Mighty chatted to ET Canada’s Brittnee Blair about the anniversary, with the host mentioning that the rapper is set to perform a show with Kardinal Offishall and Choclair at the CNE Bandshell in Toronto on August 25 to mark the occasion.
Mighty shared of the gig, “It’s gonna be an incredible show. I’m just excited to be a part of history, honestly. Like, just to be able to see that in the audience would be great and just to be able to share the stage at some point in the night. I’m flubbing my words because it’s like, it’s exciting for the young me.
“I can’t really fathom that concept yet of being appreciated amongst the greats, the people that I’ve looked up to growing up.”

Mighty — who won the Polaris Prize in 2019 with her debut album 13th Floor, becoming the first hip-hop artist to take home the award — then said of her thoughts on the 50th anniversary of hip-hop in general, and her place in it, “It’s just an honour to be recognized in that space, to be performing amongst legends as a part of that space,” recognizing that she’s been a part of discussions.
Mighty went on, “Even doing the Junos earlier this year and speaking to the 50th year of hip-hop in that platform as well… You know, again, I’m existing, I’m existing and realizing that people are seeing me as an important component of the culture and of the genre and of the storytelling and of the, the all of it.
“You know, I just want to keep moving in this path. I feel affirmed in that and I’m grateful. Hip-hop is so much of my expression and so much of so many people’s expressions.
