If you haven’t seen the new Noisey documentary on the Toronto hip-hop scene, you’re really missing out on a great piece of work; easily one of their best yet. 6IX RISING: Toronto’s Rap Ascendence is 75 minutes long and worth every second of your time, featuring Big Lean, CMDWN, Friyie, Jazz Cartier, Pressa and the Prime Boys. Sit back as the Noisey crew dives into the extremely talented, diverse and competitive Toronto scene. Here’s some more info about about the release:
“It’s no secret Toronto has recently placed itself among North America’s most buzzworthy music cities due to the blockbuster ascents of Drake and The Weeknd. But that attention has also turned the city’s local rap scene into a hyper-competitive, prolific, and highly creative environment where young artists are fighting for attention on the world stage.
Noisey’s latest documentary feature is set in the middle of this vibrant scene, to profile some of its most exciting artists who are potentially on the cusp of international success.”
