It’s a Canada Thing
[MP3] Jade Monet – Retrograde
New music from the West Coast sent to me by one of my homies out there. It’s got kind of twangy noir-is blues-soul feel, no? Here’s the official press blurb:
Little-known Canadian singer-songwriter Jade Monet effortlessly seduces listeners with her vocals on “Retrograde”. Although sonically, she appears almost playful at times over the track, the haunting production provided by Toronto-based Dusty Chesterfield hints at darker subject matter hidden within the lyrics:
“Fill me up, I won’t say no
don’t know how to say goodnight,
say goodbye, to my friends
it doesn’t end, this social high.”
On Retrograde, Jade starts describes the characteristics of a social alcoholic – the person who has a taste for alcohol doesn’t know when to stop and is always extending the party. Never taking responsibility for their own actions, they instead make excuses and blame others to justify their problem, when the reality is there is no excuse, they are just going backward – stuck in a toxic cycle:
“But it’s not me, it’s family
not my fault, pepper and salt
it’s simply spice – it’s how I’m made
no excuse, it’s retrograde”

[MP3] Cadence Weapon – Large (produced by Chef Byer and Trwubblenaught)
Haven’t heard form this dude in a minute. We won’t claim to have always been die-hard fans of everything Rollie has done MC-wise in the past, but this is straight, albeit very Southern feeling in vibe. Hit the jump for another track, “Don’t Talk To Me” (produced by FrancisGotHeat) that dropped a couple months back.
[MP3] Paris Louis – 3AM
Late night posting, only makes sense to post a track called, “3AM” from Montreal’s Paris Louis, no?
[MP3] Hanny – All I Want
Not just The 6ix. New hip-hop from all the way out in The ‘Peg (that’s Winnipeg for the uninitiated). Y’all f-cking with it??
[MP3] Rochester – Badu Feat. EMG
Truth be told it’s been a minute since I really thought about the rapper, Rochester so pleasantly surprised to see this come up on our Soundcloud feed.
