It's been over two months since we last heard from the Grand Rapids, Michigan emcee
Waldo. Possibly occupied recording a new project, Waldo has kept quiet for some time until last Tuesday when he released a minute long track called "Summer Vacation" produced by
Soulection signee
Lakim.
Brief, concise, and what seems effortless, Waldo keeps his new track simple, and yet leaves the listeners in content. The acclaimed producer Lakim, provides Waldo with an ethereal instrumental complimented by an accent of Jazz and heavy kick. Wrapping up to be exactly 0.58 seconds, Waldo seems to have given an explanation and update of how he's been doing this past summer and what he's been up to. Clever really, instead of another Instagram or Twitter post, Waldo has gone the extra length to created a more enjoyable way to connect with his fans, and to keep things interesting.
Hennessy Artistry brings the industry's most eclectic artists to venues across the world. For the Toronto edition, the series will be featuring LA's diversified Soulection label to Tattoo Queen West. The night features producers ESTA & Lakim, DJ Joe Kay, and Rapper, Jay Prince. Toronto R&B group, Wilde and the Bevstmode collective will also be in attendance. It will definitely be a dope concert and party to attend!
As we all await Stara-Nova to be released on July 10th, Toronto emcee ELMNT drops a six song cut off it to hold fans over until that day. Featuring production from Ski Beatz, TF House, Illmind, Lakim, Ikaz, Mr.Carmack; Silver Magic Ships (Ships-tape to Stara-Nova) is a collection of tracks you can hit play on and listen straight through until the end, hypnotized by the inspiring melodies and thoughtful wordplay. I'm certainly anxious to hear Stara-Nova after hearing this teaser. Continue reading to check out the album artwork, stream all six songs and read ELMNT's thoughts on the project.
