6IX RISING: Toronto’s Rap Ascendance (Full Length Documentary)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 พ.ย. 2017
- It's no secret Toronto has recently placed itself amongst North America's most buzzworthy music cities due to the blockbuster ascents of Drake and the Weeknd. But that attention has also turned the city's local rap scene into a hyper-competitive, prolific, and highly creative environment where young artists are fighting for attention on the world stage.
Noisey's latest documentary feature is set in the middle of this vibrant scene, to profile some of its most exciting artists who are potentially on the cusp of international success.
Featuring Big Lean, CMDWN, Friyie, Jazz Cartier, Pressa and Prime Boys.

Seeing Pressa after the show was cancelled hurt my heart. The kid is trying to be the one in the family who makes a positive change and they won't allow it. I hope the kid becomes huge, never give up
WELL HES HUGE NOW HE BLEW UP!!!!!
Word he huge now he was just at Rolling loud
they need #yardiblack and #Mykilldarcshyne from #rockstargimmedat in this.
@Linda Reyes old school rap was about rhyming and shit but like barely rappers rhyme they just rap on the beat but you right hes flow he can't change because that's how Toronto hoodmans really speak I would recommend him to take the autotune off
@Linda Reyes are dumb pressas actually fire
Dam this doc was sick, was waiting on that killy interview though
NELK aye NELK! Full send eh
NELK Boys in these comments, fuck yeah eh 😂
Haha watch this nelk comment get more likes then the video😂
Icey s
nelk come to Scarborough to do some pranks
Drake doesn't even fuck with most of these dudes, Tory Lanez puts them on songs and nobody wants to give him credit.
Glad someone spoke(see that)truthfully
Brothas from Canada and the UK act and talk so white
So what.
Eminem acts black and is a great rapper and is white.
People can act and relate to whatever color or culture they want.
@@roejogan1341 no they dont. They speak with dialect from Patois and English. We from a different culture to u americans why hate
Congrats to Friyie on graduating from University. A prime example of good/positive things can come out from Jane and Finch.
🙌🏻🙌🏻
lol, you def can tell if someone is from Toronto from the accent! The coverage on this noisey is not bad. BIG UP TORONTO!!
Could’ve been better but they showed too much Downtown and not enough Scarborough and West Toronto
i totally agreeeeee!
Iiiidiottt tinggg
moogato23424124 yall riding londons nuts
Does anyone know the songs by pressa at 7:01 and 8:15?
Some of Toronto's best underground artists were missing from this but still fire (Robin Banks, Smoke Dawg, SAFE, Puffy L'z, 365, Top 5, Casper, etc.)
domiy27 365 ya but the others idk
th-cam.com/video/VZgPR1yiUa8/w-d-xo.html
facts i only knew pressa lool
I wanted to see Casper so bad
the idea that you put top 5 on this list says wayy too much
How can you make a documentary about Toronto hip hop w/ no reference to Regent Park??
because regents washed up, the only mans from there poppin rn are roney and lil berete
Lil berete and accer
Nah they played a clip of the song full circle which is basically almost all regent park
Tnt and black line was sick sick sick but that was like 2007 days.
yo regent wasn't poppin ever since smoke dawg became the smoked
Everyone feels like their City should be rough and unsafe.
💯
Toronto got so much talent Finally getting the recognition they deserve!
True !
Y'all gotta check out Vancouver
Pro Habits I was saying the same thing guy if guys like Robby khan and c4 and all the other old school Jane&finch rappers see this they would be happy asf right now most of them are rather dead or in jlll
Vancouver up to something now too...
VANCITY REPRESENT!
Pressa so honest about how performing made him feel for the first time its almost weird for a rapper to be honest
what's the name of his song on 7:01?
Lord Of The Frogs Dad authentic - Pressa
@Los Castañeda Pressa is a dude...
