SONG OF THE WEEK - Al-Beeno "True Canadian" (Toronto, ON)
May 9, 2016
With the weather getting a little warmer, I'm not sure about y'all, but I get in a better mood. It's like the sun brings me a new energy, a feeling that gives me strength in myself and everything around me. I guess that's just me being a summer child and all. With that feeling though, it translates to anything I take in, especially music. For this week's SONG of the WEEK, this song encompasses this feeling, plus it adds a little Canadian pride. 
 
SONG of the WEEK goes to Toronto Reggae artist Al-Beeno's homage to his Canadian roots called "True Canadian". When people hear the riddim on this track, it will bring a familiarity to the days in Jamaica when "dance was nice" (only true Jamaicans will understand that statement), but the moment he starts "deejaying", you realize that the "irie" feeling of Jamaica has been transplanted to Toronto, without feeling forced or copied. Also, as a throwback, Al-Beeno focuses on Toronto's nickname before Drake proclaimed it the "6", my favourite, "T. Dot". Full of Toronto references, it is drinking game ready, take a shot every time you hear one. Due to this song, I am looking forward to hear more from Al-Beeno, it's not everyday you come across an artist so comfortable and natural in his music, that when you come across one, you definitely have to take notice. 
 
And for those feeling nice and patriotic (you would have to be able to sing about the Maple Leafs with a smile on your face), go ahead and sing with the chorus:
 
"Some call it Toronto/Nuff call it T. Dot/city where they Jays at/Some call it Toronto/Nuff call it T. Dot/Maple Leafs slap that"
