Now, the beloved Canadian rapper is marking the milestone with a new record, “Start Anew,” which is all about embracing change, facing loss, and moving into uncertainty with hope. He sits down with Tom Power to talk about his journey from being a curious teenager in London, Ontario, to an award-winning broadcaster and one of the best hip-hop artists in the country.
