October 14, 2022 - ‘Man Like Me’ EP
There are a number of musical influences sprinkled all over this EP.
I would describe this project as a fusion of dancehall cadences, UK flows and Toronto slang spit over off kilter beats. This all started because my producer Universes had asked me If I would ever consider making music that was more inspired by my Jamaican roots.
I had struggled for the longest finding my voice as an artist and I think I'm just about there now as stated with Track 1 (Dweet Fi Dem). I use my music as a journal of sorts where I vent/unpack how my time spent as a teen in Toronto’s Rexdale neighborhood has shaped my current self. - Lan’do