That’s why I rate him he’s transparent
@@yasuke4593 coolp
Really good doc, I seriously hope there's another one in the making regarding Toronto's Hop scene, cause there's so much more to explore. Thank you Noisey.
Really dope documentary, didn't know anything about the 6 other than the Obvious Artist. This was amazing. Shout out to Noisey and everyone involved. #Salute
Lol there is a saying "if you grow up in the GTA you know how yo cuss mans in multiple languages."
blackjin21 who said dat
Tru tru
LFT.FT.BRKN. FACTSSSSS LMAOOOO
@Stoners Opinion It’s actually spelled Patwah or Patwa and knowing a few words doesn’t mean you know how to cuss people off really 🤣🙈
Especially when us 🇯🇲 are really LIT UP.
The stuff that people hear on the regular isnt anything special 🤣
Unless you’re of JA descent 🤷🏿♀️ I don’t want to assume.
@@indigoGoddess7 ummm naw, it's written patois
Coming from New York i show no hate to Toronto artists keep grinding!!! It's hoods everywhere in the world and I wanna see everyone including people in Toronto make it out !!! Big ups to all those in this documentary hope to do music with some of y'all soon

Big up to Noisey for doing this! man i been listening to these rappers for a lonnnngg time, im glad they're shedding some light on the Toronto rap scene that not many people know about
im super late on this doc but this shed some serious light for me and where I come from in the city. very motivating to see these artists support any form of art and such a strong motive towards the fans.
When I seen Pressa I was like 'Yay they got a female MC up in this!!!' Lmfao
Malaika Earth lol you’re the same girl who’s knees would be on the earth for pressa if u met him.
ahhhhEEEJaycity and your the same dude choppin Presha at the mall thinking she I mean he's just a tom boy girl lmfaooo
Anitah Sparkz he’s a guy
😄
@@earthsteezy 2 fun
This barely featured any upcoming Toronto rappers, Theres so many more that should have been featured.Tory Lanez, Nav, Partynextdoor, Belly, Derek Wise, Roy Woods, Ramriddlz, J-Soul, P-Reign, Baka, Gangis Khan, Pryde, Robin Banks, Casper, Top5, Wondagurl, Smoke Dawg, Puffy L'z, Safe, Mo-G, Murda Beatz, Night Lovell etc.
Nels Belly and night lovell are from Ottawa
this guy said pryde lmao
It didn't feature them cuz they prolly already popped off in the game
Majority of those artists are blown in mainstream already why feature them., come on tory pnd??? Who doesn’t know about them your grandparents
Noisey Atlanta followed everybody from the city regardless of whether they were buzzing or not. Tory and PND are not even close to being as big as Migos, 21 Savage, Young Thug etc.
That weird high voiced yute in london sounds like chow from the hangover trilogy😂
SEA LEVEL CLAY 😭😭😭😭
Lol
FRIYIE SEEMS DOPE AF, HE ACTUALLY UNDERSTANDS TORONTO CULTURE HOW ITS INFLUENCED BY WEST AFRICANS, CARIBBEANS AND SOMALIANS, and he on his education grind! Respect 💯💯
- Somalian???? Since when? Not my Tdot. Sheesh!
WestEnd TDot Yo stfu. Somalis are influencing Toronto culture whether you like it or not. Drake gives bare shoutouts and some of the words that people be using nowadays come from the Somali language (wallahi, bucktee etc). You can’t live in Toronto and deny that
Mans never put respect on the Latino community and influence in the city smh. Even the biggest man out the city calls himself champagne ‘papi’
I agree. He broke it down really well and I like that. We are a multicultural city and we just keep mixing it up - ❤️💜
@@westendtdot4520 you guys use bare somali words in your slang. bucktee cuntoo hoya shimbir all somali words. geedo kawal saqraan stop it kid. somalis heavily influence toronto.
Thanks for this I've been meaning to do some homework on the Toronto scene for a while now. Got a list of artists to check out now.
