DillanPonders links up with Jazz band JAZZ MONEY to form a new group called ACID JAZZ. Shouts to the man dem. Always rooted for more hip-hop bands so this could be a good look for sure.
SmashMouth Entertainment is very excited to formally introduce and present ACID JAZZ — a unique collaboration between Toronto rapper DillanPonders and veteran jazz trio JAZZ MONEY. Mixing Ponders’s psychedelic raps and JAZZ MONEY’s live instrumentation, ACID JAZZ is an innovative sound, with real musicians providing the beats and textures behind one of Toronto’s best rappers. After selling out Toronto’s Rex Hotel for an experimental show in March 2017, the group has been hard at work on their self-titled debut EP, which will release early July.
Today comes the first single to the project: “MANDEM.” Adapting the song from Ponders’s debut album — ACID REIGN — to include live instrumentation, “MANDEM” has the feeling of late night jazz radio if the DJ was drinking from a double cup. Sit back and enter the soothingly psychedelic world of ACID JAZZ.

Are you the realest out? DillanPonders has his doubts. Fresh off his debut album, ACID REIGN, Ponders does not stop writing, and he’s back with another anthem. With a beat courtesy of Kevin Rolly that’s sure to shake any speaker system, Toronto’s young free thinker steps in the pocket and finds his zone. Friends are begging him to dumb down his subject matter in hopes of finding mainstream success, but Ponders proves that’s not necessary, releasing a clip of raw, piercing verses and a hook made to scream with the mandem as you cruise through dark streets. “DOUBTS” is a loud, unwavering middle finger to those standing in the way: Ponders is carving his own lane on his own terms, you can get out of the way or be pushed.
“Saying you’re the realest out, I got DOUBTS.” – DillanPonders

“I was always fascinated with the “Bonnie & Clyde” type of relationship…one that could be so fulfilling and toxic at the same time. I’m also a huge fan of the film “Natural Born Killers”, so consider this my low budget homage”. – Flex

“BTTT is just the anthem man… doesn’t matter where my homies are or how far we’ve travelled that night we ALWAYS end up going back to the trap. It’s basic downtown nigga protocol; get fucked, go out, get back…” – DillanPonders
