One of Canada’s most charismatic and versatile hip-hop voices, Mouraine’s sophomore project finds him paying tribute to his home base on the north side of Edmonton, celebrating its community and reputation for being a diverse and multicultural place. Ranging from tracks with piano and strings, blown-out industrial bangers, melodic tunes and songs with both great one-liners and storytelling moments about his experience as an immigrant, Mouraine does it all.
Featuring Cindy Lee, Nemahsis, Wyatt C. Louis, and more — These Canadian artists all commandeered our headphones this year in a compelling way.