Tangent/ The distinctive mix between Canadian English and the Jamaican accents of most of these folks is so interesting to this Brooklynite of Ayisien descent. Respect to the fertile seeds of the Diaspora growing in Canada.
Not everyone from Toronto sounds like this, just saying 😂
That's a given. Get your culture cringe in order...
az0963818 not my fault , and people can talk however they want , in my opinion though . I do admit it is kinda cringe now that I’m realizing 😂
Raiizyzn_ it’s extremely cringe
they need #yardiblack and #Mykilldarcshyne from #rockstargimmedat in this.
yes they do lol especially is Scarborough
Toronto has alot of good artist.. Jimmy Prime, Pressa, 88Glam, Killy and alot more
belly is from Ottawa
*88Glam
Hyped Beast Pryde
You're dropping these names like they're supposed to mean something
You're sleeping on Castro and fiji bud
You’re downtown, you have to go Rex dale and Scarborough
ScopePsyco Parma Court is off Victoria Park which is the border of Scarborough fam.
I'm from Toronto and this makes me feel even better about being from Toronto 💜💚
Toronto on the Come Up
The Photo Kid You mean Toronto is going down the drain 😅😂😂
e m o t i o n s 22 You obviously don't know what you're talking about 🤔
take a shot every time someone says "nah mean"
jo and “yu know”
Or "like"
Love the limelight Noisey are shining. I was part of the "Brits In The 6ix" documentary they filmed showing how London, England man who live in Toronto are pushing a sound. Nuff similarities between the 2 cities 💯🇬🇧🇨🇦 @PlainEnglish
this is a really good put together documentary
Friye seems educated
This was a great piece really. I'm from Toronto and I'm really glad to see the scene getting big like this .. So much talent
Absolutely amazing this just gave me so much motivation to do good for my city. Love you toronto. The best city in the world.
Pressa has the funniest voice ive ever heard
Al Capone yours too^^
I think she’s a pretty good rapper tho.
@@devinisdead4061 pretty sure he's a dude
Mike Devyatov is that right? Thanks mate, I guess that’s my bad as the yanks say.
@@devinisdead4061 that’s a dude
Pressa literally the only one in here with a unique sound
Do u mean a good sound or unique bc they 2 different things and pressa is very unique
Right
@@FATTYBONGRIPS unique, you can choose wether it’s good to you or not that’s why I chose to say unique because wether you agree with it being good or not you cannot say it’s not unique.
Jazz Cartier will be huge one day
his star is already starting to fade. Hes been passed by the other members of Get Home Safe (88Glam). He hasnt done much in a long time.
Betcha he wont
JTCFC1 He dropped some bangers lately though. He can actually rap as well.
Documentary should've been more about him
falling out* doesnt mean he was passed. just wait on it ahlie?
Thank you all for what you do, and God bless y'all and all your families.
Love this so tough!! Beautifully displaying the creative and positive side of artists will the media steady downing young black men with massive amounts of talent like Pressa. You see them na wanna see us win!!!! Ever 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Documentary was aight, but other than Jane and Downtown, they didn’t shoe the “endz”, They needed to show manz from the rex, scarbz, etc... They needed to show manz like Tory lanez, Nav, Halal gang, ...And show the Caribbean, West African, Somali and Middle Eastern influences loool like on the realz WHERE THE HELL WAS HALAL GANG. Those manz make the tdot sound unique not just regular Atlanta trap.
lol stfu about halal gang those guys arent even popping anymore, the only mans from regent that are poppin are roney and lil berete
@Karl Marx no one saw puffy L's return this year tho till now
@Karl Marx ok karl marx 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 where you even from

Tory lanez from Brampton btw
All these Americans in the comments are so insecure about their own rap game that they gotta take it out on Toronto mans
The Americans always disrespect other people's towns and cultures. They always dissing London and Toronto. Meanwhile they got 'gangsters' like Young Thug and that guy with a wedding dress representing them
Pablo Freshcobar Nah man, I could tell you here in the U.S. it's all different shit from state to state. I'm from Texas and down here we don't let that weird shit fly. I'm pretty sure Cali like that too. But in other states they got all them weirdos. But yeah those fucks from some of these states don't represent all of us.
