Sunday soul vibes from Brampton, ON’s Zenesoul. As a good friend of ours said on WhatsApp today: “After this year of devastation and isolation, staying in touch is more important than ever. We are clinging onto love and friendships as our lifelines!” Ain’t this song the perfect soundtrack for that sentiment?! FIYA!!!
Slight late pass but opening track, “Tic Tac” from Future & Lil Uzi Vert‘s Pluto x Baby Pluto album released two weeks ago (on Nov. 13). Ya dig?
Nice club banger track by O.G. T.dot rapper, Rochester. Too bad COVID got all the clubs shut down.
Nice fresh take on boom bap hip-hop from two–time Different Kitchen compilation alum and top Toronto DJ/artist/producer, DJ Nana. Here’s the science:
What’s a MICRO DOUBLE?
A collection of material that is longer than an EP and shorter than an album.
Concept created by the ear2muchcollective’s lead engineer, Ian ‘Project’ Theriault, this compilation features a cast of Toronto talent: I.JAMES.JONES, MC Collizhun, D.O. Gibson, eMDee, ELMNT and Rich Kidd (appears as the only other contributing producer); Mixed and mastered by newcomer Marcus Gapic, 11 of the MICRO DOUBLE’s 12 songs are produced by DJ Nana.
