Although a native of Calgary, Vancouver’s undisputed reigning rapper, Dkay, has fiercely repped for his new home from the outset of his career. As the de facto leader of the Leftside, a collective of Vancouver’s best creatives, Dkay has been pushing Vancity’s music, film and fashion offerings to his homeland and beyond. Toronto is the city that most newbies think of when Canadian rap comes up but Dkay and crew aim to change that. With the success of his recently released debut EP, “Rudeboy”, and on the verge of kicking off a 9-city Canadian tour, odds are the West Coast representer will do just that. With a live show honed by opening for acts like YG, Tory Lanez and Travis Scott, a bounce borne of the influence of Southern artists and the fact that has been described as ‘easy on the eyes’, Kday has the labels buzzing.
Kday’s latest release, the visual for “604 Options” on which he appears alongside SMC and Cam, make it easy to see why his releases have had the support of outlets like Complex, Noisey and Hypebeast. Sit back, click play, and throw up your dub one time. West Siiiiide!
Dkay’s “Rudeboy Tour” will see him stop in 9 different Canadian cities with multiple showings in Toronto as well as Vancouver.
