Thrice voted the best MC in Halifax, the Nova Scotia-based rapper Ghettosocks has grown to become one of the foremost Canadian hip-hop artists. With a style that's firmly couched in the late 1980s-early 1990s golden age of hip-hop, Ghettosocks lends his silky smooth flow to rhymes that bridge the interesting dichotomy between backpack-rapper positivity and the take-on-all-comers attitude of a hardened battle rapper. That Ghettosocks can make these diametrically opposed attitudes not seem like a contradiction is a testament to his lyrical charm and easygoing persona.
