It’s hard to keep up with new tracks every week. With a bevy of songs being released every day, we made a list highlighting some new tracks from Canadian artists.

Wynne Badoe f/Bobby Brugal & City Fidelia, “3 Sides”

From: Toronto

Flanked by two of Ottawa’s finest, Wynne Badoe’s latest throws three confessional-like verses over a hauntingly uplifting instrumental. Each verse offers a personal tale but each rapper never wallows away in their sadness.

Gustavo Guaapo, “No Hoes In The Studio”

From: Toronto

While Guaapo’s latest track “No Hoes In The Studio” might sound like it’s ready for the club, the song is far more paranoid than the title lets on. The high-intensity keys of the track bring emphasis to the lyrics in the song’s chorus.

Samalong, “One Of A Kind”

From: Montreal

“One Of A Kind” is the ideal track for holiday relaxation. Produced by Junia-T and Only1kng, the song’s cool, laid-back personality is perfectly suited for listening by the fire while the snowy winter slowly settles in.

Mannie, “Fantasy”

From: Toronto

Opening with a smooth guitar riff and transitioning into heavenly vocals, Mannie knows what works best for him. His vocal style is reminiscent of late 2000s R&B while incorporating modern instrumental flairs. From his new Bad Intentions EP, which also dropped today.

JD Era, Meeco, DJ Access, “Change”

From: Toronto

JD Era’s collaboration with Meeco and DJ Access is a time capsule straight to the 90s. With a dusty boom-bap-inspired beat and tight sticky flows, JD Era creatively honours the distinctive sound without over-relying on nostalgia.

ShaqIsDope, “Colombian Coke”

From: Toronto

After a year of silence, Toronto rapper ShaqIsDope returns with a pristinely produced track that sees him unload a myriad of topics clouding his mind. This track marks the first single off a new album due out early next year.

Enima, “CC”

From: Montreal, QC

On “CC,” even through the braggadocious lines, Enima still finds a way to rap about his inner turmoil. Enima used the video to announce that he signed with Capitol France, Universal Music Group’s France division.
