This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight, for the show's 70th All Things Considered, we keep the focus on Canadian hip hop, but turn out attention to Peanuts & Corn Records, which is celebrating 30 years of holding it down for Manitoba and adjoining areas. First up is Yy, whose unique delivery, thoughtful subject matter, and empathetic blue collar nature make him a compelling rapper who deserves your attention. He is also a member of Turn the Gun, which is repped in this mix, and Park-Like Setting, which will be engaged with in a future mix. 

All tracks by Yy or Turn the Gun, unless listed otherwise.

Also doing slowed + reverb music now lol

To those of you looking for the slowed + reverb version of "Benji the Dog" by Mac Miller (RIP), it was copyright claimed after 15,000 plays. If you're desperate for the mp3, dm me here and we can work something out.
