Up In Arms Recordings MUSIC

Up In Arms Recordings is home to MC and Producer/DJ duo Touch and Nato.

How does a virtually unknown Albertan group reach number one on Chart Attack’s top 10 hip hop albums?

The answer is by making incredible music, something recognized by campus radio stations across Canada as Touch and Nato’s “Intelligent Design” snuck into the number one spot this past summer, topping efforts by well-known artists like Dizzee Rascal, Moka Only and Madlib.

Their hilarious video for “Adult’s Story”, a Slick Rick-meets-Maury Povich riot has already received thousands of plays on popular sites like YouTube. A growing list of positive album reviews include respected websites like HipHopCanada, Urbnet and CDBaby. They’ve even been played on CBC Radio 3’s popular podcast, with good friend Cadence Weapon singing their praises.

So, just who are these guys?

“From the land of the pickup truck and black rubber puck” (also known as Edmonton, Alberta) comes Touch, an aggressive, passionate emcee with swagger to spare, and Nato, one of the nation’s best kept secrets at making beats and manning the turntables. These two don’t care about anything except making booming, raw hip hop music- pop considerations are left at the door.
