted to let y’all know of two things.

1) The homie Kris Blade and his Toxic Slime crew from Vancity dropped their music video so check it out:

and

2) Dan from my Hiphopheadz days is holding an event at Kops records so if you’re in the Queen & University area check this event out, here’s the FB page:

FenaxiZ, AJM, & D-Pryde on TV

June 28th, 2009

Over the weekend, I was on FTV (Channel 606 on Rogers) with the homies AJM and D-Pryde.

I’m working on getting the footage to throw up on YouTube but for now here’s a sneak peak of us on set:

We then grabbed some eats at a trippy kebab house which looked like a wedding hall:

We were each seperately interviewed, but all three of us were there for the main purpose of promoting our show on July 4th. Peace to Gino and Anne for being cool hosts and I hope to be on the show again!

Oh ya, one last thing. R.I.P Michael Jackson. Here’s me and UGN at M-Studio’s Michael Jackson tribute night just chilling at the bar:

Allow Me To Reintroduce Myself…

June 28th, 2009

It’s been a long minute since FenaxiZ Online has been, well, online and I’d just like to welcome you to the site. If you’re an old follower then thanks for coming back after my hiatus. For people who are checking me out for the first time then an introduction may be in order:

I’m FenaxiZ, a 26-year old Filipino rapper based in Toronto, Ontario. Everybody calls me “Fen” so feel free to do so also! You can find out more details about me by reading up on my official artist biography; or, you can read my personal info to find out more on my life outside of the music industry.

In any case, a lot of years have passed since I’ve truly been involved with this site so it goes without saying that I’m not the same person I used to be. Whether you’re old or new to FenaxiZ Online, you’re going to get to know who I am through this new format I’ve chosen to reach out to the fans. The first two incarnations of www.fenaxiz.com took an impersonal approach to its updates, but now that it’s been revived as a blog, well, I’ll be sharing a lot more of my life than I’ve been known to do.

So what can you expect?

First, I’ll be using this blog to document the process of recording my upcoming third album Vintage. Yup, that’s right. I’m coming out with a new one baby! And I can promise you all that this project features me in my finest form. (And in case you were wondering about the current status: beats and lyrics are done for all 15 solo tracks so I am currently in the recording stage.)

Next, this blog won’t just be about my album. All aspects of my life from music business, community activism, home downtime, opinions on current events, and other random stuff will be posted here when possible. If I’m walking downtown and I buy some crazy kicks, best believe y’all will be hearing about it!

Finally, FenaxiZ Online will feature regularly scheduled updates.  The schedule is as follows:

  • The first Sunday of the month will showcase a song, artist, or album that I’m feeling.
  • The second Sunday of the month will review a drink for all my alcoholics out there.
  • The third Sunday will showcase someone or a group from the community.
  • The last Sunday will be a wildcard as I feature anything. It could be a comic book, a restaurant, etc. WHATEVER.

So that’s what it was, is, and will be. Oh yeah. Since this site is in blog format, feel free to add comments, contact me, send fan/hate mail, etc. The point is, I want to hear from YOU so I know I’m not just talking to myself.

PS: As for the current layout of the site, the approach I’m taking is that it’s forever going to be a work in progress. I know there are bugs right now in that it doesn’t display correctly on Internet Explorer; or that the content is still bare (you KNOW I have tons of pics and videos), but it’ll all go up in due time. Plus it gives you a reason to keep coming back, right? At least I hope so!

PEACE,

FenaxiZ
