“Killer” is the latest single from King Reign. The track features production from Gameboy and cuts by DJ Grouch.

Here is my first single “Killer” off upcoming album called “Sincere”! This is a story that represents the angst of growing up a target based on misconceptions and racial stereotypes. Speaking on the aspect of being a victim of circumstances and shedding light on living in a world where beauty is skin deep, where often judgments are made in haste based on our outer appearances. “Killer” describes the struggle many face as they tread a thin line between love and hate. Referencing Trayvon Martin, the judicial system, and the political system. Killer features production from Gameboy and scratches from Toronto’s DJ Grouch.

Goliath PAW releases Canary In A Coal Mine EP

Goliath Paw recently released his EP, Canary In A Coal Mine, which features production from Sinima Beats, Marcus Kane, SupaCrank It, Superstar 0 and Industry Rejectz.

Canary In A Coal Mine (EP) is a collection of songs written and recorded by Canadian urban artist Goliath PAW. This EP takes hiphop and combines it with a heavy pop and rock influence creating a unique sound and style all in its own. Each song promises a story for the listener to follow delivered alongside clever wordplay and a sense of humor. All songs are upbeat with the exception of “GetAway” a slower tune with a deep thought-provoking story. With concepts everyone can relate to, songs like “Weirdos Win” and “Higher” teach self confidence while “Buried Alive” deals with matters of the heart. The name “Canary In A Coal Mine” is an old saying which today translates to “warning.”

“By naming the EP “Canary In A Coal Mine” I am sending out a warning to the Hiphop world that I have come to change the way rap music is written, recorded, and heard!” – Goliath PAW
