With Stara – Nova taking longer than expected we are given yet another freebie off the upcoming mixtape. Titled, Sophisticated Ignorance (White Dress Dub), ELMNT reworks Kanye West’s White Dress on his latest effort.
The anticipation for Stara-Nova has been growing steadily and for good reason, it will contain familiar cuts along with brand new material, hence the title Stara-Nova (Old – New). In the coming weeks ELMNT will also be releasing the visuals for “Body Movin“ shot by Toronto videographer SoTeeOh.
“White Dress was my headphone soundtrack while discovering the streets of Milan, Italy this past fall, just reminded me of drinking cheap wine on metal buckets, packed bars overlooking waterless canals & spending time with a dope woman. My homie Damir convinced me to rock over it tonight, I was more than happy to.” – Ele.

First introduction to YTK.
Toronto collective YTK (Yonge Toronto Kids) release their first single together, “Say Somethin'” produced by J Reid.
Made up of 3 young Toronto kids (no pun), Keysha (formerly Keysha Freshh), Steph J (Wrap party, La Complex, Degrassi, Home Again), and Jimmy B (Starboro x Smashmouth).
“YTK is Steph j, Keysha and myself we just young toronto kids focused on making good music and staying positive” explains Jimmy.
“YTK is a common ground. We come together, we make music. We share the same vision and passion. We all do our individual thing, so when we do collaborate we try to make it big, video and everything…if you get what I’m saying [laugh]” describes Keysha.
“Ytk, above anything is the voice for a whole generation of kids from where we come from, toronto” says Steph J.
When asked about the recording process with the three of them:
“Say Somethin’ was easy to do, workin’ with jimmy and keysh is always turnt up. We have nun but fun. we give and take to and from each other to make good music thats speaks to our peers” -Steph J
“The recordin’ process was dope everyone came with their A game and whenever we all get in the studio you know its something dope” – Jimmy
“I think we just have fun. We feed off each other, like we vibe out. Like some rugrats… We turn everything into this big adventure and we just have fun, and I think you can feed off of that when you hear the finished product” – KeyshaLINK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGct-z_OjB8&list=UUILKRzeBStvkG_rafTyr7Sg&index=1 Attached is the MP3
