Quake Matthews is back with his Myth Monday campaign. This time, teaming up with JRDN; an incredibly talented singer from Halifax. Whenever Quake and JRDN team up, they always create something crazy! With Cory LeRue on the production as well, "Suitcase" is an instant hit. This is one that needs some spins all over the radio. Quake Matthews has been going hard dropping tracks every Monday and as each one is released, I get more and more excited for the next week. Quake has always been one of my favorite Canadian emcee's so I find myself waking up anxious to hear what he's about to drop. If you haven't been following Myth Mondays, I'd check his page to get caught up! "Suitcase" is one for anyone who's ever been contemplating leaving a relationship they're in. The guitar by Josh Kelly is a nice addition as well. Check out "Suitcase" from Quake Matthews featuring JRDN and let me know your favorite track from Myth Monday's so far.
JRDN is honestly one Canadian singer who got me back into R&B because the dude is incredibly talented; his latest single "Can't Choose" can attest to that. Just dropping the video today, JRDN teams up with Kardinal Offishall and heads to a tropical island to film for this one, which serves as a perfect spot to bring this song to life. Start your day off right with this feel good track and be sure to purchase JRDN's latest single "Can't Choose" featuring Kardinal afterwards. Purchase: JRDN ft. Kardinal OFfishall - Can't Choose
