Toronto's been steadily putting out some incredible music over the past few years that's reached far past the GTA. The city is a hub for talent that's only beginning to see beyond the scope of Drake. Among the talented artists coming out is Burna Bandz. He's been making noise on an underground scale for a while but he's readying to blow up.
He recently released his new project, Bandz Can't Fold this week which also highlights other rising stars in the city such as J Neat, Baby K, Supawassi, and Why S. The project arrives days after the murder of Houdini who Burna Bandz was extremely close with.
"We gone keep turning up for you down here cro, I love you always, I know you watching rn @houdini," he wrote on his IG post.
