NORTHSIDE

Home to The Weeknd & Drake, the successful alumni have spawned a spotlight on the talent capable of coming from the 6ix but the musical infrastructure within the city from labels to award shows, often disregard the up and coming rappers’ talents and keep them in the shadows...
A short documentary about the up and coming rappers in Toronto.
Starring: Smoke Dawg, Jimmy Prime, Sean Leon, CMDWN & Samo.
Featuring: Murda Beatz, Puffy LZ, Safe, Donnie, Partynextdoor, Daniel Caesar, Jayemkayem, Derek Wise & Killy

[@Kushhcandyy]

This is the realist Toronto music documentary 💯❗❗❗❗ because I'm in the industry and it's sooooo true, everything said all the emotions in this video you feel is real life what Toronto artists live through on a daily basis and it's incredible how Canada treats Ontario (mainly Toronto) music industry or even entertainment industry treats us

[@AudioSaviours]

[@CertifiedCritique247]

Prime boys forever

[@atraill0]

[@ttman7602]

[@thafoedotcom]

Amazing doc Nathan, felt you may have missed a trick with Jay Whiss (his music is HEAVY) but overall a great representation of the 6ix!

[@abdulhabaza3736]

RIP smoke dawg for real good dude kind heart to allah we belong and to him we shall return 🙏ameen

[@britox.6216]

The music scene in Toronto right now is blowing the fuck up. Whether it's rap or electronic, it's crazy underrated. Thanks for spreading the word with this video fam, for real. Fuck the industry, I hate all them mf's

[@DreLocksley]

Would've loved to see my favorite rapper in the city Jazz Cartier but this was really dope

[@mmynameisg]

[@thisisDeus]

Fuck that sean leon verse was SOOO COLD

[@cleoluana9794]

I love your documentaries 🙏🏾

[@joshtayo8616]

I enjoyed this I don't really fuck with documentaries like that

[@1kgrrrt510]

Toronto till I die

[@toringuest]

There are tons of scenes in Toronto lacking any type outlet. It's so sad.

[@rashkadedj5393]

Rip hommie

[@jettraps6113]

fucking beautiful

[@doramcleod6799]

Great 👍🏻 insight into the struggles they face to get where they wanna be ! Unfortunately the street politics & Haters keep it from getting ahead cause of police 👮 and media always shedding negative 👎 light on the artists & their hoods ! I admit I first wasn't listening till 1 day #SmokeDawg said he the best ever out of #RegentPark ! He is damn good & Being an Ol G these artists got talent & need to get more positive then negative exposure to quell the fears of public associates thanks to media & police ! I listen now to a few besides #SmokeDawg & #PuffyL'z , listen to #Pressa, #RobinBanks, #TallUpTwinz , #Casper, #JimmyPrime #AsunEastwood & all got what it takes just keep GRINDING Homies it will be !

[@jprime6590]

Prime in the building

[@manolo900west]

J Prime 930 west in the building

[@paramount7616]

do know prime boys personally?

[@chloe-vl2bv]

There is a shop in Ireland called Northside

[@myleshylton369]

Nice doc you should do another one on the rnb scene not just rap

[@KingLittlemessi]

Anyone know what the songs called that’s playing at 1:00

[@LouMurk]

7:30 SAMO saying the exact same shit I been saying for years. Canada's music industry don't give a fuck about our sound so when a Toronto nigga makes it big and glows past these wack acts they all of a sudden care but fuck em fam, UK radio mans be givin more shine to Toronto then our own stations, like WTF?

[@JudahJump]

Big up the mandem #Toronto2London

[@rayanhussain4593]

LLSD

[@spkktr]

Almost all my favorite artists in one video 👌

[@mathieusimoneau4721]

They really had everyone in this documentary

[@DkDoll1]

Mathieu Simoneau not everybody

[@DkDoll1]

Mathieu Simoneau there's no mention of pressa, nav, j soul, ramriddlez, booggz, majid jordan, roy woods, casper, robin banks, etc. but it's still a fire documentary.

[@TwelveK]

When she said they don't play Tory or PnD on the radio....lol, super extra. Devonteè most underrated artist in Toronto, HANDS DOWN!

[@lowlife3767]

Dope concept and visuals , but the only thing is that you said up and coming rappers in Toronto but you only showcase downtown based artists and ovo associates when there's other regions of Toronto that have talent too , but regardless still tough just wanted to point that out

[@kingkunta9279]

LOW LIFE Sean Leon reps the east end

[@dolessnevermore]

sean leon is from parkdale goofy

[@kingkunta9279]

Nat King Cole he's from the east

[@notoriousrevolutionary4295]

Rest up Smokey but yo where Moe G at

[@Calgaryflames170]

mo g switched up

[@tyroneblack9172]

Nah halal gang switched up on Mo-G*

[@dukezey5583]

Yo at 57 seconds I swear that vanauley stacks and smoke dawg in the same pic together

[@ItsGlue]

Duk3z E.Y. That's SAFE looool

[@CertifiedCritique247]

What’s the song at 8:22

[@thuprmnd0008]

the labels up here only take on the artists who either perpetuate canadian traditional culture or the artists that will compromise the local sound to be on top.So either youre watered down or youre a pop or country artist

[@notoriousrevolutionary4295]

Mo-G is fire 🔥🔥🔥 where that Nigga at? Halal gang!!!

[@haikuazita8313]

Pressa ?

[@CertifiedCritique247]

What’s the name of the song at 8:22?

[@theboy4049]

[@shannonsweeney3712]

Matthew in the Middle - Sean Leon& Daniel Caesar

[@dondraper9673]

found it...thanks again!

[@jayybren]

Weeknd is from Kingston not Toronto

[@dondemarco1934]

NO MO-G FUC OUTTA HERE..

[@WaldoFoSho]

Northside goes coast to coast! Vancity just as if not more slept on. Tdot artist always get far more support on the hiphop scene so pls believe the struggle is coastal.. Check out Brevner , Snak the ripper, Tone of Voyce's , Fatty downs , Manila Grey .. they;be been paying their own ways fully with out the support of any top radio platform, but these chaps selling out shows world wide! Canadian music has the talent to support its own industry if the corporate's would just recognize that everyone would be eating better !! #wethenorth

[@victoryoung4163]

[@Goon44444]

Song at 32 secs??

[@lilboozy12]

[@easyfoods4320]

Awoly awaoly, drug dealing end up that way

[@jeffthompson6857]

free homi tell smokey get his chain

[@manolo900west]

This is missing a whole lot of ppl from Toronto Pyrex, Moula 1st, Bobby Jay, F30 , Blackz , 900ways , CRAZY do some research

[@deeppatel7496]

those guys are good but theyre not even bigger then some other artists like the CLE mans (french, pengz, twotwo, archee), Wass gang (robin, fb, talluptwinz, burna bandz, houdini), northsidebenji, MG (Casper, rk, kmoney), if the video doesnt cover them what makes you think they will cover the guys you listed

[@dkburger]

There are only black people, why! What about jus reign? What about Brown rappers?

[@VaultDwellerOG]

He's a youtube comedian and NAV is already famous.

[@deeppatel7496]

Jusreign isnt a serious rapper hes a youtube rapper

[@deeppatel7496]

why would they cover a youtuber who occasionally raps to make his fans laugh, when they can cover people who are actually serious about the music shit

[@deeppatel7496]

and the only brown rapper that can actually rap thats out rn is NAV and hes already up, all those other punjabi rappers you hear wasteyutes in brampton bumping who do half rap half punjabi music can go fuck themselves
