It’s no secret to those who know me…I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with the City. From supporting the Leafs (even during the loses) to complaining about all of the new ”Miller Taxes“! Naturally, I was quite excited to hear about the Kiss 92.5 remix of the Jay-z/Alicia Keys hit “Empire State of Mind”. Especially since I am a pretty big Jay-Z fan (for real!) For the most part, I found it a bit over autotuned and more of a plug for the station than a representation of the City…BUT, it did inspire others to make it their own. In the process of youtube-ing the video I came across another “Toronto State of Mind” remix!

This one was made by Ron D Featuring Kim Davis (who by the way has one-heck-of-a-voice!!) It may not be for everyone, but it at least shows his (Ron D’s) experience in the City. Some thought actually went into making this version and for that I give it 2 big Real Estate Thumbs Up!

It also got me thinking… and no not of emceeing, but rather “What makes Toronto so special” …The diverse restaurants? The sports teams? The condos? The night life? Toronto City Council (another post altogether)? I can go on for days, but I’m more curious about what the readers think! Leave a comment below and let me know what makes Toronto so special to you!

AND if any other versions of the track come out (Drizzy Drake, I’m looking at you!) send it my way …if I like it, I’ll post it!!
