Belly’s Go Sens Go!

I finally checked out this song that everyone keeps talking about. CBC Newsworld just ran a story on it. So here is the lowdown thanks to the Ottawa Citizen:

Belly is a rapper from Ottawa. Ottawa, for those of you who live in a cave, made it to the Stanley cup finals this year. Belly recorded the track, in just one take, at Ottawa’s Capital Prophets studio last week. Since then, Go Sens Go has caused a Sens-ation of its own on Ottawa radio. (I love that line).

“We haven’t had so many requests for anything,” Hot 89.9 station manager Josie Geuer said yesterday. The station first played the track last Thursday, when the Senators faced off against Buffalo in Game 1. The Senators came out with a huge 5-2 victory, and requests for Go Sens Go have been flooding in - sometimes as many as 50 calls per hour - ever since.

The song has been a hit on YouTube, as well, with Sens fans posting videos set to Go Sens Go. The homemade videos don’t bother Belly. “I think it’s great,” he says. “I’m happy that I made an anthem that everybody can be proud of.” Ottawa’s hip-hop hero hopes the song can do more than just whip his home team into a frenzy. “I definitely want to use this to be able to help,” Belly says. For $1.89, the single can be downloaded from the rapper’s website, http://bellylive.com, and all proceeds will go to support Rogers House.

So there you have it. You can listen to a good quality version on his website here. Also, check out some of these videos:
