The official video for the second single off The New North compilation, JD Era Ft. Lokz “Change”.

‘A young man is surrounded by life’s troubles and obstacles. He is in search of something positive to give him hope, he finds it in the words of JD Era. “Change” is the second single off The Real Frequency’s The New North compilation featuring some of Toronto’s finest. JD Era and LOKZ provide fitting rhymes and vocals for this Soundsmith produced beat.’

“Change” was inspired by the title of The Real Frequency’s project “The New North”. I feel like this album symbolizes a changing of the guard, passing the torch to those next up from Toronto. Being a young artist and having been fortunate enough to have gotten an early start in this music industry, I felt this was the perfect record to motivate those that want to pick up the mic. At the same time, I’m letting them know that nothing comes easy, so work hard, and believe in yourself.”

Rich Kidd talks about his joint on the Real Frequency’s The New North compilation.

Represent features, King Reign, Richie Sosa, Shaun Boothe and Rich on production, as well as a verse.
Peep it here:

Flawless features Shad with production from Frank Dukes. This joint incites visions of action, James Bond type ish, or some anime type joints. So it was fitting to add some anime visuals to this song, from the classic Ninja Scroll. Frank Dukes had this to say about this song:

“After learning I would be working with Shad, I knew I wanted to bring him into a different zone than what people were accustomed to or might expect from him thus far. I gave him a rugged, aggressive beat that he absolutely bodied, which kind of led to the title of the song.”

Yeah, we all bugged when we heard him on this. Shouts to Dj Dopey for the cuts.
