It’s no secret Toronto has recently placed itself amongst North America’s most buzzworthy music cities due to the blockbuster ascents of Drake and the Weeknd. But that attention has also turned the city’s local rap scene into a hyper-competitive, prolific, and highly creative environment where young artists are fighting for attention on the world stage.
Noisey’s latest documentary feature is set in the middle of this vibrant scene, to profile some of its most exciting artists who are potentially on the cusp of international success.
Featuring Big Lean, CMDWN, Friyie, Jazz Cartier, Pressa and Prime Boys.

Get to know that dude Noyz via some interview and live performance goodness. Details below:
Mississauga, ON: In the premiere episode of MonstrARTity’s latest program, the #MonsterArtist Development (MAD) series, Brampton MC Noyz takes us on a musical journey with drum guru Sarah Thawer and T.J. Whitelaw on guitar. Debuting the live version of “Cowbell” from his much anticipated album Lo-Fi Glory with Dusty Loops, Noyz shows us why CBC has named him one of the Top 10 South Asian Artists you need to hear.
The episode opens with a stripped down, live version of “God Degree” that allows the rapper’s lyrical prowess to shine through, followed by a short interview on the messages behind his music and collaborating with other artists like Sarah. The final song he performs is “Speak Now” a track which is revealed as an emotional, cathartic release about being open with the important people in your life.
“Sometimes it’s the words that we don’t say that we end up regretting the most,” says Noyz about the track.
Watch the full episode below for an exclusive look into the MC’s world. Stay tuned to MonstrARTity to see who the next #MonsterArtist will be!

My Father’s name was Glenn Stephen Hoffman. He passed away of a heart attack last year while I was on tour. My parents divorced when I was 15 and my Dad always had a very hard time with that. He was an incredible person… one of the funniest people I can think of, but he suffered from mental health issues and alcohol abuse. The years leading up to his death he became less of a father figure to me and more of a very dear friend. We would talk on the phone for hours, bullshitting about pretty much anything under the sun while he sat there smoking cigarettes with the tv playing in the background. He was one of my biggest fans. He knew all the lyrics to all my songs and always expressed how much he believed in me. When he passed I was in the beginning of a tour and never really had the opportunity to cope. I was terrified to write a song about this. I was terrified it wouldn’t be enough to justify my father. Despite that feeling, In April 2016, two month after he passed I sat down in my home studio one night and wrote something special for My Friend. This is the music video directed by Dane Collison…one of my best friends who got a chance to spend time with my father. Enjoy.
