Hugo Samuels and Tony Langley were part of Toronto s underground rap scene captured in NOW s February 18, 1982 cover story.
In February 1982, NOW Magazine put the spotlight on an interesting new trend that was popping up in the Toronto music scene.

COMMENTARY | A little over one year ago, and just weeks before COVID-19 gripped worldwide attention, two Florida state agencies agreed to a remarkable, consequential but barely noticed settlement to a class-action lawsuit that had accused them of illegally kicking eligible people off the state’s Medicaid coverage.
That settlement, enforced by a Jacksonville-based federal judge, included a requirement that the Florida Department of Children and Families and Florida Agency for Health Care Administration go back and review more than 71,000 cases across the state in which the agencies booted people, some of whom have severe disabilities or illness, out of their health care coverage without adequate notice or without a proper eligibility review conducted by state officials.
