Checkmate & Concise have been a fixture in Vancouver’s hip-hop scene for years, dropping major hits, albums and mixtapes on the regular. Their recently released album titled Love & War was created with just that in mind – a little love, a little war and unequivocally all hustle and heart.

With pure creative freedom these Defenders have created a no-holds-barred album with a diverse mix of guest appearances that are sure to impress long time fans and attract new ones alike. Royce Da 5’9, Evil Ebenezer,Hazel and Mia Moth – to name a few – add to the balance of upbeat party cuts and gritty, vicious bangers that make every track from Love & War a necessity on your summer playlist. The say all is fair in Love & War so it’s best to listen up.
