Since March 1997 iLL GrOOve GaRDen has been playing thick servings of underground hip hop and artfully infuses the straight jazz and blues that most young Africans are unaware was created by their people.

At home here in Montréal, indisputably the cultural nerve centre of Canada, hip hop has become one of the major sources of cultural assimilation for youth. iLL GrOOve GaRDen draws in the masses with stylized hip hop DJ-ing and opens up the discussion to contemporary Black issues. The show stresses the importance of hip hop as a tool for social construction and making leaders out of its listeners.

Every Sunday 11pm - Midnight (EDT)
