Korry Deez enlisted two of Toronto’s Top Producers to add a new dimension to his controversial underground anthem, ‘Gotta Get It’. Filthy dirty producer Lancecape flips a J Dilla sample, used by Busta Rhymes, creating more of a mellow vibe alongside Korry’s gritty flow. Meanwhile, veteran beatsmith Phat Tony, a.k.a. Big Tweeze, unleashes the groove, giving ‘Gotta Get It’ the feel of being out on a late night drive through the city. These new impressions of an already stellar tune now make it very difficult to select which ‘Gotta Get It’ will be your favorite.
Taking some time aside from touring her critically acclaimed sophomore album Escapology and her recent release efforts in the electronic outfit Ark Analog, once again the multi-talented Maylee Todd is showing her vibrant collaborative colours. This time a playful, funky pop single More Than Friends has Todd performing with The Precious Lo’s. The track’s simple boom-baps coupled with a bouncy synth lay down the groundwork for a melodic duet between Todd and TPL’s Gil Masuda.
The Precious Lo’s EP set for release in Fall 2013.
For almost two decades, under the Circle Research moniker, Gil Masuda and Nik Timar have lavished Toronto’s indie soul scene with a with a distinct production sound that blends Hip Hop, mid-tempo funk and off-beat rhythms. Apart from producing remixes for Apostle of Hustle, Ivana Santilli, Abdominal, Elizabeth Shepherd and Maylee Todd, CR is backed by three full-length albums of their own (Do Right! Music, MPM, Urbnet Records).
With their latest endeavor and for the first time, Masuda and Timar emerge from behind the mixer as songwriters and vocalists. Reincarnated as The Precious Lo’s, the two are completing their first EP – and the tastemakers who have had the privilege of previewing the material are already showing their enthusiasm.
KCRW’s Anthony Valadez has enlisted The Precious Lo’s for his upcoming album on Plug Research while steadily rinsing their demo tracks on his radio show. This past spring, MONOCLE’s Editor-in-Chief, Tyler Brûlé invited TPL to his London radio studio for a feature interview to discuss Toronto’s growing soul music scene.
Fresh off the release of his brand new project ‘Return To The Classics (Vol. 1), Lancecape hits you off with the first single LABI SIFFRE FT. KORRY DEEZ “WATCH THE STREETS”.
Lancecape tackles and flips the track “I Got The…” by Labi Siffre, which was most notably sampled by hip hop heavy weights Jay Z (Streets Is Watchin’), Eminem (My Name Is) and Def Squad (Full Cooperation). The original track is hard hitting within itself, which in turn made it easy for Lancecape to flip the break, add his signature drums and create one monster of a beat.
Korry Deez most notably known for being 1/3 of the Toronto super group ‘Irs’, has shared his presence in videos and live stage shows with some of the nations best known artists. All you have to do is check out Kardinal Offishall’s video ‘Ol’ Time Killin’ and you will get exactly what I mean.
For this track, Korry has taken it upon himself to flip the song vocally. “Watch The Streets” tackles the reality of life growing up in a low income household/community. He speaks on the struggles of life inside and outside of his home growing up. It is a very relatable song, that has an extremely powerful message. Anyone who understands what he is talking about will gladly accept this song with open arms.

A taste of music/visuals coming from a member of one of the Mega’s most important groups – IRS – and one of most important crew-movements – Monolith – of the 90’s; not to mention one of the dopest emcees of that period as well: Korrey Deez.
This is the Promotional Teaser of my upcoming video for my debut album “Always Fresh”. NAPALM_Lancecape ft. Korry Deez_Always Fresh. Being released on Future Science December 2012.
Love this. That dude Dan-e-o just did an official video for a joint he recorded like 20+ years ago. Can’t think of this ever happening before.

Longtime collaborators and Sauga City natives J Shiltz and Junia-T link up for a smokers anthem aptly titled “The Green Out”. This marks the second collaboration between the two this year after the thoughtful and introspective “Want Yours”. Lyrics-wise Shiltz kicks the punchline better than the best rapper bravado you want to hear, and as far as production goes you already know that Junia-T laces everything he touches. Anyways… enough talk… just sit back, relax, and roll one up to “The Green Out”.
