[MP3] Eric Bellinger Claps Back at Tory Lanez (plus Two Bonus Tracks….)
T.dot, we gon’ let this stand??! Here’s the background according to his press team for those not keeping score
When it comes to tag lines Canadian rapper, Tory Lanez looked to Compton native, Eric Bellinger for what some may call inspiration yet others would say he blatantly stole. Eric Bellinger took to Instagram a year ago to address his concern about another artist stealing his tag line. “It’s like an artist saying We the Best and they not Khalid!” explains Bellinger.
Tory Lanez definitely should’ve seen this coming. A few weeks ago Lanez recently released his album “MEMORIES DON’T DIE”, and on the record titled “Hate To Say” he listed a clear description of Bellinger saying:
“R&B niggas with Sisqó haircuts, wildin’ and stylin’
They dissin’, guess they just tryna go viral, I feel ’em
This your favorite song, this gon’ be your favorite song
‘Cept when I say it, it’s really the people’s favorite song
You did a vid diss tryna flex the i8, I could’ve flexed a ‘Rari or Wraith, but nigga, I ain’t”
As if the diss record wasn’t enough, weeks proceeding the release of Hate to Say, Lanez continually bashed Eric Bellinger’s name when multiple people confronted him about the lyrics.
Of course Bellinger didn’t take lightly to the insults and decided to respond with a record appropriate for the insult titled “Yikes.” Bellinger drops an E-Mix over the Lanez ”Hate To Say” beat which Eric explains Tory also stole in the E-Mix. Unlike Lanez, Eric had no problem letting Tory and the world know exactly who is being referenced in the record.
“Your only talent is mimicking anyone that’s talented”, “Tory, when will it stop?”
Yikes indeed!

[MP3] William Darc – My Drug (Prod. by Rainer + Grimm)
Yes, that is a remake of sorts of Justin Timberlake‘s “My Love.” Peep the PR science:
A haunting force within Toronto’s diverse music scene, William Darc dives into the darkness with his enigmatic r&b. That notion is readily apparent on “My Drug”, a brooding reinterpretation of Justin Timberlake’s timeless “My Love” that ups the risqué with raw, provocative vocals and thunderous production to match. It’s the first taste of his forthcoming Darc EP, an immersive release produced entirely by fellow Toronto talents, Rainer + Grimm who had a hand in production on The Weeknd’s iconic House of Balloons and even used the same studio where ‘The Party & The After Party”and “Wicked Games” were recorded.
“My Drug” is already out. The Darc EP drops next month (April 27th) via Bleeding Hearts Club.
[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!
