Here’s another extremely obvious statement: Toronto’s Sylo is poised to blow up. Only that one we’ve been expecting. For a while now, actually. Already familiar to Toronto audiences thanks to […]

Barack Obama continued the yearly tradition of unveiling his summer playlist Monday, and the list comes complete with its fair share of surprises and head-scratchers. “Over the past few months, I’ve spent a lot of time listening to music with my family,” Obama wrote on social media. “I wanted to share some of my favorites from the summer––including […]

Drake‘s new single “Laugh Now Cry Later” was accompanied by a music video, which was shot at the Nike World Headquarters Oregon, and featured appearances by Kevin Durant, Odell Beckham Jr., and Marshawn Lynch, but it was one line from Lil Durk‘s verse that seemed to grab everyone’s attention.  “I’m in the trenches, relax/Can you not play that lil’ boy in the […]

Much has been made of the long-standing cultural relationship between Canada and the UK, and that goes double for London and Toronto. Both locations share the deep-seated influences of the Caribbean diaspora and with that comes a unique musical language and a lineage of music scenes continuously crossing back and forth. Newly-minted Toronto collective No Tourists […]

Ronny Jackson, a retired Navy admiral who is now running to represent Texas’ 13th congressional district this year, has messed with Rihanna’s fanbase.  Rihanna recently shared a tweet and Instagram post that showcases art that proudly reads “FUCK TRUMP.” When Jackson caught wind of where the artwork was, he responded to Rihanna, tweeting, “Painting ‘F**k […]

After nearly 18 years, arrests have been made in the murder of Jam Master Jay, the local NBC affiliate reports.  Federal officials and members of the New York City Police Department said on Monday that they plan to announce charges on two suspects connected to the murder.

Della Reese once said that if you threw it in the air it would turn into sunshine. Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion may not have taken it that far, but they did throw it on a song and it became the No. 1 record in the country.  Billboard revealed on Monday that Cardi B and Megan […]

Roy Woods has released the video for “Like Pascal,” a standout track from his newly released EP, Dem Times. Directed by L.A. Rubio, the video evokes memories of when the nationwide lockdowns were in their strictest phase.
