J Shiltz drops the latest single from his album Still Standing. The track of the same name features Rich Kidd and DJ Docta and was produced by Kev Brown.
On May 9th 2013 J Shiltz released his second album “Still Standing”. The sequel to his debut album “What I Stand For”, the sophomore effort came equipped with dope lyrics from both Shiltz and features alike (Rapper Big Pooh, A.G, Junia-T, pHoenix Pagliacci and more) over banging beats by some of Toronto’s illest beat makers (Rich Kidd, Lancecape, Charisma, Relic and more). Ranking as high as #5 on the national community and campus radio chart EarShot, a Much Vibe featured music video, and both stateside and worldwide acclaim are a mere fraction of the buzz the album has generated. Yet in a climate where timeless music falls victim to a here today gone tomorrow mentality, sometimes a reminder is needed. For that reason Shiltz has decided to release the DJ Pack to the Kev Brown produced and Rich Kidd assisted title track “Still Standing”. DJs can get the dirty, clean, instro, and acapella via the link below.

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.