Wannabee from the states
Dont speak for everyone I'm American and I respect taronto
blem Insecure? About what, our country produces like 80% of the music the world listens too,
Kinda looks like the ends in London just a lot nicer 😂
BrickLanedon You ain't lying. London looks terrible. Shit still look like the 1800's.
Chicken Rody London has got bareeee mans with sticks
You don’t even know g
They just can’t show it in music videos or online cause feds are quick to finding you and knocking at your door. It’s just long
BrickLanedon there’s grimier ends still but they ain’t show em all
beektormaing lmao watch The Field by world star and come back to this vid to laugh
what’s that? Based in Chicago?
Amazing piece ❤️
Ayyy jane and finch my ends, it’s nice to see it getting recognition.
I Rate Noisey for this! Big Up!!
El Turco FACTS
I need all these beats they playing through this documentary....straight fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Big lean & pressa brought me here but this doc is very informative
Toronto has had a scene since 90s mathematik
Cardinal official
Rascals
Citizen Kane.
Ghetto concept
So many others
And they where all wicked
Don’t forget Snow and his big hit “Informer”
blackjin21 rascals from west coast dude. What about maestro fresh wes?
blackjin21 *Kardinal Offishall 😂come on bruh lol
Khalfani Blackwood lol auto correct G!
blackjin21 lol thats why I turned that shit off lol hate it sooooo much
Pressa’s show getting cancelled was a blessing in disguise. Proud of how far he’s gotten since
Scarborough and West End is where it's really at...
Kenny Blankenship ahhhh my cityyyy
what is the Jazz Cartier song at 53:00 ??
Griselda Blanco - Pengz X TwoTwo yall💤💤
Dope doc
Good Documentary! Didn’t know Canada had projects.
Absolutely love this, big ups Toronto watch out for that flame city shit coming up though 👀
No mention of Roney, C4, or Ganghis Khan? smh
Superkiller Roney still in the bin no?
roney a fucking beast still
Ghengis khan.! CAMO
Superkiller who?
GangGeezy! 🤘🏾
Love how Canada feels mixed of U.K. America and Europe all together!
don't forget Caribbean/Africa too!
Jamaica
It’s similar to the multiculturalism in the UK with Somalis, Jamaicans, Indians but like American accents
@@snekktikhays1780 they almost sound like Americans doing a terrible London accent
the UK is in Europe.
This goes hard asf. Please make a part two! an update! that would be sick.
Although there was no No Casper, No Killy, and No Kmoney, I learned alot whether it was newbies or people stuck from getting to point B to C. I love my city and am proud of the hard work these guys are doing
Fax Killy, Casper, Kmoney, Yung Lava, NS, 3M French and more too had to be put on this interview fam🤦🏾
38:10 for yall that dont know thats duvy back in 17 befo anyone knew him, he just dropped an album and he's taking over rn big W
ima bookmark this for when i have trouble fallin asleep.... yaaawn.. zzzzz zzz zzz
So proud of these guys. When people in the hood have a vision and grind, they always make it!
The Toronto I grew up in was when Kardinal, Choclair K'naan were coming up. Jamestown Bleecker St. Good to see all the talent coming from the town. Big up!
38:10, ITS DUUUUUVVVVVYYYYYYYY
Irrelevant then but south sides face
This means more to me than gold . The Toronto music industry tried to make me into a big star back in 2003 ( and somehow I haven't aged since cause I vanished into art studios in the mountains and got all timeless and what not ) and I've set some extremely high goals to accomplish before I go home ( haven't been home since my grandmothers funeral in 2005 ) and I CAN'T WAIT TO GO HOME AND MAKE MUSIC WITH PEOPLE . #GTANATIVEFOREVER #RAISEDONHIPHOP
bullshit
Coming back to this video after Duvy been doing good in his music craft just shows that anyone kan make it just gotta put your heart to it
keep it up i regard the hard work
i fucc with Pressa, ironically I started listening to him from Meek
Spacely what's the name of the song on 7:01?
