New Track: Beast Boy – Jay Portal x DBLCRSS

Hailing from Hamilton – a city in Ontario – DBLCRSS and JAY PORTAL are hell-bent on injecting some serious fire into their hometown’s near non-existent hip-hop scene with brand new single,  ‘Beast Boy’

Although their latest effort is a hip-hop track that boasts an infectiously boisterous bass, the Canadian youngsters wanted to produce accompanied visuals that’s not the typical rap video – so there’ll be no feature of video babes twerking in the clubs with champagne poured all over them (sorry guys!)

‘Beast Boy’, the first release from their debut EP ‘Hell Is Where The Heart Is’, out now on all streaming/downloading sites.

Check out the video below:

New Track: Lingo – J.O. Mairs

For his latest track, J.O. MAIRS wasn’t trying to come off as – in his words – ‘super political’, but somehow the striking hooks and the bouncing bassline inspired him to vent some home truths….

‘Lingo’ touches on the lack of community unity across the globe and could be described as the anthem for black sheeps of society who constantly feel the need to conform. Delivered in a uber confident laid back flow, the Canadian spitter dishes out some valuable advice: become a member of YOUR own society, and set out to achieve YOUR goals, irrespective of how it is perceived by others.

In a nutshell, just do YOU…this guy did it with impeccable style…you might learn something here; it’s worth checking out…

Song of the Day: I’m Done – Justine Giles

Canadian singer-songwriter JUSTINE GILES, stole today’s Song of the Day hotspot with single, ‘I’m Done’, which (in her words) ‘serves as an empowering anthem for all’.

Featuring heartfelt plucks of the acoustic guitar, ‘I’m Done’ was written in her hometown, Sudbury and came to life in Toronto.

Speaking of her single, Giles states. “It’s about saying goodbye and fully letting go of what no longer serves one’s health and happiness. It of course can be applied to a romantic relationship scenario, but the overall intention of the song far surpasses that, and I believe it can be applied to many situations. It may actually act as an anthem to stand up against multiple forms of abuse.”

Though this release greatly differs in style from her previous singles, it’s just as strong and impactful as it touches on the subject of standing up for yourself.

Have a listen to ‘I’m Done’…and if you like what you hear, look out for Justine’s new album later this year.
