[Full Length Documentary] 6IX RISING: Toronto’s Rap Ascendence

Misspelling in the title aside (!), this is long overdue project:

It’s no secret Toronto has recently placed itself amongst North America’s most buzzworthy music cities due to the blockbuster ascents of Drake and the Weeknd. But that attention has also turned the city’s local rap scene into a hyper-competitive, prolific, and highly creative environment where young artists are fighting for attention on the world stage. Noisey’s latest documentary feature is set in the middle of this vibrant scene, to profile some of its most exciting artists who are potentially on the cusp of international success. Featuring Big Lean, CMDWN, Friyie, Jazz Cartier, Pressa and Prime Boys.

[MP3] Listen to Music from BaByBoiRasz – Going2X / Project TheySayers / ShowLve / UNumb Me

Back to our regularly scheduled (Canadian) programming. The first one here from a month ago needs more of a song (arrangement, change-ups etc.) but we like the vibe on it and the other tracks he just dropped yesterday showed a marked improvement on that front. Lot of potential with this young gunner. Hit the jump for two more tracks that BaByBoiRasz dropped yesterday and let us know if you agree…

[MP3] Lil Skies – Playboi Shawtey (Prod. by David Morse)

This sounds like a potential hit in today’s hip-hop environment. Look at his press pic, you already know, right??! Hey, maybe it already is, we often miss when these things happen. Is it on Rap Caviar, that the KPI.

[MP3] Jack Bruno – 2 Goth Kids Feat. Famous Dex

Two goth kids
Dance to The Cure
Never fit in
misunderstood
Maybe just too ratchet
Maybe just too bored
u never fucked me over
How do I know for sure

This here is, to put it as politely as possible, what they call hip-hop decidedly not made for the ‘hood! Check out the background:

“2 Goth Kids” was inspired by one night when Jack was at a goth club in LA and had a moment of unfiltered bliss while dancing to The Cure’s “Lovesong.” Premiered by Hypebeast, it was placed on Spotify’s Clout Culture playlist and featured on Apple’s Alternative Releases upon release. Bruno is releasing two albums in 2018 produced by DJ Camper (Big Sean, Drake, & HER) and Hit Boy. His upcoming singles will feature Ski Mask the Slump God, Playboi Carti, and G-Eazy.

Not sure what we think of this yet but if it f-cked around and became a (novelty?) hit, we wouldn’t be at all surprised.

[MP3] Flashy Fuego – Goku (Remix) Feat. Lil Spice

This one could’ve been mixed and mastered better but the song itself go. Or do it?? Another one after the jump….
