In the second instalment of our new series "Making Waves" Caity talks to Classified about how smoking weed helps him creatively. Class also recalls the olympics and introduces us to a new artist he's working with.

The title of Diggy Simmons' new album raises a few questions. Luckily, he reassured us it has nothing to do with accidental pregnancies. Diggy talks about how the name has more to do with his hip-hop pedigree than a good old game of "just the tip" backfiring. Was that too much?

Every kid has a way to make a few dollars when they're young. The difference is not many kids are hustlers at the age of nine. Jeezy was one of those unique kids that knew he was destine for big things at a very young age. Ironically, even before he became a famous rapper he always had money. Lots of money. The only thing we're wondering is how do you gauge success when you're already rich?

I think we've all had a few crappy incidents involving an airline. That's why we were happy to discover that even recording artists are susceptible to airline incompetence. T-Mills tells us all about his scare at the airport and his genius plot to get it back. Subscribe to andPOP for new episodes of Making Waves every week!

It must be pretty cool to be Diggy Simmons. Not only does he come from a family empire built around music, he's also got his own career that's pretty impressive these days. If that's not enough, when he's not touring the country or recording a new album, he likes to spend time with his friends. So really he's just like any other college freshman. Well, except his friends are people like Justin Bieber...

We really like Dragonette, they're a fantastic combination of all kinds of good stuff. They seamlessly combine their own brand of pop with dance music. It's a fantastic pick-me-up if fever you find yourself in an emergency 'need to dance' situation. We asked Martina Sorbara about how she and the rest of the band found their sonic DNA.

Ed Sheeran and One Direction in THE SAME INTERVIEW. If you're a fan of these two particular acts you might want to sit down. We asked One Direction about who they would want to be their 6th member and they seemed to think Ed would be a good fit. So when we got the chance to talk to him we thought it was only fitting to ask about whether or not it's a possibility!

Who hasn't thought about a strategy for if/when zombies start infecting the world? It seems like a pretty normal conversation no? MT were cool enough to come by our studio to talk about how they would fair in the hunger games and their emergency plan for if there's a zombie apocalypse.

Sometimes an artist is so popular it's hard to get them to do an interview in a major market like Toronto. Luckily, here at andPOP we don't take NO for an answer. So we decided to take a road trip and ask him about going to the club and who pays the bills when he goes out. He also talks about how he signed his new artist Tyler Medieros. GO CANADA!
