I’m not as familiar with the GTA as much as, say, some of my Boi-1da.com compatriots. I know Drake, Weeknd, Alessia Cara, and some other talents. However, if the sound has artists like EverythingOShauN in it, I’m sold that this area is one of the most-talented and diverse regions in the music scene. Shaun’s Almost […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @SpeedontheBeat’ve Put My Name Up in Lights on New Track
Stick with me; I know the title reads weirdly. Years ago, during my UMD days, I played around with a piano-heavy instrumental I’d produced and recorded a song called “Disco Demolition Night,” a song that was anti-mainstream hip-hop.

Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @Jay_Wyse is Feeling Good on New Cut
Jay Wyse continues to make listeners choose wysely through this jam in which he interpolates Biggie. While I wish he would’ve rapped over the breakdown of this chill beat, the track is a dope late summertime anthem. I mean, who doesn’t want to ride through their city feeling good?

Normally, I’d say that this project is amazing and it should be listened to by all. I’d talk about how songs like “How I Know” are certified bangers that still offer up some real advice to listeners. I’d say that tracks like “The Man” are funky and clean, but still manage to shed preconceived notions […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: The Walls Close In, But @EvrythingOshaun Wants to Stay Afloat
As smoky, Auto-Tuned lyrics bounce off the walls of an increasingly small area, Toronto’s EverythingOShauN just wants to stay afloat and make the right choices, in love and otherwise. That’s the focus of this color-shifting visual from ShauN’s upcoming Almost Everything project. The track, which was recently featured on Noisey, showcases ShauN switching his flows to […]
