New joint from Kavale – post G E N I U S EP.

Toronto-based rap artist, Kavale, debuted his first collective release in EP form with the title “Genius” about 2 months back. Today he revisits his self-produced sounds for his latest solo offering, “Every Reason”. The record is laced with intricate beats as he chants flamboyantly across the track.

Living the lifestyle of a growing artist & having someone occupy a special place in you can get complex. The key is balance. That’s just how it goes.

Toronto’s Ian Kamau is a musician, a poet and an artist; “the goal of art, I believe…” he tells us in this episode of Exclaim! TV Sweet 16s, “…is to communicate with other people.”

Kamau certainly practices what he preaches, using hip-hop to connect with others, whether he is learning from his cousin’s musical methods or sending samples to his grandmother in Trinidad. He also collaborates with fellow artists like Shad, k-os and, most recently, Montreal producer/emcee Jai Nitai Lotus. We asked Kamau to share his art with us, too, and he obliged by performing his favourite 16 bars for our cameras.

Always looking forward to any release from the ΒΚΓ$CLB fam. This time it’s Briskinthehouse with his latest offering – which has 8 songs so seems like it’s too long to actually be considered an EP but the tracks are short (total run time under 20min) so I guess it technically is. Either way, I digress.

Anyways. Looking forward to taking this one in!
