At the end of every month, we round up the songs and music videos by Canadians that were in heavy rotation. Throw some headphones on, kick back, and catch up on the gems you might have missed this month.
The self-proclaimed “Prince Of Toronto” has done well for himself this season. After getting a special shout-out from his idol, Lil Wayne, the rapper is beginning to fulfill his promise of “bodying the summer”. Jazz Cartier’s latest effort, “Waste”, builds upon his recent streak of quality cuts. The track sees the rapper link up with production team, Twice As Nice, who employ booming basslines and airy bells throughout an assertive instrumental. The track is Jacuzzi at his best, and hopefully it’s a sign of more things to come.
Birthday Boy, “Walk Away”
CJ Flemings is one of the 514’s most exciting new talents. This is precisely why we featured him on our Montreal’s Next piece, earlier this month. His latest song, “Wanted Forever”, totally oozes cool. Most prominently, the track has a terrific melody, which is enforced by some slick keys courtesy of MOSTHIGH’s Ahkilo.
