	Log in to remove this sponsored message Colin Munroe Genre: Hip Hop Links of interest: Official Site MySpace Unsung Hero LP quote Info. "I was born for this." Too true. Though his hometown, Ottawa, is hardly a hotbed for burgeoning talent, Munroe, 28, didn't travel far to nurture his melodic interests. As a kid, he taught himself to play the drums and piano at home when he wasn't busy watching hockey. "I just kind of noticed instruments around the house] untouched and ended up sitting down and picking it up that way," he says as he downs a pulled-pork sandwich. It would be years before he performed for others and even longer before he caught Universal Motown's attention. But with remarkable takes on U2's "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and Kanye West's "Flashing Lights," accompanied by equally inventive 2008 videos that lit up YouTube (Munroe has a degree in cinema studies and philosophy from the University of Toronto) and a stellar mixtape, Colin Munroe is the Unsung Hero, Munroe is ready to unfurl his March '09 debut, Don't Think Less of Me. So at the tail end of oh seven I heard this guy's take on Flashing Lights and was pretty impressed and then I didn't hear anything for a while until Piano Lessons (with Joell Ortiz & Black Milk) found its' way onto my playlist and hit me upside the head. Tracked down his Unsung Hero online album majig and it was filled with magic (guest spots from Wale, Mickey Factz, Drake, Skyzoo, Izza Kizza etc didn't hurt it none). Dude sings rather than emceeing but he has the spirit. His debut album Don't Think Less Of Me is highly anticipated by myself and plausibly many others. He got next. Have a listen.

	The Unsung Hero Mixtape/LP whatever you call it, is almost flawless. Yes, all the songs are great apart from one. Track 8. I really stuggled to dig that shit. Apart from that, he's got some nice skills and some really good songs. He did a song called Without You with Black Milk which wasn't on that album. That's good. My fave's from unsung HERO (not including two Lupe already posted) - Last Cause (Did a remix of this with 88-Keys) I prefer the original. Brick in the Wall (Love this) -------------------

Also, I'm loving the 88-Keys Last Cause, and I'm Fine with Young Buck, these are good and unexpected combinations, where will they lead... stay tuned.

I will actually buy it. Especially since you can download The Unsung Hero for FREE! & I don't know why I said Without U wasn't on that album it was on Tronic, which I actually own lol. & he features in this song 'Too Much Too Soon' by Che Grand. -------------------

	Quickly becoming one of my favorite artists. Best Is Yet To Come by XV is great, as is the song (forgot the title) with Diggy. Can't wait until more official stuff. ------------------- R.I.P. Ethan Beyers/Zhou Tai Rocks Stay Classy, Coolcat.

	A long time ago, probably back in 2006? He had a song up called "Penguins" and another one "Coffee Tea " (Something like that atleast). Now I've looked EVERYWHERE for these songs but haven't been able to find them, except for Myspace comments about them on his page. I'd be grateful if somebody had a copy of these songs, maybe tweeting him could help twitter.com/colinmunroe.

	Guys style is so unique, Piano Lessons and The flashing lights cover/remix was my two favourites. Been waiting for an album ever since i first heard him. Gone a bit quiet recently apart from the song with Pusha T. Hoping something will pop up soon
