Chances are if you're reading this you've got a Wordburglar rhyme running through your brain.I don't know which, cause lord knows there's a lot of crazy ones, but whatever has piqued your interest enough to read this little section on the CBC music page is something that you can't quite define, or shake. And you like it. That's good. A strong contender for the most likely-to-be-quoted rapper at the water cooler, Wordburglar's lyrically potent oeuvre runs the gamut from thoughtfully casual to ridiculously ludicrous. Responsible for more spontaneous chuckles from strangers wearing headphones, there's something about the way he puts words together that keeps people nodding their heads and smiling their mouths, which, let's be honest, is what music is supposed to do to a person, right? With finely constructed, whimsical lyrics, a sharp sense of humour and a dedication to true-school rap, 'Burg has carved a niche for himself with audiences across Canada and beyond. Don't sleep on his new record "3rdburglar" dropping May 2012.

2011 saw the group release with BACKBURNER ("HEATWAVE" now available on Hand Solo Records) but it's been 2 years since Wordburglar last dropped a full-length solo album (2009's underground hit BURGIE'S BASEMENT) and it's with great pleasure that we're preparing to unleash 3RDBURGLAR, Wordburglar's third full-length release of all-new material. Featuring 16 tracks of original lyrics, beats & cuts blended meticulously with 'Burg's patented style every track is a stand-out. 3RDBURGLAR also features production from Juno-nominated producer Fresh Kils & long-time collaborators Beatmason, Timbuktu & Uncle Fes and guest appearances from Canadian rap cohorts More or Les and Toolshed as well as Los Angeles underground rap legend Riddlore.
