SUMMARY:Stephen Hero + El Tata y Los Taqueros
DESCRIPTION:Also featuring Ambeez\, General Khan & Gearl\nGet down with the working class on May Day at the Seahorse! \n$10 in advance and $15 at the door\nDoors at 9:00 PM \n  \n \nIf cost is a barrier\, please reach out to info@mayworkskjipuktukhalifax.ca and we will accommodate you. \n \n\nStephen Hero + El Tata y Los Taqueros\n \nSTEPHEN HERO makes raw\, working class hip hop from Canada’s east coast. His style is influenced by alt-rap legends like Kool Keith and MF DOOM\, with a strong penchant for the relaxed and joyous experimentation of groups like De La Soul and Beastie Boys\, but with a contemporary\, often dark feel. Hero takes the ruling class to task unapologetically as he builds his varied and powerful catalogue. \nEL TATA Y LOS TAQUEROS could be best described as a melting pot of influences\, with deeply international roots thanks to the various nationalities of its core members: Gabriel Ibarra\, Chaly Benz\, Teijiri Emore\, and Daniel Salas. Together they mix the influences of their countries from the Philippines to Honduras\, into a Latin fusion of hip hop\, funk\, and other rhythms\, resulting in a style rich in versatile musicality that really makes them stand out. \n\n \nAMBEEZ is a hip-hop producer known for raw drums\, soulful samples\, and a feel-driven approach to beatmaking. A mainstay on the Canadian hip-hop scene\, he’s built a reputation for flipping obscure sounds into hard-hitting\, cohesive tracks. His style blends gritty boom-bap with subtle experimentation and off-grid rhythms\, textured chops\, and a strong sense of swing. Focused on mood and authenticity\, his beats are crafted to feel lived-in and replayable. With accolades and a growing catalog\, ambeez continues to refine his sound while carving out his own lane. Most recent release: Computer Sciences\, Vol 1 \n \nGENERAL KHAN is a local community organizer and artist\, born and raised in Kjipuktuk\, Mi’kma’ki (Halifax\, Nova Scotia). General Khan has been breaking barriers in the local rap scene since the release of her first album Wrath of Khan in 2021 and EP ON GOD in 2023. For Khan\, Poetry and rhyming is an expression that is tied to her cultural practice as an Afghan Pashtun and Muslim. Her art style is influenced by her lived experiences facing white supremacy\, colonialism\, islamophobia and ableism. Her next album Afghan Variety is set to release summer 2026. \n \nGEARL is an Indigenous Hip‑Hop artist from Eskasoni\, Nova Scotia. He shares lived  experiences of Indigenous life in the Maritimes and promotes Mi’kmaq language and culture. Years of steady work have earned him momentum\, multiple nominations and awards. This year he’s nominated for Indigenous Artist of the Year and Hip Hop/Rap Recording of the Year at the ECMAs. Gearl delivers powerful performances\, tackles difficult topics\, adapts across genres\, improvises songwriting\, and weaves personal experience into dense\, impactful concepts. @gearljij \n\nPhotos of Stephen Hero + El Tata y Los Toqueros by Mckenzie Power

His birthplace is home to anything but a thriving rap scene. He\, and the same fifteen faces\, are the scene. Darkness overtakes the Caribbean oasis\, and another Rap Night is underway. He performs to a small audience of supportive rap groups–people who helped him get his start. The moment is fleeting\, as conversations about Hull and his family moving to Canada are becoming much more serious. He would have to leave the rap community he helped build behind\, or at least for now. On the plane to Halifax\, Nova Scotia in 2013\, Hull is unknowingly being launched into a new phase of his identity. He will become known as Yohvn Blvck\, and usher in a new era of Canadian rap.” \n@yohvnblvck \n
