“Stay Up High” is the new single from 4th Pyramid.

Toronto native 4th Pyramid has started the year off on fire. From the selection of his track “It’s So Hot” for the major motion picture “21 & Over” to a sold-out NYC show alongside A$AP Rocky to the Vice/Noisey debut of his Grandtheft-produced single & video “Friday Nights”, this rising MC/Producer is making moves and turning heads. In anticipation of his upcoming EP The Sky Belongs To The Stars, 4th Pyramid is releasing his latest single “Stay Up High”. The song, which premiered on RapGenius, is produced by fellow Toronto producer & Pyramid’s frequent collaborator, Rich Kidd and shows off 4th’s lyrical dexterity over a heavy-hitting guitar track with backing vocals by Ben Stevenson.

Gardener recently released his new LP, Pending, via iTunes. The 12-track album features appearances by Leftfield Keele, Christian Caldiera and Phoenix Pagliacci.

Gardener knows that, just like any sport, hip-hop athletes must adapt and grow with the game, or remain stagnant and get left behind. Gardener’s story-telling ability reflects the wealth of diverse experiences that he has to draw from. His drive to stay fresh leads him to experiment with different sounds, and mix melody with rap to create a sound the game has never heard before. Gardener’s passion is music and his instrument is his voice, but he is also a budding instrumentalist, and feels that understanding the craft of instrumentation is an integral part of his development as not just a rapper or musician, but as an artist. Gardener’s debut Pending culminates his latest works for receptive audiences.

Mississauga’s Smiff released his new mixtape A Real P.O.W. (Piece of Work) Vol. 1 a couple days ago.

Spring mixtape season is upon us, and fittingly, Mississauga, Ontario artist Smiff brings us a fresh collective entitled, “A Real P.O.W. (Piece of Work) Vol.” The mixtape comes with an abundance of heavy bass, high tempo tunes for the club, and notable samples adding to the energy of the project. The album dropped on April 10th (the birthday of Smiff’s mother), and he and fellow No Nights Off labelmate Ko hit us with the single, “Where I Don’t Wanna Be”, produced by Damaja.

A little late in getting this one posted, but Mad Dukez and Fresh Kils have released their collaborative The Open Affairs EP.

Paint the town with a groundbreaking new sound from Mad Dukez & Fresh Kils, inspired by F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel, The Great Gatsby – and the decadence and carousal of the Roaring 20’s,brought up to date for the 2020’s. The Open Affairs EP is the international dynamic duo’s six track precursor to this summer’s LP, Gettin’ Gatsby, and centers around an insatiable appetite for social observation, interaction and acceptance… and at times going overboard. Tantalizingly tight rhymes,soulfully swinging choruses, and hard-hitting drums all come together in voluptuous audio indulgence.
