Remmorii is visionary in his fear and faith-mused alt-hip-hop release, Before I Drown

Posted on 12 October 2023

Toronto’s most captivatingly introspective artist, Remmorii, used faith and fear as a muse in his latest organically electrifying release, Before I Drown, which lets candour cascade around the multicultural synthesis of style.

The experimentalism which breathed visceral life into the single to juxtapose the ennui in the lyrical delivery ensured that no one has a stronger stake in the claim of being one of the most authentically dynamic artists on any scene.

Before I Drown is beyond genre boundaries; it transcends them through the depth of the exploration of personal struggles. To balance the dark with the light, Remmorii infused incandescent optimism around the soulful hip-hop and RnB layers by sonically paving a path towards providence and hope for better days when you’re not treading water for survival, you’re making major strides towards personal growth.

Before I Drown was officially released on September 29: stream it on Spotify.

KGDASAV’s rap flow is sharper than his bite in his latest single, LIKE A DOG

Posted on 24 September 2022

KGDASAV earned his place on the Canadian hip hop map with his latest single LIKE A DOG. For the last two years, the Toronto-hailing artist has been endeavouring to bring a different sound to the city, based on the slickly metropolitan vibes that drip from the bassy, blazing EDM instrumentals, it is safe to say that KGDASAV has already succeeded with his unique new wave sound that could fill a dancefloor and amplify the energy on your high vibe playlists.

As for his vocal flow, the hooks are sharp enough to be dizzying, while the lyrics exhibit the wit that will easily take him up from the underground. If anyone can claim to be a triple threat on the hip hop scene, it is KGDASAV.

The official music video for LIKE A DOG premiered on September 10th. Watch it on YouTube.

Toronto’s hottest name in hip hop, INFAMOU$$ waxes lyrical wit in ‘Count Me IN’

Posted on 3 August 2022

In a time where people speak so little sense, Jordan Peterson has somehow become the voice of reason; artists such as INFAMOU$$, with their witty introspection, are worth their weight in gold.

His latest single, Count Me IN, is a grime-y, pop-infused atmospherically vibe-driven track which sees the Toronto-based rapper waxing lyrical on the banalities of common idioms before sharing his urban pearls of wisdom. With the momentum in his steady, cheeky vocals, the minimalism in the instrumentals becomes almost hypnotic as you listen to the emotionally balanced track run-through. He’s a cut above the rest; his listeners will need stitches.

The official music video for Count Me IN premiered on July 14th. Check it out for yourselves on YouTube.

Catfish has dropped their mindfully melodic feat of New Wave Hip Hop ‘No Magic’

Posted on 6 December 2020

Toronto-based artist and producer, Catfish, may only be 19-years-old, but they’re already exuding maturity and nuance within their uniquely beguilingly soulful signature Hip Hop sound. It is artists such as Catfish that leave me assured that the future of music is in safe hands.

While I appreciate aggression is a form of catharsis and protest in Hip Hop, the abrasive attitude can quickly scour away at the sentiment and message in the music, but there’s no danger of that with No Magic. It’s pure soul, a vibration you’re going to want to indulge in time and time again.

It comes as no surprise that Catfish is quickly rising up from the underground with their magnetically mindful lyrics, melodically relentless flows and accordantly transfixing beats. Get him on your radar.
