I got the BBM blast just before 5 pm informing me that an armed robbery has just taken place at popular Smoke Shop (recording) Studios, home of artists such as Eyesus, Father Price, Chuckstar, Bushrat, Chuckleberry, Anthony Malvo (the list goes on), and other popular artists. According to reports, a bunch of youths rushed into the residential property sometime this afternoon, and started with the robbing.

“Badmind naw guh fukkin STOP???  How dem juss pull a armed robbery on Smoke Shop – a house studio wit a trying Yute WTF is wrong wid dese PUSSYS!”

Fortunately, studio engineer Smokey (described as g good, clean youth) was the lone occupant at the time of the robbery (he lives there with his mom), and despite being violated and disrespected, he suffered no serious injuries. Speculation is that thieves appeared mostly interested in money and jewelry while also searching for weed (the recording studio was left untouched).

Smokeshop Studios is a basement studio located in Brampton in the Queen Street and Torbram area, and is usually very busy with a steady clientelle. Smoke Shop Studios just released a tribute song for the late Captain Barkey, who had voiced the tune for Smoke Shop only a couple of months back.

Our source, who will remain nameless, had this comment;

“Di youths dem hungry yes, but why target this youth, him good and clean – dedicated to the industry – how much u can get from a likkle man charging $30 per hour for studio time? Why dem nuh go rob jewelry store or bank!”

We are following up on this story and will be updating within minutes. The robbing is back people, so be aware when u go out of what’s going on. Dj’s and promoters are being targeted. Without naming names, just a couple of weeks ago, a promoter sensing he was about to be robbed – dashed to his car and banged up a couple of others while making a quick escape, not caring about the damage to his or the neighboring parked cars! He got away. Another DJ who sensed he was going to be robbed, took off, got a ride home from another person, and came back for his car the next day. Did you hear there was robbing going on outside of Centennial College the night that Cham performed there? Be careful people – di robbers are out there and dem hungry!
