Some people learned to bake sourdough; Alessia Cara wrote and recorded a new album.

In 2019, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh was the only party head to attempt the Hip Flip during the federal election. Now, ahead of the 2021 election, he’s done it again thanks to a hilarious new interview with Narduwar.

Rising Toronto rapper Jordan Rhymes has dropped a reflective new single, “I Remember.” The emotive track has the 25-year-old reminiscing about a past relationship over a brooding, piano-based trap beat. “I remember when this was your pleasure/You used to pull up in a Mazda/I remember things that you would say, shit/Nowadays it’s just like la […]

Two of Toronto’s fastest-rising artists, Road Runner and anders, have joined forces for a weighty new track, “Made It Happen.” Over a contemplative, gently simmering beat, they both share stories of the paranoia and losses that have accompanied their respective come-ups. “How does it feel when nobody around you just feels how you wanna make them feel?/I lost my […]
