Summary

This week on A Waste of Time with ItsTheReal, we welcome Toronto's own young gun Jazz Cartier to the Upper West Side! We talk growing up in a military family, moving from Canada to Idaho to Georgia to Kuwait to Connecticut, always on the move. We discuss his mom putting him onto classic records but not letting him wear bandanas like Juelz, getting kicked out of boarding school, playing high school tennis, and the best story we've ever heard about a first-time freestyle! Jazz talks about how Toronto's downtown evolved from the OVO era through the XO era and into the years where Jazz and his roommates ran the craziest party in town. All that, plus making a fan out of Lil Wayne, getting his records played on Drake's radio show, working on meeting Rick Ross, hoping to collaborate with E-40 and Gunplay through his new show with Vice, and so much more!

0:51.4	It was during CMJ Week many, many years ago. And this will tell you how long ago it was. Mark Ronson had a showcase for his then label called, I think it's Alito, or it's all I do. It's spelled ALLI-D-O. So we're talking Rimefest. We're talking Daniel Meriwether. We're talking Wale. And they were backed by Mark Ronson and the Dap Kings.
