Two new previously unreleased tracks from a new Ajax, ON-bred but now working in Kensington Market in downtown Toronto singer that just hit our radar. Hit the jump for two other recently released tracks from this promising new singer. RIYL Daniel Caesar to make the easiest, most obvious comparison.

[Album Stream] JVLY – Ache (EP)

Debut EP from Australian producer, JVLY. Title track giving me vague Tame Impala vibes and that’s waaaay OK by me.

You can also hear the title track from the Ache EP on our FRESH PICKS Spotify playlist HERE: spoti.fi/2AhpU8y

[Music Video] TYRIQUEORDIE – Episode Three

I’m not even gonna try and explain this one. His PR team thought better of trying too hard to either. Peep game:

Scarborough rapper, TYRIQUEORDIE has returned with the third installment to his ongoing better watched than explained Noisey premiered video saga. Titled ‘Episode 3’, the visual take you from an eclectic assortment of animated videos sourced from corners of the web, seen similarly in his Episode 1 and 2, only this time Ty goes even further. After the first song ‘Kardashian’ transitions into a skit, the second track ‘Club Junipero’ begins and we get the first glimpse of Ty’s face as the video follows him through a hazy club function. The episode concludes with the infectious ‘Just Dance Don’t Die’ which feature’s new animations and a verse from rapper SOHOSWNK.

My advice though? Just hit play, watch and experience!

Don’t know much about this super dope joint other than it’s from Vancouver.

[Music Video + MP3] Joey Bada$$ – When Thugs Cry (Prince cover for Triple J’s Like A Version)

Super dope (kind of) ‘cover’ of Prince‘s iconic “When Doves Cry” by Joey Badass. Really excited for were Joey is trying to do musically. He is confounding even my expectations of what he could do and certainly those of hip-hop conservatives and classicists out there for whom his early 90’s-inspired throwback music was a wet dream.
