Dope new visuals for the “Last Train” single by Real City’s Milli Millz. The video was directed by Justin Agustin and it acts as a nice introduction to Millz’s upcoming project Highway To Millz. HipHopCanada linked up with Milli to ask him about the new video: “I wanted a real feel to it, to match the sincerity of the record so I leaned away from the mainstream scenery. The train scene was just to magnify the concept of the record. Shout outs to Justin Agustin for bringing it all to life.” The video is presented by Outside The Box Musicgroup.

MartyrTV chops it up with Saukrates & Redman about Drake, Gilla House, Shad & the current state of Toronto hip-hop affairs.
