J Shiltz lets off the sixth instalment in a series of monthly drops for 2016. “For The Win” to quote CL Smooth is “a lyrical slugfest” – Shiltz goes in over a double whammy of production from Royce Birth and the results are as to be expected. If you got down with “Up High” – the last joint these two collaborated on – then its more a less guarantee your gonna be feeling this shit. Sauga City represent.

Chedo chops it up with that girl Adria Kain. Get to know easily one of the dopest artists in the city. Still sleeping? Start with “Sunrise” below. And man…this is one of the realest interviews you’ll hear about what it’s really like being a straight up indie artist in Toronto. The struggles when it comes to money are so real.
I’m proud to present Adria Kain on this week’s episode of The Come Up Show Podcast. Adria created “Kainsoul” as her own genre of music, and produced songs such as Colours, Sunrise, and Kainthem. She has collaborated with producers like Elaquent, Monte Booker, and Jessy Aarons.
On this episode, we went over the timeline of her album releases and what she was going through. We also discussed the struggle of doing what you love and asking people to pay you for it and so much more. Take it in.
Each and every Wednesday we’ll be uploading a brand new interview with a guest we feel that you should know about. If you love podcasts subscribe at the options below.

Pluto returns with a really nice 4-track EP called “Just 4 Now”. I’m sure some videos will follow so stay tuned…
And shouts to John River for making what I believe to be his first cameo on a R&B record! Thought he was gonna come in all soft and “for tha ladies”, but nah…
The first time I heard about you, you were working with Mr. Murr and I came to check you at an event your cousin Wan put together. From that performance alone I knew you were no joke! The next time we connected was when you dropped “Lookin For Love” with Darp Malone (geez!). By that time I was doing O.T.A. Live! on Flow and so I reached out…. you came through, and we put together a nice short piece about the inspiration for that song. You did a guest Cell Therapy feature on the show and told Toronto about the connections between Trinidad’s extempo traditions and freestyle rap.
Then I found out your uncle was MR. MANSWELL?!!
Mr. Manswell was one of many Black-Caribbean men that kept a lot of us Scarborough boys out of trouble through soccer. And I realized then, that your family’s roots run deep in our community (still learning just how deep!).
So your intelligence, demeanor… your energy on the mic….. it all made sense.
All this just to say.. you mattered to me.
My sincerest condolences go out to your family and loved ones.
I’ll do my best to make sure you are remembered… and your children know that their father was respected and admired by many.
Rest in peace, and power, with my love, and the love of your communities.
