Some new freestyles L dropped last week.
“I was supposed to work on a new song last week and booked studio time to work on it. Only problem was the beat wasn’t ready. I didn’t want to cancel so I decided to go do a little lyrical exercise on two of my favorite Jay-Z songs. Here is the final result, I was gonna save them for another project but seeing how today is the 12th and everyone wants some new heat I figured why not just put ’em out.” – L
When you think of the major cities producing talent, you may think of New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, D.C.; well it’s time to start including Toronto. Following in the footsteps of fellow natives Glenn Lewis, Melanie Fiona and Drake, Aion Clarke is the next in line. I wasn’t even familiar with his music until I had discovered Bryan-Michael Cox plugging the work they did together on Twitter, but boy am I glad I found it. When I come across an up and coming artist who finds importance in keeping the musicality of singing alive, coupled with an amazing voice, I have no choice but to support them. Check out my interview with Aion where we discuss his roots in music, forming a group in Toronto with Drake and Melanie Fiona, working with Bryan-Michael Cox, and the hit he almost penned for Monica.
Full interview after the jump!
