To follow up the release of ‘Right Now,’ Toronto artist Redway returns today with the second single from his forthcoming 9-track collaborative EP with Grammy-nominated producer WondaGurl. The aforementioned EP will be available on iTunes on August 19th, but thanks to Redway, we have a promising new tune to hold us over. Check it out below.

TIMO

After dropping ‘Grow Up’ featuring Finally Famous rep Earlly Mac at the top of the year, TIMO has been laying all the groundwork for his upcoming full-length release. Featuring Chicago rapper Alex Wiley, TIMO’s lead single ‘Shine On’ comes loaded with next-level production from the extremely talented YOG$. This is the first official work off TIMO’s upcoming project Start Dancing, which will also come with appearances from Chavis Chandler, FowL, and Gino The Ghost. Expect the project to drop as we near the end of the summer.

Mazon
