One of the most-talked about cuts from Drake‘s newly released Dark Lane Demo Tapes is “From Florida With Love” — a MexikoDro-produced track that finds the rapper reflecting on his 2009 robbery. The incident went down on May 31 in Drake’s hometown of Toronto. He and his date had finished eating at a restaurant and had walked to Drake’s SUV on Beatrice Street. Moments […]

In the early morning hours of September 14, 2017, Anthony “Fif” Soares was gunned down by two men while inside a Toronto Community Housing building. Soares, who was 33 at the time of his death, left behind a girlfriend, and a young daughter, but the OVO affiliate was also survived by the brother he had in Drake.  Three days after his death, Drake honored Soares by getting […]

It was late in the fourth quarter against the Oklahoma City Thunder, 13.4 seconds remaining to be exact. Fred VanVleet had just missed a three-pointer that could have given the Raptors the lead, but Shai Gilgeous-Alexander came down with the rebound and the Raptors needed to foul. But Terence Davis forgot. Toronto trailed 98-97 and […]

Sure, Animal Crossing might offer a wholesome, anthropomorphic escape from the coronavirus quarantine, but if you’re looking for content that speaks more directly to the phenomenon at hand, a Canadian developer has made just the video game for you. A Fold Apart, by Toronto-based Lightning Rod Games, is a puzzle game about a long-distance relationship. […]

Fred VanVleet isn’t one to take things lying down. Unless smothered by his two children as he plays games with them around the house, VanVleet has keenly avoided taking the cards that are dealt to him, laying back and accepting whatever fate comes his way. After going undrafted, he knuckled down and competed his way […]

Majid Jordan’s dream is to make an album that’s unskippable. It’s not so much about the quality of each individual song—although of course they strive for front-to-back bangers. But what they’re really going for is a journey. A narrative. Something whole. These guys want to make an album so coherent, so self-contained, that it demands […]

Tory Lanez has never been one to shy away from bold comments, and now the Toronto rapper has said there’s “a lot of similarities” between him and 2Pac. Speaking with Rob Markman for Genius’ For the Record interview series, Lanez mentioned how he connected with one particular quote from the west-coast legend. “I feel like honestly, and n***as is […]

fAdd Dvsn to the list of artists whose new projects are mercifully arriving amid COVID-19 social distancing, meaning we all have plenty of time to take the sonic deep-dive required for proper enjoyment. On Friday, the duo—comprised of singer Daniel Daley and Grammy-winning producer Nineteen85—released their new album A Muse in Her Feelings via OVO […]

Like most of us, Shan Panjwani remembers it like it was yesterday. Watching with bated breath alongside the family that got him addicted to sports, at his local AllStar Wings and Ribs, 4.2 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter of Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Toronto Raptors and Philadelphia 76ers. Four […]

After an extended hiatus, Toronto’s APB (formerly known as The Airplane Boys) are back with a video for their new single “Soundtrack.”  The track finds the Scarborough boys back in their pocket, Bon Voyage spitting chilled-out flows and Beck Motley singing a searing hook over a funky, spacey slice of neo-hip-hop. “This a soundtrack when your time is […]
