  • It's no secret Toronto has recently placed itself amongst North America's most buzzworthy music cities due to the blockbuster ascents of Drake and the Weeknd. But that attention has also turned the city's local rap scene into a hyper-competitive, prolific, and highly creative environment where young artists are fighting for attention on the world stage.
    Noisey's latest documentary feature is set in the middle of this vibrant scene, to profile some of its most exciting artists who are potentially on the cusp of international success.
    Featuring Big Lean, CMDWN, Friyie, Jazz Cartier, Pressa and Prime Boys.

They needed to show manz like Tory lanez, Nav, Halal gang, ...And show the Caribbean, West African, Somali and Middle Eastern influences loool like on the realz WHERE THE HELL WAS HALAL GANG. Those manz make the tdot sound unique not just regular Atlanta trap.

    I grew up in a tough community in a tough country but it was never an excuse to live being no gangster ....Canada is one of the best countries that has lots of opportunities.....the Indian kids come to Canada go to school ...work low paying jobs and make something of their life’s whilst helping their families back home in India ....many other people comes from tough third world country ....no excuses ...whatever you sow you reap
