C-Koo Slim

If you see C-Koo Slim anywhere on the streets around Montreal pinch him. He needs to knoow that what's hapening to him and music is for real.
Since releaseing his CD a few months ago, the young NDGer (other name Ambrose Hamilton) is finding it hard to believe the impact it is making on those who like their dancehall fused with a little hip hop and a slight touch of raggamuffin sound.
In fact, a few radio DJs around the town like what they hear and are giving C-Koo more air play than others who've been on the scene much longer.
The magical journey for C-Koo got even more crazy earlier this month when one of his tracks, No Party, was entered in popular Battle of New Tracks on K-103FM and remained the song of choiced for listeners for a very impressive three weeks running.
In so doing, the young Montrealer was blowing all-comers from other local artists to big, big names like 50 cent to Wyclef to 50 cent and Game.
The album is called Unbreakable and it comes with 14 tracks, all written by C-Koo, all with distinctive flavors so infectious that it would be difficult to listen to in its entirety without joining in the chant and the dance.
C-Koo says the response had been so amazing that he' still trying to keep track of where his music is making waves.
"This is an unbelievasble experience for me that people are actually bumping into my music," he says. "Wehear that it has been getting good play in Europe and on many internet stations and sites."
To be honest, I can't keep track of where itr is being played. I'm just happyt that it's out there and people are listening. He says the next step will be to release a video to go with the album.
He also hopes the album generates enough interest to take him to his ultimate goal of setting up a studio to produce and work with the massive of other young perrformers here in Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa.
As he looks forward to getting there, C-Koo looks back at those who heloped in getting him where he is: his mentor, oanother local performer Sampaloo, who influenced him to get into the music business, and who continues to help him get some high profile gigs.
So far he has taken the stage with some big names, including Beenie Man, Elephant Man and Capleton.
And he is looking forward to getting on stage at events around the community this summer, when this city which he has been calling home for the past six years can get a taste of the music that's breaking into places he coundn't imagine.
