Winter Winter Wonderland is an aggressive piece of music in which you can hear the struggle it takes to break into the industry, often finding yourself in cities or towns you’ve never been, feeling like you’re all alone and have no clue where you are—a similar feeling when at home in the woods on a heavy snow day. Surviving the cold wilderness is much like battle rap. You have to be swift and cunning and have wit that can save your life.
Artist Quote: “I’ve lived in a small town in Canada for my entire life. To become a rapper and performer, I had to create my own scene, making way for more artists to follow suit, but it wasn’t easy. Since we have long winters, we have a lot of snow on many show nights. Sometimes, it becomes too much, and almost no one comes out, but it’s a part of who I am. Like many artists, I began to tour internationally, but before that, I had to master my craft, and I did that in the middle of nowhere with many cold, snowy nights.”
