First Play Live: Lou Phelps, 002/Love Me

Maybe it's something in our water, or that fresh northern air, but whatever it is, the burgeoning Canadian hip-hop scene keeps on delivering.

You might know Lou Phelps as one-half of the hip-hop duo the Celestics, fronted by him and his brother Kaytranada. But take note: the Montreal-based rapper is breaking out on his own. He released his debut full-length album, 002/Love Me, in September and we caught up with him at the iconic Drake Underground in Toronto to record him live.
