I first heard of REZZ when I was going to see Zeds Dead at TD Echo Beach for Deadbeats back in August. I typically give a listen to the artists on the lineup to get an idea of what they are like and if I can get down or not. The first track I listened to from her was ‘Edge’ and from…

IshDARR‘s second album, Broken Hearts & Bankrolls, is expected to drop on Friday, and the man dropped two tracks over the past week to hype it. Before we get into ‘Bad Four You,’ which will be on the new album, let’s talk a little bit about ‘NINEFIFTIES.’ ‘NINEFIFTIES’ is IshDARR’s take on the Weeknd’s ‘Starboy.’ I would normally argue that the…

GTA just released a hot new track that’s making waves, ‘All Caught Up.’ Featuring smooth vocals by Tinashe, the duo create an upbeat catchy track, that’s perfect for the club or chilling at home. GTA is unique in their style, managing to capture all audiences, fans of electronic and not, with this great single. The production behind the track is simple and…

I had the pleasure of attending 2 our of the many Manifesto events this year. The Festival, which is now in it’s 10th year has been something I’ve wanted to go to for as long as I’ve known about it, but not knowing a lot of people and not living in the city always got in the way. When FUXWITHIT…

Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall are gaining well deserved recognition on the charts this fall. Going from their mediocre and repetitive hit ‘Selfie’ in 2014 to ‘Closer’ in 2016, it seems like The Chainsmokers have finally found what the people desire. ‘Closer’ was released late July and even though it is a tune that almost every fraternity plays on repeat…

I’ll never forget the day I realized how badly I want to visit Australia. It’s my sophomore year of college and I’m driving around with my buddy Chris, complaining about how all of the rap in our frat house sounds the same. He agrees, and puts on a song that opens up a whole new world for me: ‘Chase That…

Carlos Coleman, aka “Los” or “King Los,” has been active since 1999. He’s put out more than ten mixtapes and albums in that time. And I’ll bet that a good portion of our readers have never even heard of him. I’m here to change that. I first heard about King Los in an interview with one of my favorite rappers…

Manifesto is no longer that free event downtown where local talent and Kardinal Offishall occupy Dundas Square to entertain indie hip hop fans, tourists and shoppers leaving H&M. No shade to Kardi, but today’s iteration is a far cry from the Toronto festival’s humble beginnings. While I do miss the days of celebrating Toronto’s homegrown talent with no admission, I…

S.L.M.N. comes to play with a new track that everyone can add on their ‘past 1am sus’ playlist. Features by Emerson Brooks add the perfect vocal accompaniment to Luu Breeze’s rhymes; both complimenting the easy mellow vibes S.L.M.N. creates. This kind of masterful sound with seemingly amateur artists is an indication that S.L.M.N. is worth watching out for. Words by Hayotha T. Follow her…

I have a confession to make. I never really looked into IshDARR until I heard his new song, ‘Locals.’ If you haven’t given him a chance yet, stop wasting your life and turn this up now. I think we can all agree that there are a number of different ways in which a rap song can be good, or even…
