CBC’s Duke Eatmon brought a camera crew and emcees Mizery and Meryem Saci down to the station to talk with Butcher T about the past present and future of the culture.

Butcher T has been credited as being the person who brought hip hop to Montreal – by regular trips to New York City – hauling music over the border to bring to the record store he worked at, “Stretch’s Records”.
