E reconnects with MoSS for the latest visuals/sounds off his “Marching to the Sound of My Own Drum”.
After 5 years since their Fat Beats full length debut, Eternia & MoSS return with “Day & Night”. Featured on MoSS’s album “Marching to the Sound of My Own Drum”, MoSS provides a hypnotizing and haunting sonic backdrop as Eternia struggles between spirit and flesh in her signature soul-excavating style. “Day & Night” explores the war going on inside every person, for “what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do” (St. Paul). The outcome of the battle is left unknown, as Eternia’s chorus prays, “Don’t let the sun set on me…”
Director Ian Johnson cinematically explores themes of darkness vs. light, lust, and the multiplicity of one being. The visuals, as hypnotizing as MoSS’s production, also pays homage to MoSS’s psychedelic classic rock musicality in the coloring, editing, and esthetic styling.

“In his latest effort to showcase hometown pride, in celebration of All-Star Weekend, Leon has teamed up with Green Label, and fellow “Torontonians” Jazz Cartier and WondaGurl for, ‘Above The Rim.'”
This weekend, Toronto is hosting its first ever NBA All-Star Game. Fitting since, over the past few years, the Canadian city has become one of the biggest cultural hubs in the world. Toronto is producing a new generation of artists, musicians, fashion designers, restaurateurs, and more that are changing the way the city is perceived.
In the past, Toronto’s been called the “Screwface Capital”—often by Torontonians themselves. Now, the creative scene is small, tight-knit, and blossoming. So, we spent a week in the Six getting to know NEEDS&WANTS designer Sean Brown, restaurateurs Kai and Levi Bent Lee of Fring’s, photographer Visionelie, artists Jazz Cartier and Daniel Caesar, city of Toronto councillor Norm Kelly, and even got to spend some time at the Raptors’ practice to chat with Patrick Patterson.
Get to know the city and the scene in 6 On a Wave: Toronto Got Next.

With the sound of a sonic boom J Shiltz re-emerges from self imposed isolation to deliver “All Out”. The tune sees the Sauga City representative deliver a set of refined and introspective verses over spacey and soulful production from the Juno Award winning MC and producer Relic. Managing hook duties is longtime collaborator and Monolith General Grimace Love. “All Out” marks both the first release from Shiltz in almost two years, and the second official collaboration between Shiltz and Grimace since the release of the Kev Brown produced TO anthem “Louder” almost 5 years ago. “All Out” is a call to arms, the acknowledgement of an unforgiving scene, and a declaration of necessity in a city that has infamously become from the outside looking in, the epicentre of a new sound, but from the inside looking out, the concrete confines to an unacknowledged generation of hip-hop artists.
