Aside from putting in some serious work for us behind the scenes on the East Coast, Toronto-born rapper Fortunato has maintained his reputation for unwavering consistency with a string of new releases in 2019.
His latest sees him team with a couple of huge talents coming out of Ottawa, a city Fortunato has developed close ties to over the course of his illustrious career. The song “All a Dream” features Aspects and 613tino.

“I feel like Ottawa adopted me when things weren’t great in Toronto,” said the former Angerville rapper of his relationship with the city. “It opened a whole new world and friendships I have to this day.”
The companion video for “All a Dream” was shot by Good Guy Films in various locations including behind The Cross On Elgin, a local Celtic-themed pub.
