“Riding through the city, I move slowly now...” when Legendz Gc utters this bar, in the midst of a bouncy, electronic melody, it resonates amazingly. Likewise, when Drake’s co-signed talent, Chromazz, adds her featured spin to this hook, its catchiness grows tenfold; making this latest drop, “Ride” downright irresistible. The record is threaded with a tropical, dancehall beat and hip-rolling 808s. Stitching those threads together, are the stunning performances of Legendz Gc and Chromazz themselves. Mercilessly, they ravage the instrumental; spitting barrages of bars at the drop of a verse. Where Legendz Gc asserts his dominance over the Montreal Hip-Hop seen with a charismatic verse; Chromazz proves to wield one of the most infectious deliveries and flows in Toronto. Together, they give The North another summer banger. One that— through its incredible Caribbean beat, bar-heavy verses, and contagious, sing-song chorus— will have every club in Canada bouncing in sync.

“Not For Sale”
A bubbly, tropical marimba, dripping in a fondue of sweetened, afro-trap percussion and chocolatey vocals form the delicacy that is “Wonka”; an introduction to Kenya-born, Los Angeles-based singer, Victoria Kimani’s, sultry masterpiece, “Afropolitan”. In only seven tracks, the Afropop Queen effortlessly weaves a work of ebony excellence. The deep, afrobeat grooves on tracks such as “Should Be”, “My Sweetie”, “Boom”, and “Not For Sale”, paired with their infectious R&B/Pop palettes, paint the portrait of a masterful creative. Most indisputably, Victoria has conquered the art of blending native rhythms with wide-reaching, mainstream melodies. And her voice is the cherry on top. On all of the tracks, she floats dreamfully, suspended in an atmosphere of reverb and harmony, through lyrics of love, lust, and perseverance. With each breath on this project, it is as if the records become more and more contagious. “Afropolitan” is boundless in range and application; being just as ideal for parties, the car and the club, as it is for a night alone. Considering the rising popularity of world music, and this flawless offering from Victoria herself, don’t be surprised if you see her name popping across the Billboards. She can’t be more than months away from international stardom.

Music is a universal language. One that mythically transcends most national and societal boundaries normally unbroken on planet Earth. If you want a beautiful, polarizing example of this concept, look no further than award-winning, Cameroonian emcee, Vocaliz, and his eclectic 12-track opus, “Afrikan in New York”. “Afrikan in New York” is in all ways Vocaliz’s “break-out” album; his solo debut apart from Ghanian producer, Afana. It is an evolution on the artist’s signature sound: marrying African sonics with Urban inflections. The record kicks off with a title track that features rhythmic, tropical marimbas, backed by a scorching clap and thunderous 808s. One thing Vocaliz makes certain on this track is that his national pride will never die; setting the tone of African conceptuality and confidence for the rest of the album. This similar sentiment is echoed on a personal favorite, “Oh Na Na” a reggae-esque anthem whose main beat-break is a loop of organic, hip-hop drums. It is in these moments on the album where his Brooklyn basis shines. Tracks such as “At the Speed of Love” (another favorite), “May Be”, and “We Up” (another favorite) have a pristine, Golden Era hip-hop tonality to them; while the tracks succeeding them are much more modern and “trap” in expression. 


As the only rapper on the entire album, Vocaliz phenomenally brings something new and refreshing to each and every beat he spits on. Whether its afrobeat, reggae, boom-bap or trap, this Cameroon-born, Brooklyn-based emcee attacks the music wholeheartedly; able to bend and maneuver his accent to suit and emphasize some already remarkable bars. When it comes to his sound, Vocaliz proves on this astounding debut that he has conquered it; and the universal language of music is yet another one he’s doubtlessly mastered. Vocaliz his recent shared his journey with TheDopeness interview series. Enjoy “Afrikan in New York” and join Vocaliz's growing movement today!
