Blue Eyes

This song is called CROWNS. I can’t remember when I wrote it but it initially started as a simple piano ballad. I wrote this as a reflection on the phenomenon and influence of so called black people, generations and the world over: “from thrones to slums, we’ve seen it all”. once Andrew and I started to work together on some music, I decided to sort through my hard drive in search of inspiration in some sketch ideas I had been carrying around for years. I chose CROWNS at the time because lyrically it still felt relevant to me. As we worked through it though, there was another sensation announcing itself, which gave way to the second part of the song. a simultaneous implosion and explosion inspired by Georgia Anne Muldrow’s song ‘New Orleans’. The final work feels like an appraisal of how dissonant all of life ultimately is. We hope you enjoy listening. 

Thanks

I'm A Freak [Lamsi Remix]

“Soca Funk” is a certified club banger, crafted for sweaty dancefloors anytime, anywhere. Co-produced by SANTO and Akalex, two DJ/producers blending their worlds into one irresistible and hybrid track, this 160 BPM heater is a full-on invitation to celebration.

The rhythm section is an explosive fusion of Cape Verdean Funaná, Caribbean Soca, and Dominican Dembow, three genres born from lands of dance, resistance, and joy. On top, a hypnotic loop of Brazilian Gaita, a nod to Baile Funk, brings an urban edge and a wildly carnival-like energy.

More than just a club banger, “Soca Funk” is a manifesto of cultural fusion, a vibrant tribute to festive traditions.
After a string of viral remixes, SANTO delivers his second official single, boldly asserting a singular sound shaped by mixed roots and a borderless musical vision.

New Money

It’s a Hart House Hip Hop Education Takeover of The West Meeting Room! Hart House Hip Hop Ed works with campus partners and community Hip Hop practitioners to further values of representation, collaboration, and social justice, as we explore the key principles of Hip Hop and its importance in our everyday culture. Our first podcast led us to the homie, Colanthony Humphrey, aka Cola. H. Cola draws outside the lines and paints his own path in music and in business. The Toronto-based multi-instrumentalist, producer, and songwriter enjoys the abnormal and adds his own color: to punk rock as the drummer of the OBGMs, touring exclusively as the drummer for Sonreal, and Hip Hop collaborations with Clairmont the Second and DijahSB. Our own Marco Adamovic sat down with Cola to talk about how he got into music, connections between Hip Hop and Punk, the Oooh Baby Gimme Mores (The OBGMS) in 2020, who he's become by the risks he has taken, some of the best and worst advice he's heard in the industry, and a whole lot more. We also put together a Cola H. playlist inspired by the tracks he dropped in our conversation, so make sure to go check that out on Spotify. We hope you dig our conversation with trailblazer, role redefiner and master collaborator, Cola H.
