It’s a T.dot Thing
[MP3 + Music Video] EMP – 8AM
This is wild old (from 9 months ago!) but we missed posting it here (it did make it on our site capo, Ian’s Soundcloud page though). It just came up again though ‘cos we’re in the middle of reviewing videos for Prism Prize. Some good street sh*t, surprised it wasn’t bigger. Or was it?
[MP3] Bhad Bhabie – Babyface Savage Feat. Tory Lanez
Is this… good??!
[Album Stream] Listen to the Rizon – PHASE ONE (EP)
New young gunner out The 6ix who dropped the excellent track, “Tags” a few months back drops a full EP, PHASE ONE which sadly does not include “Tags” for some reason. But why??[Album Stream] Belly – IMMIGRANT
I’ll give Belly credit. He’s an artist who’s actually only gotten better with time. Not many rappers or musicians in general can make that claim. The Toronto artist just dropped his brand new IMMIGRANT album today. Stream it in FULL above.
[MP3] The Darcys – Chasing the Fall
We like the new single by Toronto’s The Darcys. Here’s the PR backgrounder:
Toronto duo The Darcys follow their summer sizzler, “Just Here With My Friends” [feat. Leah Fay of July Talk], with “Chasing The Fall”, sharing the single today, prior to its release tomorrow, October 12.
“Chasing the Fall” is about taking a tumble down the rabbit hole. It’s a night in your life that starts out strange and only continues into disarray. Discussing, Wes Marskell from the band stated, “I like the images of Zinfandel by the pool, casinos and heart-shaped jacuzzis, as they all have the kitsch of a love story in a bad movie. However, there’s an unlikeliness to the events, hitting the jackpot or rain in Palm Springs, and you get the feeling you’re letting someone take you on a ride that’s full of chaos. Once you’ve done it, you’ll do anything to do it again.”
Always the life of the party, The Darcys music is lush with vibrant synths, 808s and funk bass that makes their sound feel as at home in today’s modern pop landscape as it would in a crate of classic vinyl. Never shy of taking a risk, the critically acclaimed duo have created an expansive body of work that includes three full-length albums, a 20-minute instrumental piece, an atmospheric interpretation of Steely Dan’s AJA, and a number of collaborations. The band’s last studio record, 2016’s Centerfold, is a California postcard, rich with themes of escape. 2018 sees another evolution for The Darcys as they turn their gaze inward, writing songs with a maturity and social awareness not heard on previous releases. This isn’t to say the party is over, if anything it’s just begun.
