New music from Neo Tempus.

Toronto rapper/producer Neo Tempus presents “Davy Jones”, his self-produced new single from Yours Sincerely, his new album featuring Richard MacDougall, DUBB, and Canadian singer/songwriter Jack Bedford, who guests on “Davy Jones”. Tempus produced “When I Was Young”, a song by Aftermath artist Jon Connor featuring Chris Webby and Smoke DZA which was featured on Jon’s Unconscious State album. Tempus describes “Davy Jones” as “an embodiment of the phase I went through due to heartbreak and disappointment. I got inspired from Pirates Of The Caribbean, they incorporated the tale of Davy Jones into the movie. When I saw that he cut out his heart and put it in a chest because he had been heartbroken, I instantly related to it. Pain can leave us heartless sometimes, and it definitely had me. So in this song I’m Davy Jones”

Saskatchewan native and producer Rayne Drop has released his debut EP, Phantom Of The Chopera. The project features emcees from across Canada, from Toronto (iLLvibe, Truth Willis and Mickey Ulster) to Vancouver, Edmonton, Barrie and Prince Albert.

The dirty instrumental introduction, with it’s dark synths and crunching kicks, will make any rapper worth his or her salt want to jump on it; the path for this project has been clearly laid from the beginning. From the early Kanye-esque string sample of ‘The Revolution’; the stabbing horns of ‘Real’; the eerie vocal sample on ‘Pride’; the mid-90s New York vibe of ‘Basic’; the bouncy ‘A Little Rain’ (Fun Fact: the beat was picked by Rayne Drop’s son); the gritty cinematic ‘Confirmed Kill’ and the anthemic ‘Air Jordans’, ‘Phantom Of The Chopera’ truly appeals to fans of every facet of the genre.
