Friday May 2, 2007 the Bedford Sackville Weekly News WEEKLY People Capton under photo of Garnet "EXPANDING HIS HORIZONS: Garnet Estabrooks is moving beyond his Trail Park beginnings." By Kevin Toal-The Weekly News
When Garnet Estabrooks was growing up in Lower Sackville, he use to swipe his sisters' rap tapes when they weren't home. "I became really passionate about it when I started playing basketball and listening to hip hop to psych me up for games," he said. Estabrooks has since translated that passion into a career as a hip-hop artist, manager, producer and actor. On May 1, he released his first solo CD, The Garnet LP. Produced by fellow artist, Classified, the CD features appearances from Knucklehead, Jordon Croucher, Mile Boyd. Class, Whitemic, and DJ IV. Previously, Estabrooks has been featured in mixed tapes with other artists, and has been part of the growing Halifax hip-hop scene for many years. Now, with the help of friends, he is prepared to offer his own musical vision. With a fast talking rhyming style, Estabrooks uses music to talk about his life experiences and his dreams. "It's a good way to vent things, and I feel like I have something to say," he said. He credits the Internet and campus radio stations such as CKDU 88.1 FM, for giving the Halifax hop-hop scene increased exposure. Estabrooks uses two websites to showcase his material. The Internet has also opened opportunitites for CD sales. Although his CD will be availible at Music World locations in Bedford and Dartmouth, other record stores have not been accommodating. "It is hard," Estabrooks said. " When I first started to put CDs into stores, it was easy. People were supportive. Now it's tough to get them in there." Aside from his given name, he is also known as Martin Finch, and to fans of the Trailer Park Boys, he is Greasy G

"A couple of my closest friends were rappers, and because I wanted them to be successful. I said "Well, I enjoy the business side of things," Estabrooks said. He set up tours, did press kits, and managed several groups. The group that I managed back then , we toured with Choclair and The Rascalz nd I was the one working the deals." What's new: He's put out a mixed tape before, and has been featured on other artist's albums, but is about to release his first solo album.

He has a principle role in the Poor Boys Game with Danny Glover, which was shot in Halifax and opens in theatres this summer. Estabrooks says he landed the role in Poor Boys Game because of the guidance he received from Trailer Park Boys director Mike Clattenburg.
