Rickey D : Respect The gods who built the urban scene – Montreal, Quebec, Canada (Photos, Video, Biography)

These are some of the guys who brought the hip hop business to Montreal, and even to Canada in the late 70s, early 80s. Djs, promoters, a unique Mc. I see these guys pretending to be there but they weren’t there. I won’t ”expose” them, but the disrespect of G@Ds, in both languages, won’t work with me. You can hide in your cliques, but you can’t hide from the truth #word #rickeydevents #disrespectful

Who is Rickey D ?: Entrepreneur – Hiphop Promoter: SINCE 1985

IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN SO AND IT ALWAYS WILL BE. RICARDO DALEY’S (RICKEY D) FIRST OFFICIAL EVENT WAS RUN DMC IN 1985. SINCE MONTREAL HAS WITNESSED AN UNDENIABLE LOVE FOR MUSIC AND THE TALENTS THAT MAKE UP IT. RICKEY’S EQUALLY IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTION TO MUSIC WAS MADE THROUGH MARKETING AND PROMOTION. HE HAS THIS ABILITY TO TAKE AN IDEA OR A CONCEPT AND DEVELOP IT UNTIL IT HAS BEEN REALIZED. RICKEY HAS DEVELOPED HUNDREDS OF EVENTS — INCLUDING MANY BLOCKPRODUCERS.

RICKEY HAS ASSEMBLED A PROFESSIONAL PORTFOLIO INCLUDING GIGANTIC SHOWS LIKE THE FUGEES, LL COOL J, WUTANG CLAN, A TRIBE CALLED QUEST AND THE ROOTS, ALREADY BECOME CULT. HOWEVER, A FEW PARAGRAPHS CANNOT SUITABLY DESCRIBE A CAREER OF SUCH A LEVEL. IT WAS RICKEY WHO INTRODUCED THE MONTREAL TO EMINEM AND D12, AND IT WAS HE WHO RUN THE RISK OF HOLDING A SMALL ENGLISH FUNK GROUP NAMED JAMIROQUAI!

IF YOU MEET HIM AT THE RIGHT TIME, RICKEY WILL TELL YOU ONE OF HIS MUSICAL MISADVENTURES, WHEN HE WENT TO PLATTSBURGH TO BRING THE GREAT AND LATE CHRISTOPHER WALLACE BACK TO THE BORDER, FOR WHAT WAS HIS ONLY VISIT TO “LA BELLE PROVINCE” . “FUCK THE CANADIAN BORDER” WERE ONE OF THE WORDS SPOKEN THAT NIGHT, BUT HAPPILY RICKEY’S CAREER DIDN’T END HERE. IN FACT, SHE WAS JUST BEGINNING.
