Toronto’s own Rich Kidd has been Canada’s best-kept secret since his ascension from local underground stardom to national fame in the past couple of years. The architect of a new sound coming from T Dot, Rich has been steadily amassing praise from industry greats and music critics for his 360-degree musical vision: as an inspirational artist, world-class producer, and captivating performer. The compilation series We On Some Rich Kidd Shit Vol. 1-7, an annual event in the local music scene that is entirely orchestrated under his creative vision, has featured over 100 artists and proven to be a showcase for some of the best talent coming from his hometown. As his name became synonymous with quality, it didn’t take long for him to get in the studio with the country’s best from Drake to Kardinal Offishall, K-os, Shad, and Saukrates, adding underground classics, commercial hits and award-winning projects to his resume. With his most recent releases including debut solo mix tape In My Opinion, collaborative album The Closers with SonReal, Kiddstrumentals Volume 2 and a debut album to follow, there seems to be no limit to what the Kidd can do.
