- Canadian producer Dub J unifies a Toronto A-List roster of JRDN, Maestro Fresh Wes, JD Era, Bizz Loc, Turk, Roney and Jelleestone on a new single speaking out against the rising gun violence in Toronto.
This record marks an extremely important milestone in Canadian Hip-Hop. It's a bold statement made alongside intergenerational voices to convey a powerful unified message to the people of Toronto at a time when many lives continue to be lost to senseless gun violence.
WE CAN DO MORE
The ENOUGH IS ENOUGH movement's primary goal was to bring national awareness to the heightened acts of gun violence in Toronto, Canada.
We are proud to say that this goal has been accomplished after the hit single “Wish I Could” by A-List Canadian artists Dub J, Maestro Fresh Wes, JD Era, Bizz Loc, Turk, Roney and Jelleestone charted to #1 on iTunes and was covered across Canada by more than 180 media publications including CBC, CBC Q, CTV, CP24, City News, eTalk, ET Canada, RX Music, iHeart Radio, Yahoo News and more.
ALL Proceeds of WISH I COULD are going directly to Toronto communities affected by gun violence through the ENOUGH IS ENOUGH campaign.
Please consider making a donation through our GoFundMe campaign at GoFundMe.com/enoughisenoughto
Where exactly will these donations go?
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH is directly financially assisting families of the many innocent victims of gun violence. Some of these expenses include:
• Funeral Costs
• Medical Expenses
• Rehabilitation
• Legal Fees
Often times these families just need groceries for a week while they deal with the unexpected loss or injury of their loved one. They may be unable to attend work and fall behind on bills or in some cases even face eviction. We will be there for them.
"Wish I Could" artists involvement in the community
We firmly believe that having mentors like Maestro, JRDN, JD Era, Bizz Loc, Turk, Roney and Jelleestone speaking to the youth inspires and encourages a positive energy shift that results in an improved community. We are committed to shifting that energy.
Below are some examples of what we are actively doing in the community.
Roney and JD Era attend "Do the Knowledge" program
Recently Roney and JD Era attended a 2 hour Zoom session through The Blackstone Foundation Library’s Do the Knowledge program. This session had a tremendous turnout of approximately 20 youth, ages 14-21 discussing how violence within the Black community affects your friends, family, culture and society as a whole as well as a discussion on the inspiration and creation of “Wish I Could”.
The Blackstone Foundation Library is committed to ensuring access to culturally-relevant literature, mentorship opportunities and vital support systems as well as healthy engagement opportunities in safe, enabling spaces. Learn more by visiting blackstonefoundationlibrary.org
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH is committed to assisting The Turk Foundation
Not only is Turk an artist on the #1 Hit Single “Wish I Could”, he is also a passionate community leader.
Turk came from a life of guns and crime and has turned everything around to be one of Toronto’s hardest working advocates for the youth.
The Turk Foundation provides an environment where you from The Greater Toronto Area residing in neighborhoods that make them more susceptible to gun and gang violence can learn and practice leadership skills and focus on ethical decision making. The Turk Foundation is able to reach at-risk youth and offer much needed care and support from the team members that have lived this lifestyle and know first hand what the consequences are from poor decision making being a youth with no role models, guidance or anyone to turn to for assistance.

Maestro Fresh Wes speaks to over 300 Rexdale students
Rapper, Actor and Author Maestro Fresh Wes recently did 2 presentations at Saint Angela Catholic School in Rexdale, Toronto. Maestro spoke with 300+ students, K - Grade 4 and Grade 5 - Grade 8, discussing Resiliency, Expectation, Operation and Destination. This was Maestro’s second time presenting at this school. The response was overwhelming.

Summers of the gun in Toronto 2005, 2012, 2018 and 2019.
Remember all those summers, especially the Danzig one in 2012

But there'll be better days.

