lancecape-significant-artwork

New one from Lancecape, Theo3, Korry Deez and Adam Bomb.

The best possible answer would be some truly, SIGNIFICANT music. Theo 3 (Camp X/Freedom Writers), Korry Deez (IRS/Monolith) and Adam Bomb (Empire/Freedom Writers/Naturally Born Strangers) unleash monstrous verses over a neck snapping Lancecape production. Each MC displays what significant means to them. The track is very witty and aggressive. Nothing short of what a posse track should be. It further more displays that Hip Hop is alive and well north of the border.

Get ready to snap your neck to a real, SIGNIFICANT banger.

Don Von Jovi is working on his latest project, Dreams, Vision, Journeys, and “Go Girl” is the first track to be released. The single, like the rest of the project, is produced by Fly Boi Eastwood.

“I wanted to create a song celebrating the women in the world who strive to do things on their own terms. Women who can’t be bought or coerced into doing just anything. I feel the current trend of calling women “bad bitches” reflects poor taste and more alternatives need to be heard. I want women to listen to “Go Girl” and know that I’m representing them in the light that they deserve. One of my favourite old school tracks was LL Cool J’s “Around The Way Girl”, so I want to re-create that feeling to make something sexy and fun that you could hit the dance floor to without feeling degraded or disrespected.” – Don Von Jovi

SimpliCity is aa new EP from Razz.

After taking some time away from the mic for over a year, Razz is back with a new found energy and sound with SimpliCity. The 8 song E.P. defines his journey as an artist and his confidence in his music. Each song tells a different story and represents a certain location that has made an impact on his life and inspired certain moments. Toronto producer Savilion who after working closely with Razz was able to push the album in the direction he was looking for produces 6 out of the 8 songs. Savilion has been working with BLIS for the last several years and has been crucial for the growth of BLIS. Remy Perrin of Wavepulse Studios produced the two remaining songs “The Shore” and “Highway 28”. Unlike past releases from Razz, SimpliCity only features 2 other artists being Louisa Zhu and long time collaborator Calabru. The features on this project were not meant to outshine but rather to compliment the project as a whole! Razz has put together a project, which really reflects his journey and personality as a whole! SimpliCity offers the fans a mixture of feel good music with songs like All About That and Love The View as well as hard hitting Hip Hop influenced tracks like the Frank Sinatra sampled Here’s To You.
