Toronto/Brampton, ON — Few artists in the GTA have matched the relentless pace of Connoisseur Ghost in 2025. With his brand, NLMG (New Legends Music Group), behind him, Ghost has cemented himself as both a powerhouse performer and a visionary curator, leading some of the year’s most talked-about hip-hop events across Ontario.

His fall schedule shows a continuation of this dual mission: performing, curating, and supporting both NLMG artists (GreenBeans, NovaaSoFlyy, Khalil, Sato, Sadbøii Ace) and collaborators like Lil Yuh X4, DLo 116, and Slim Dinero. Upcoming events include:

Sept 5 — Toronto Hip Hop Boat Party (End of Summer Edition)

“2025 has been about proving that independent artists can move like majors,” says Connoisseur Ghost. “From Rivoli to Spot One, from Roney’s tour to The Rose Theatre, I’ve been everywhere this year, putting in the work and making sure the culture knows my name.”
Connoisseur Ghost is a Brampton-born, Toronto-based hip-hop artist known for his commanding stage presence, versatile sound, and entrepreneurial drive. NLMG has become a hub for creatives, but 2025 has elevated Ghost himself as one of Canada’s hardest-working independent artists.
