As solo artists, Rich Kidd and SonReal have both made a tremendous impact in the Canadian hip-hop scene. Rich is The People's Champ, a hero in Toronto, and a sought-after producer. His We On Some Rich Kidd Shiiiiit mixtape series has become a highlight of the summer for hip-hop heads across the country. Son is also multi-talented. The Vancouverite's fluid mixture of singing and rapping is instantly recognizable, and he has a gift to create catchy hooks. That said, his complex bar structures and double time rhymes prove that, underneath the pop sensibility, he's still an MC's MC. Son has dropped four critically acclaimed mixtapes in the last two years, helping breathe new life into the hip-hop scene on the West Coast of Canada. As individuals, they were able to make an impact on the Canadian hip-hop scene. As a unit, their ambitions are even larger. Their 10-song debut album was recorded in Hollywood, and their first video “Money Money” – shot in a century old mansion outside of Toronto – is in rotation on MuchMusic. The Closers are ready to shut down shows around the globe and lead the next generation of Canadian hip-hop artists to new levels of success.
