Sean Leon – 81
As Toronto has grown into one of hip-hop’s unlikely hotbeds, a slew of under the radar talent has emerged out of the city. One of the most captivating of these rappers is Sean Leon, who just dropped “81” a quick and dirty single that perfectly encapsulates the 6’s dark sound.
Leon isn’t one of the dime-a-dozen Drake clones though, his sound is actually more in the Travis Scott realm. His flow is slightly autotuned and his instrumentals are a blend of ominous synths and vocal samples.
“81” isn’t reinventing the wheel, but it’s a reminder of Leon’s tremendous potential and the beat switch at the end is pure magic.