I'm really not to sure bro
That is a dude?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
12:35 NO OFFENSE. he looks serious but the way he talking is funny asf tho 😂😂and with a straight face
He's jamaican. Got the accent still.
lyfstyl
It’s not just the accent, his voice is cracking constantly
lyfstyl hey forcing it bro im Jamaican too but only sound like that if I force it
hes known for his voice
Y Manny i thought it was a girl talking at first n he got sum female traits
Great documentary fascinating as shit! 🔥🤫
Here for pressa
i wanna see a documentary on south florida too
Victor Torres THEN NEW ORLEANS
check out World Star Hip Hop The Field Miami
I guess T-Dot Goons DVD was literally a Joke compared to this...
40:11 lmaoooo, that's brotherly chemistry right there!!!
Sick on the run.. but real doc overall sttiiiillllllllllll
Where Roy Woods
1:08:30
In the OVO Sweatshop Cooking Up Music For EL Drake
Roywoods is near Victoria Park And 401
Lmao roy woods is from Brampton not even toronto. I know people who went to his high school in Brampton
He's a Brampton yute
Respect to the world one life one love I love ur inspiration 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲✊💯
I remember when maestro fresh wes came out and it blew everybody's mind when he said he was from canada.
Pressa got that androgynous looking vibe going for him, he's a real cutie. I'll be copping some of the T.O. music still. They dehf dont get enough shine cos this is my first time knowing about these guys. Hoping to see their names on OVO lineup this year.
missing puffy lz, smoke dawg, mo g, 88glam, killy, nav, kmoney and belly ....big ups pressa, castro, fiji and jazz cartier tho🙏🏼
half those guys you named dont rep toronto like that ( except for k money and nav) or are washed (mo g and puffy), they need to go to artists from scarbs like french, archee, boogz, etc. regent (lil berete) or more jane and finch (robin banks, fb, burna banbdz, houdini,)
Vice!! next time take a trip to the eastend CLE NOT CLEVELAND 🔥
You should really include the song titles when you use them for background music, it helps us to find them and it helps producers. @Noisey
Gotta Make An Updated Version For Sure. Toronto Going Hard Rn
The guy from Connections is literally saying the same shit that C4 did in The Real Toronto DVD lol.
If they're going to talk about Toronto so much, I feel like they should put these neighbourhoods in perspective. Explain that their circumstances are as they are but this really makes it seems like this is what Toronto as a whole is..
I gotta say, when it comes to your tracks, you don't dissapoint🔥. Your hard work will make you the first millionaire in your family if you arent already
respect the grind from some of these ppl
toronto Police movin hella waste how u gon cancel a show in another continent smh
zomgaskill jelly thats why
That Killy cameo tho lmao
Dope shit !!
When I heard full circle I got goosebumps damn RIP Smokey
maestro fresh wes will always be a toronto legend
damn pressa sound like lil wayne if he tried to sing
I love how proper they all sound.
someone please tell me the song jazz was doing at 53:20
These just the Toronto rappers who made it into the industry, Toronto has way more talented rappers with stories to tell who haven't made it yet
I kinda see what's going on in rap as the same thing that has been going on in other aspects of society. SMH...I think that the real hip hop community should come together and create their own industry. The hip hop World Trade. Own shows, conferences, etc. So much talent out there.
Toronto actually has a sick raw hip-hop scene too if you were into the more true hip-hop sound of rap check out Daniel son asun Eastwood Raz fresco
Amazingggggggg
There is so much rap talent in Toronto. Wow!
