[Audio] Thurz – “ThirdEye” (Prod: Khan)

Thurz is one of my favourite artists out on the West Coast right now. He just released "ThirdEye", the latest track leading up to the release of his Blood On The Canvas album. Khan handles the gritty production on this one. For more from the Inglewood emcee, check out his 517 W Queen Tape. Also, if you haven't yet, make sure you give our interview with Thurz a read, where we discuss Blood On The Canvas, memories from U-N-I, Outkast's influence, and much more.

[Interview] Thurz talks “Blood on the Canvas,” memories from U-N-I, and Outkast’s influence

Martin Bauman

Interview by: Martin Bauman The West Coast scene has seen a massive revival in the past five-plus years, as the latest generation of emcees has staked its claim on the hip-hop landscape. Since the mid-2000s, a slew of West Coast artists, from Pac Div, to Blu & Exile, to U-N-I, to Fashawn, to Miguel, to Aloe Blacc, to Kendrick Lamar and the rest of Top Dawg Ent., have gone on to critical acclaim. Among that esteemed group is Inglewood's Thurz (formerly of the aforementioned U-N-I). Since going solo in 2011, Thurz has been working hard to prove to listeners that he has more to offer than his previous light-hearted, party rap fare. He's proven that right off the bat. After the enormous success of his solo debut, L.A. Riot, and the buzz following his 517 W Queen Tape, he's ready to release his follow-up full-length release, Blood on The Canvas. The Come Up Show caught up with Thurz to discuss his upcoming album, memories from U-N-I, Outkast's influence, and much more. Read the full interview after the jump.

[Album] The Antiheroes – “Modern Day Riot”

Colton

Leading up to the release of this highly anticipated album, the Antiheroes gave out some great music over the past few weeks like "So Easy" , "Understand" and "Cloud 9". After a two year creation process, we are presented with Modern Day Riot. From "Blow Up" featuring D-Sisive to "Understand" featuring Emerson Brooks, the Toronto duo touch a lot of topics avoided by most artists and have the knowledge to back it. The production list for the album was done locally by Junia-T, Rich Kidd, MMac and Jay Emess. Stream/Download Modern Day Riot after the jump and let me know what your favorite song from the album is in the comments section.

The Anitheroes - Modern Day Riot Artwork

With every song The Antiheroes put out leading up the release of their Modern Day Riot LP on March 25th, it makes you wonder how much crazier the whole album is going to be. Giving us some great tracks like "Cloud 9" and "Understand" already, this new song titled "So Easy" only adds to the thirst to hear more! On this one the Toronto duo inquire the help of Thurz for a third verse, and Ash Riser for the hook. Some of you may know Ash Riser from Kendrick Lamar's song "Barbed Wire". Topping it off, the deadly beat comes from fellow Toronto artist, Rich Kidd. Take a listen to "So Easy" underneath and be on the lookout for Modern Day Riot to drop Monday!
