Dinner is calling. And afterwards, I need to go to the gym.

Is Tom Green just a flash-in-the-pan gross out comedian?
Not in Canada. Over here, he started out as a famous rapper known as MC Bones, a part of hip hop group Organized Rhyme. And they were no joke—they were nominated for a Juno.
Organized Rhyme knew they were no gangsters. So instead they leaned into their Ottawa roots. This was during a time when most Canadian rap came out of Toronto.
"Check the O.R." was the group's lead off single. They introduced a highly self-aware, suburban, and overtly comedic approach to Canadian rap that showed hip hop could embrace suburban goofiness.
