When Jessie Reyez rolled through her song “Figures” with just an acoustic guitar at our dscvr shoot earlier this year, she used an air of gentility as a bed for some truly fierce vocals. Her voice swooped and darted, and her passionate song of abandonment cut to the heart. Jessie’s making a name for herself right now. Our 26-year-old LIFT artist knew she had songs since her since high school days, so after growing up in a Toronto suburb, she opted out of college, and followed her muse to Florida for some beach busking and life-living. When she got back up north, she had a vision of who she might be and the courage to keep going. There’s a sense of urgency in her art; she weds a determined feminist vibe with love of family, respect for culture and dedication to emotional truth. Her ‘Kiddo’ EP is one of the year’s strongest debuts, full of invention and ambition. Her stripped-down takes of “Fuck It” and “Gatekeeper” reflect that signature sensitivity; watching them you know you’re seeing the real deal reveal herself right in front of you.

Pressa starts off by talking about his relationship with Niko of OVO who he says he stays in contact with and constantly sends new music to. Pressa revealed that he was finally able to meet Drake during a run in the UK where he went for networking and exposure purposes. When he linked up with Drake at a club in the UK, Pressa said he was offered the opportunity to join the tour. He then disclosed that his inaugural performance on tour was actually his first performance ever. Pressa talked about the adrenaline rush he felt performing in front of such a large audience but he glowingly expressed how much he enjoys the attention. But during his first couple performances, Pressa broke some production rules in terms of utilizing parts of the stage he was unauthorized to use. In fact, it was the same portion of the stage that Travis Scott fell through which caused the entire show to be canceled and prompted Drake to refund the fans their money.
