The music industry is definitely in a bit of a lull at the moment with the absence of touring and large-scale events, but KILLY isn’t letting 2020 slow him down. This year he’s already released tracks like “Sailor Moon” and “VV’s;” bagged his fourth JUNO nomination for his project, Light Path 8; and today is […]
A 12-second video posted on social media shows Drake looking uncharacteristically pissed.

Before the NBA went on pandemic-prompted hiatus, the Toronto Raptors guard was one of the league’s biggest rookie stories, eking out a spot in the reigning champs’ rotation thanks to his explosive offense. In February, he led all rookies in scoring, topping the […]
Paul Chin’s music hits that spot—weighty with bass but still gossamer, tangled with minimal drum and bass and pierced with the kind of delicately strung, distant-sounding synth that makes your heart ache. If you have a honey at home, this is the music for getting close with the lights low. Chin’s latest EP is the type […]
Toronto’s APB recently dropped a rousing music video for their new single “Change the Vibration.” Watch it above. The frenetic track, featuring an odd time signature and high-energy bars about shifting frequencies, comes with equally spirited visuals, jumping back and forth between shots of Black Lives Matter protests and APB performing on stage and in industrial areas. “‘Change […]
Tona is arguably one of Toronto hip-hop’s most consistent, versatile, and underrated MCs. Ever since he turned heads with the innovative beep-infused single “Dial Tone” back in 2007, the Scarborough MC has made his presence known through his distinctive baritone voice on a dizzying number of projects. As a solo artist, Tona has been remarkably consistent […]
When Drake first exploded into the rap mainstream with his debut album Thank Me Later—on June 15th, 2010, a decade ago this week—he seemed reluctant to rap about his hometown.
