New single from Dollaz Da Deejay.
A good look is more than just the clothes you rock. It can be when your boy asks about your show the other night and you tell him 1-2 thousand heads came out and he’ll be like “That’s a good look”.
Smashed out 5 songs in the studio and did 2 videos in one day, “That’s a good look”. Went for lunch and copped off the healthy menu because you trying to eat right “That’s a good look”.Your style and the way you represent yourself differentiates you from the rest of the crowd. Creating trends instead of following them. Showcasing examples instead of looking for them. Being original,
creative and at the same time being successful. Now that’s a good look.

A little late in posting this one as the release party was a week ago tonight, but Frankie Payne’s new album Clarity is available now. The LP features appearances from Theo3, Trish, Erin Reece and Cause The Problem and production from Tone Mason, Snaz, Rich Kidd and Big Sproxx.
“CLARITY is a collection of short stories that describe the answers that were revealed to Frankie Payne during his moment of clarity. With the help of some of the best producers and artists in Toronto a masterpiece of the urban elements (spokenword, hippo,R&B,reggae etc.) has come to life. The Album could easily be the most realistic, and well rounded representation of Toronto culture ever created. Every Track seems to speak directly to soul of the listener and creates a connection that allows you to visualize the things Frankie Payne is saying. In a time when music of substance is a rarity this album promises to be a gold mind of knowledge, Experience, and Great Artistry. You decide.

Lancecape’s first single following the release of his Return To The Classics Vol. 1 is “Watch The Streets.” Labi Siffre’s “I Got The…” is sampled on this one and features Korry Deez
For this track, Korry has taken it upon himself to flip the song vocally. “Watch The Streets” tackles the reality of life growing up in a low income household/community. He speaks on the struggles of life inside and outside of his home growing up. It is a very relatable song, that has an extremely powerful message. Anyone who understands what he is talking about will gladly accept this song with open arms.

“Against The Wall” is the new single from Young Judah’s upcoming Catch 22 mixtape, coming later this month.
The album touches on Judah’s experiences growing up and has a remincsent and reflective tone to the project. While touching on issues like the Wars in the middle east and its affects on Canadian and American soldiers and their families, to songs like “Give Thanks” where he reflects on how his actions as a wild teen affected his parents, Judah takes a more concious look at the world. “Catch 22” is a powerful statement from the 21 year old Toronto native and promisises to deliver a breath of fresh air in the industry in terms of content and writing ability.
