We had the privilege of having pHoenix Pagliacci performing as part of the "First Look Cypher" during our 5th annual Manifesto Festival this past fall. A very talented young lady, with an amazing work ethic. The music department were grateful to witness her growth and hear her stories. We are in full support of her Books, Bucks & Beats Vol.1: Holla At A Schola! project.

"Books, Bucks & Beats" started as a catchy little way of saying "School, Work and Music", the 3 main passions in any artist's life. 4 years later, it's the debut album of Toronto Hip-Hop artist pHoenix Pagliacci. Books, Bucks & Beats features production from Ka$h, Junia-T, KemiKAL and The Sol' Kidd, as well as features from L.A., Rapsody and Tona. Books, Bucks & Beats is just an introduction to the artist that is pHoenix Pagliacci. The bird who flies and the clown that cries are the 2 sides of the story, one worth reading from cover to cover.
