Brampton rap prodigy, 12, hits the stage with Wu-Tang Clan during Toronto farewell tour: ‘I was pumped'
' Wu-Tang is for the children,' Ol' Dirty Bastard famously declared at the 1998 Grammys. Over a quarter century later, the mighty Staten Island rap collective proved that they remain a potent cultural force — among both old heads and the kids — during their farewell tour stop at Toronto's Scotiabank Arena on Monday. Midway through the show, Wu-Tang Clan's de facto leader RZA was taking stock of the audience when he spotted Cairo Young-Abdullah, a 12-year-old rapper from Brampton who goes by the name Cairo Snow FTPO. Seeing his enthusiasm, RZA invited Cairo up to the stage, where he bounced along enthusiastically with Masta Killa, U-God and other members of the clan for three songs.

Zhang Zhehan Releases Third Physical Album Scavenger and Graces the Cover of Harper's Bazaar Vietnam for the First Time
Actor and singer Zhang Zhehan has officially released his third physical album, Scavenger. At the same time, the album's namesake concert successfully concluded this May in Hong Kong, China. In recent years, Zhang has been steadily advancing his music career, and now, for the first time, he appears on the cover of the July issue of Harper ' s Bazaar Vietnam. This marks a major step forward in the fashion world and reflects his steadily growing international presence. Scavenger: A Bold Exploration of Diverse Musical Styles As Zhang Zhehan's third solo album, Scavenger features eight carefully crafted tracks, five of which he co-wrote. Explaining the meaning behind the album's title, Zhang says, 'A scavenger is like someone quietly exploring on a lonely planet—bending down, head lowered, always remaining humble while searching for the unknown.' Musically, the album embodies a spirit of exploration and artistic ambition. From operatic vocals filled with theatrical intensity, sharp and rhythmic rap, to melodies inspired by travel and emotionally charged rock, Zhang continues to push his creative boundaries—offering a rich and varied listening experience. Final Track WU: A Three-Part Philosophical Journey The final track on the album, WU, was composed by Zhang Zhehan and written in a single night. The song is structured in three parts: the first, WU (fog), expresses a state of confusion and mystery; the second, WU (enlightenment), symbolizes an intense period of growth and self-realization; and the final part, WU (restraint), returns to calm, conveying a higher state of reason—one where discipline and tolerance lead to true inner freedom. Rather than just a song, WU feels like a meditative journey of introspection and philosophical insight. First International Big-Five Fashion Cover: A Milestone in Cross-Cultural Appeal Alongside his musical accomplishments, Zhang Zhehan is also making strides in the fashion world. His recent cover shoot for the Vietnamese edition of Harper ' s Bazaar Vietnam marks his first appearance on an international edition of one of the 'Big Five' fashion magazines—a milestone with special significance. The dual-cover spread showcases his distinctive fashion sensibility and expanding global influence. Upon release, the issue received enthusiastic praise and quickly surpassed 100,000 copies in sales, highlighting his strong appeal in the Southeast Asian market. With the release of Scavenger, the success of the namesake concert, and his historic Harper ' s Bazaar Vietnam cover, Zhang Zhehan continues to chart new territory in both music and fashion—solidifying his status as a multifaceted artist with growing international influence.

Oilers faithful Superfan Magoo hits TV screens on The Amazing Race Canada
Article content When Blair Gladue and his wife Skylene 'Nipîy' Gladue were asked to join this season's cast of The Amazing Race he had one big worry. Article content 'I looked at the schedule and I was like, 'oh, no, you know what? If we do this, I'm going to miss the first two rounds of the Stanley Cup playoffs,'' says Gladue, known best in Oiler fandom and Edmonton at large as Superfan Magoo. 'Then, if we lost any of those first two rounds, it's going to be on me.' Article content Article content Thankfully the Oilers made it past those two playoff encounters for Gladue, who runs Magoo Crew Entertainment when he isn't leading chants and beating on a drum at Rogers Place games. Gladue and his five associates host youth workshops across the country, focusing on hoop and traditional dancing, rapping and break dancing as they dispense their message about suicide awareness and anti-bullying. Gladue's wife Skylene is also an entertainer; she's unavailable for the interview due to prior commitments as part of the touring cast of Bear Grease, which is currently enjoying an Off-Broadway run at the Theater at St. Luke's in Manhattan. Article content Article content With no way to check in on McDavid and crew from mid-April to mid-May, Gladue was forced to stay in the moment as he competed against 11 teams representing cities from across Canada. This year, five contestants were drawn from Alberta: Jesse Harink of Sherwood Park (teamed with Ontario's Jonathan Braun) plus Calgary brothers Osas and Esosa Igbinosun battling with the Gladues for provincial glory. Gladue, who says that he's watched a number of seasons in the past, admits that he wasn't quite prepared for what he and his wife went through. Article content Article content Article content 'It was insane, amazing, and crazy,' says Gladue, 'Emotions were running wild, adrenaline was flowing. It's nothing like when you're watching it on TV. It's, in fact, 10 times harder than what you see on TV. This was a life-changing experience for sure.' Article content Article content The reality show, which features teams in competition with each other across the country, kicks off Tuesday (July 8) at 9 p.m. MT on CTV, and the CTV app, with streaming available the next day on Crave. Episodes after that run every Tuesday until the still-to-be-announced final entry.

The pace is hectic, the physical toll punishing. Article content That being said, Gladue insists that if anyone gets the opportunity to do it, they should snap it up immediately.
