[MP3] NAV – Freshman List

The official PR blurb says this:

GRAMMY® Award-nominated platinum-certified Toronto rapper and producer, NAV shares his new single “Freshman List”. Fresh from his first ever headline show in London earlier this month, the single is taken from his forthcoming untitled album which drops later this year.

NAV has quietly arrived as one of rap’s most innovative and infectious voices. Early last year, he unveiled his self-titled mixtape, NAV and joined forces with powerhouse producer Metro Boomin for the collaborative album, Perfect Timing. Meanwhile, 2016 saw him not only co-produce the GRAMMY Award-nominated “Back To Back” for Drake, but he also featured on and produced the platinum-selling “beibs in the trap” for Travi$ Scott’s blockbuster Birds In the Trap Sing McKnight. A streaming phenomenon, he regularly averages over 7.6 million monthly listeners on Spotify making him one of the Top 300 most-listened-to artists worldwide. In addition to selling out solo shows coast to coast, he also joined The Weeknd for The Starboy Tour. This tastemaker favourite has also received praise from XXL, Complex, Billboard, and The Fader with Rolling Stone placing his 2017 Coachella debut among the year’s best performances.

But he really meant this!

This video though!!! In case y’all young ‘uns ain’t know, this….

[Album EP Stream + Music Video] Terrell Morris & Free n Losh – Molasses

Molasses is an apt title for this great EP release. There are, as outlined in an interview with Good Juice Box, elements of neo soul, hip-hop, R&B and jazz in its sound. This is strictly for comparative purposes but musically, think what you might hear if Toronto MC, Spek Won made a record with Chance the Rapper‘s Donnie Trumpet And The Social Experiment side project plus a little Anderson .Paak thrown in the mix too. In case it’s not clear to you, what I’m saying is this is really good and worth your time to check out.

[Album Stream] Tory Lanez – MEMORIES DON’T DIE

The recent knock on Toronto’s Tory Lanez, especially after the disappointment of his debut official album release, I Told You has been he sounds derivative, has a paucity of stand out hit songs, is not innovative etc. but, while we’ll concede his newest album, Memories Don’t Die, doesn’t really have any standout, obvious ‘hit’ singles either, it’s got a rack of good records on it and we do still like it and think it’s a solid album, more than I Told You, no question.

[Album Stream] Anders – Twos

Listened to this official full length by Toronto artist, Anders a few times since its recent release and we like it fine but we wish he’d stretched out a little further to create his own sound and lane. We hear shades of Nav, Majid Jordan, Drake, The Weeknd and others all over this record but what make Anders Anders??! I guess we’ll learn have to the answer to that on future releases, hopefully…
