The single was produced by C-Lance (Snak The Ripper, Merkules) and recorded by Juno Award-winning hip-hop producer Rob The Viking at Chamber Studios.
“Don’t Step” is the latest from their upcoming new album, which is slated to drop in April. The song follows up the duo’s previous single “Rambo”, which was spinning on Spotify’s Hip-Hop Central and Northern Bars playlists. Evil Ebenezer and JAY will kick off their Canadian tour in Toronto with a performance at Canadian Music Week in May. The tour will go across Canada hitting all major markets.

THE WEEKLY EIGHT INFO
Submission Sundays was a segment we introduced in 2018 to show love to the hundreds of artists and groups that submit new material to us weekly. The segment also gave us a chance to show love to people who weren’t already receiving regular coverage on HipHopCanada, and gave them a chance to connect with our viewers.
Towards the end of the year, we relaunched Submission Sundays as The Weekly Eight, with the same objective to help artists grow.
Each week, we’ll select 8 new submissions and feature them on our homepage for at least a 24 hour period.
To be considered for The Weekly Eight segment, please submit your content using our Submission Form. International submissions are welcome.
Please note, due to the volume of submissions we receive, we are unable to respond to each submission directly. Submissions with missing information will be deleted.
