 Randolph College To Launch...Are You Ready? The Bill King Centre

By FYI Staff

The Randolph College for the Performing Arts (RCPA) will inaugurate its second location for post-secondary education this spring and it will be named in honour of legendary pianist, composer and music scribe Bill King.


The Bill King Centre will be located within the Daniels Corp. Artworks Condominium in the heart of Toronto’s Regent Park district.

The Regent Park district is an “important cultural destination as well as an ‘arts district' from which the next generation of great artists and performers will emerge, said Mitchell Cohen, President and CEO of The Daniels Corporation, which is to house the new 10,000 square foot cultural centre that will host studios, an event space, lounge and library.

Cypress Hill Returns With Their First Spanish-Language Album 'Dios Bendiga'

The hip-hop veterans spoke to Billboard Canada about the record backstage at Festival d'été de Québec in July, explaining the significance of the record and the importance of connecting with their Latin fanbase across the world.

Hip-hop legends Cypress Hill are back with their first Spanish-language album.

Released today, Dios Bendiga ("God Bless" in English) is the first LP in four years from the pioneering hip-hop group, whose impact spans over three decades. The new album honours the group's roots, as they are one of the first-ever Latin American hip-hop groups to achieve mainstream success, including the No. 1 album Black Sunday in 1993.
