About Canadian R&B / Hip-Hop
Toronto's 2010s rise turned Canada from a regional rap market into a global one. Drake's OVO Sound and The Weeknd's XO label reshaped contemporary R&B with the moody, atmospheric production that became known as the 6 sound, while The Halluci Nation pioneered powwow-step, an Indigenous-led electronic genre with First Nations powwow drums at its core.
