Canada Post’s newest Black History Month stamp set celebrates the vibrant roots of hip-hop in Canada.
 
The stamps pay tribute to three of the country’s most dynamic hip-hop trailblazers – Maestro Fresh Wes, Michie Mee and Muzion. Each of the artists is recognized for helping to shape the genre in Canada, while infusing the music with a uniquely Canadian sound.
 
Maestro Fresh Wes
With his 1989 debut album Symphony in Effect, Maestro Fresh Wes (b. Wesley Williams, 1968) became the first Canadian MC to break into the mainstream.
 
Michie Mee
Michie Mee (b. Michelle McCullock, 1970) was Canada’s first hip-hop superstar and built a reputation for continually pushing boundaries.
 
Muzion
Hailing from Montréal, Muzion brought a distinct sound to the world of hip-hop, layering French, English and Haitian Creole into their music.
