Song of the summer? Tattoo artist writes rap anthem for Maple Ridge, B.C.

Maple Ridge residents now have a summer anthem to blast at barbecues. 

“Someone had to do it, somebody had to make a song for Ridge,” said 34-year-old Alex Rousey, the tattoo artist behind the rap song and music video about his home.

The song titled Maple Ridge makes references to several local establishments, including Wolf Bar and the shuttered country bar Roosters and strip club Caddy Shack.

Meanwhile, the music video features Rousey in different locations in the city, including floating down the Alouette River and rapping in front of The Office Liquor Store on Dewdney Trunk Road.
