Emerging Toronto-based alternative rapper dichotomi shares their new single “STF 17” , a mellow summertime jam that serves as the lead single from the upcoming debut EP. The chilled bright and playful tune produced by fellow Toronto musician Frizzy Astro see them delivering melodic lines with heartfelt and evocative lyrics that dwell on the positive side of things.

The animated visual shows dichotomi enjoying the summer sun in the beach and just basking in the warm glory as their worries slowly fades away.

Speaking about the inspiration behind ‘STF 17’, dichotomisays, “It was the first pandemic winter, and I was really sick… I couldn’t go outside because the weather, and I had no energy or motivation to make life inside more enjoyable because of the mental and physical effects of the pandemic. At a real low point, I started fantasizing about summers in Toronto and told myself that ‘everything will be better in the summer’ – as soon as I said it aloud, I felt compelled to write a song on that theme.

The track quickly took a political lean as I began to ruminate on the social, political, and economic forces that forced me into such a fragile position in the first place. ‘STF 17’ is most definitely a critique of our capitalist society, but with the added goal of offering some levity — allowing us to hope for a more equitable future. Be critical, be angry, be sad, but don’t let the state of this world keep you from turning your face to the sun every chance you get, and tirelessly seek the tiniest moments of joy”.

Eclectic producer Slo Five comes through with a solid single titled “Somewhere Else”. The track blends lofi aesthetics, and retro jazz textures with punchy boom bap drum grooves in a seamless manner. At less than 2 minutes long, the track slowly builds up with the dusty piano riffs, airy nostalgic horns underpinned by the filtered melodic vocal samples splashed across the beat. It’s perfect for that cool afternoon jazz playlist especially the type to relax to.

Rachel Geek‘s latest effort titled “Spine Straight” is an unbridled journey into the dark spots in her head. The mid tempo record sees her exploring true emotions while exorcising the inner demons alike. Her flow is dynamic as she employs a variety of cadences underpinned by fiery intent and vivid evoctaive lyrics that digs deep into her psychology.

The visual has a moody cyrptic feel as it cpatures Geek in an unknown spot performing in the open. It exudes a late 90s horro flick in some ways but makes ample use of Geek’s energetic performance style.