Roney & Jeelestone🔥
THIS SONG IS SUPER LIT,,HEARIN THIS MIGHT JUS SAVE BODYS LIFE,,HEARTFELT TRAK 4SHUR...
as long as you're repping gangs and destroying your community with drugs the violence will never end. the message shouldn't be about stop shooting each other it should be about find a legal hustle, grind and do something positive.
Problem is, these youngins can find a pack before they even get to the bus stop.
Nobody around to show them about sales jobs with base salaries.
Everybody they’re around lives check to check. & those 9-5 workers who complain about bills all the time don’t have time to guide youth in their community.
So when you not feeling that love, you gravitate to the first sign of unity(gangs).
Doesn’t help when you go out in the world & everywhere you go mf’ers ask
“Where you from?”
Sometimes it’s a genuine question, most times it’s a source of identification for politics.
And if there is politics, that leads to static, which turns into a vicious cycle of retaliation.
This comment is absolutely right, but until the cost of living isn’t so crazy there won’t be much improvement.
Like they say, desperate times call for desperate measures & crime is a symptom of poverty.
A N Do you know how much willpower that takes, let alone for people who literally have nothing, they feel its their only option...
There will always be criminal activity. Don’t care what you say, but you have to find a balance.. and right now it’s far from that. Any positive energy is good. Respect to the guys for coming together for this. You know damn well they probably aren’t all fond of each other or their areas..
@@xavierjanvier4975 well said
1M is just around the corner this track is gonna blow 🙏🏽

Respect too the ogs
Great message. One a side note, seeing an aged JRDN and JD Era makes me realize I’m old af
mad respect to the ogs for this. hopefully the gun clapping ygs grow up and open their eyes
Straight up and well said. These young yutes think lifes a joke and think that there "boyz" are going to be there forever but once someone has a kid or has there own spot they need to pay bills on thats when Crews start gettin smaller. Its ife nothin stays the same. I used to have a huge crew 15 years later everyone's got kids family's careers and no time for bullshit... the kids really need to wake up. Lifes no joke
You better believe it. Gun violence happens in all parts of Toronto (this includes Regent Park).

🙏🙏🙏. Love that you called it timeless. That’s exactly what I wanted. 🙏🙏🙏
Love this so much Thank you Kings
I love what the man dem are doing with this but its also so hard to not think about all of the negative things these guys contributed and are still contributing to on the daily. I guess you can say that one must truly have to understand the cause one is fighting for, and these gentlemen definitely can vouch for that!
Some of them may have made a few mistakes in the past but all of them have realized it wasn't right and they have all spoken out about making a change and trying to right some of their wrongs but to say they are still contributing to negative things on the daily is just wrong turk has been doing nothing but trying to be the best role model possible he works a real legit job has the turk foundation which gives back to the community and kids he has the youth boxing camp is making and putting out youth cards doing free turkey drives for Thanksgiving and definitely is not contributing at all to any negativity and is doing the exact opposite and spreading positivity and always doing very positive things and jellestone has been producing music for a long time and has produced a ton of amazing stuff and speaks to the youth you might wanna take a second and actually learn what these guys are doing outside of music they are all trying to better themselves and their community what you said is so disrespectful and you don't have the slightest clue about them can't believe you said they all were contributing to negativity daily go google the turk foundation and do some research before you go commenting giving the guys actually doing something positive a bad rep
@@T.T.E.O.T. I know what they do and are currently doing. I'm more speaking to the fact that regardless of the positive music or the youth foundations that some of these guys are a part of in their communities, when a kid searches a Turk song on UA-cam, they are banging "Sick when u do that" and dem songs. I get that people make mistakes and you can grow and learn from them but you also have to live with them. What I'm saying isn't disrespecting them at all, they are the ones who chose the lifestyles they lived and made music to highlight it.
💙💯💪🏾
I can't believe that Toronto's gun violence is over politics. It's really sad.. Enough IS Enough.
You understand what kind of politics it's over? It's not the politics u think lol
Respect🙏🙏💯
Big chuuune with some of Toronto's Grests respect for this one.
👑🔥🔥
NECESSARY
💯
I could be wrong, but isn't Bizz Loc one of the most ignant Toronto rappers ever?
Bizz also has one of the biggest hearts and wants to see change. Did your see him giving 300+ backpacks to the kids in his neighbourhood? Bizz is doing a lot for the community. We have to respect and support him making moves to better himself and his community. Dont tear him down. Celebrate it!
Repping da city 💯🙌🏼
💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥
