      If wassi was killed by the cops for pulling a gun on them while wanted for a double homicide how can you call his death a murder? It’s inflammatory and flat out wrong! How do you not know the definition of murder? If someone pulls a gun on us here in America we’re allowed to legally defend ourselves and if we happen to kill that person that doesn’t make it a murder and it damn sure don’t make you a murderer it’s called self-defense. God you people in Europe really are out of touch. Your governments have neutered you.

    One important thing I don't think you mentioned is that it's much harder for street rappers from Toronto to make it to America because a criminal record prevents you from crossing the border. That's why Pressa is super lucky he got his charges dropped and is now living in L.A.

    Got into Toronto rap around 2014-2015 right as the scene exploded out of the city and started spreading to the burbs. Now I can say I don’t hear nearly as much Toronto rap these days since all the most popular artists have all been killed, disabled, or are in jail.

      Being a lifetime fan of Hip Hop it makes me smile to see the biggest artist in the world be Canadian and for my local hip hop scene to finally get worldwide recognition. I just find it unfortunate that it's gone the direction of the Chicago drill scene where the art is now motivating real life and vice versa. We can still sell streams without murdering ops for clout. 😔

    We got people dying from Etobicoke to Scarbz, Sauga to Ajax, Vaughn to T-cliffe Park, ESP to Complex, Malvern to Rex, Galloway to Dixon.... its absolutely wild how many people we lost from 2015-2020..... and 2018 will always be one of the saddest years for us in T.O.

Like weird weekends is god status among men, and I feel you have a little of that with the rap influence and a dash of your own style. You should do more of this and try small new things on each doc.
