Elaquent’s latest full-length project “The Scenic Route” hits the digital sphere and honestly after taking in the bulk of his past and current projects, this dude is without question an artist/producer to check for if you haven’t already.
“Life is a journey. It is very easy to take the safe path to get to your destination.
But what fun is that? Half the fun of the journey is NOT knowing how you will get there.
Life is far too short to not have fun with it. I could have taken the safe path of life with my university degree and be working a high paying, boring job. Well, I could still do that really anytime I want. Nothing wrong with taking the safe path, if thats what you’re really looking for in life. However, that doesnt do it for me.
I dont want to be an old man, like 70, looking back, wishing I would have kept following my dreams and pursue music when I was 25.
This album is inspired by that very idea. In the past year, I’ve found myself in lots of situations
where I’ve had to choose between professional progression and chasing the dream, much to the dismay of some of my peers and even some of my family. But its all good. I aint even mad. Dont let anybody tell you that what you want to do is a waste of time. Often times the things we look for in life are
foolish to try to chase. Chase it anyways. Who cares. Why not. Have fun. Relax. Enjoy the music.
Take The Scenic Route.”

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.
a l l i e’s back and this time in support of a full-length album that’s set to be released in the fall. Definitely looking forward to that. In the meantime, here’s the jump-off joint, “Move Like A Mystic”.

Quote from a l l i e:
“This song came to me quick and easy, rose up in one fluid motion. Not all songs arrive that way. When it happens though, it’s a blessing. That’s when I’m doing my job of being an open channel and catching a flow. The message is simple: live deeply, break the chains, move freely. Move how you move when no ones watching. Move the way love makes you move. Move like a mystic ✨”
Recent press from Pitchfork for her track “I Can’t Wait” w/ Birthday Boy – “The 20 Essential Post-Drake Toronto Tracks” – http://pitchfork.com/thepitch/1125-the-20-essential-post-drake-toronto-tracks/
“R&B artist Allie’s gorgeously soulful voice is a hot commodity in Toronto, and she’s been putting it to good collaborative use alongside producers like Elaquent, Da-P, and TOKiMONSTA. On “I Can’t Wait,” Allie teams up with fellow Toronto producer Birthday Boy for a simmering duet about the pursuit of romance, a track that’s comparable to contemporaries like Tinashe or Jhené Aiko.”

Imago’ is an aural, visual and soulful blend of organic innovation with sonic virtuosity that will entwine the listener to their innermost primordial vibrations. This EP is available both digitally and on 7″ opaque cream vinyl, plus features production from elite beat makers Elaquent, Black Cat, Phat Tony, and Quasar, with a special guest appearance from Tona. The record jacket features artisan photography by Celine Saki and avant-garde original artwork directed by Jesse Read, George Kish and Radek Drutis, who has collaborated with Stones Throw, Eglo, Digitalis, and All City Records.
‘Imago’ is an unmistakeable exposition of the evolution Deez has undergone to reach the final stage of his musical self-actualization. From rapping, to singing, to playing keys, then back to rapping and beat making, Korry displays his artistic growth and how comfortable he has become in all facets of composition.
