As a person with Lebanese roots who has never had a chance to visit the Middle East, this Syrian market brings me a little closer to what that experience may be like.

Quake Matthews' Halifax
With 8 albums in 15 years, Quake Matthews is one of Halifax's most prolific musicians. He's worked with locals like Classified and Ria Mae and legends like B-Real (Cypress Hill) and Freeway — and fans of his work include Drake and Scarface. His range is unmatched: check out the soulful Try with Sonreal and the B-Real Remix, where Cypress Hill's own jumped on Quake's tribute track. A Fairview boy through and through – this is Quake Matthews' Halifax.

After working on my short game at Indian Lake, I like to head into Martin's for a post-round meal and drink. I love the atmosphere, and the food is amazing.
This is my go-to place for pizza. It reminds me of my childhood growing up in Fairview — the cheese is piled high, the sauce stands out, and the crust is crispy outside but doughy inside.
Pro tip: Get your pizza well done.

When I first heard Kye Clayton a few years ago, I was super impressed. He's reminiscent of lyricists from the golden age and also produces his own beats.
Artist Spotify
Palestinian artist BASYL continues to impress me with his growth. His unique flows and melodies always represent where he's from, which is something I resonate with.

This place was like my second home growing up in Fairview. I love Joe and admire his hard work and warm heart. Check him out on TikTok and pay him a visit.
