On top of getting ready to release Doing It the Right Way, he was also selected to complete a residency in Thailand teaching emceeing to youth in under-served communities as part of the Next Level cultural exchange initiative.

Toronto alt-r&b collective HONORS have revealed an official remix of their Molly Kate Kestner assisted single, “On Again”. Courtesy of Best Night Ever, it finds the producer taking the track to stunning new heights with support from the likes of MrSuicideSheep.
HONORS are also prepared to unveil a new release. Led by an equal parts sleek, sultry, and ultimately infectious single called “X2UO”, it also comes equipped with a thunderous b-side cut called “Control”. The two tracks offer a glimpse at what’s to come on HONORS’ forthcoming debut EP which is slated to drop this fall, not to mention what they’ll bring to the live circuit as they head out on the road in support of NoMBe.
Hit the jump for the original verison of “On Again” too…
