Despite nurturing world class DJs like A-Trak and Kid Koala and producers to the greats including Kaytranada and Lunice, Canada\u2019s cultural capital has stubbornly refused to unite around a rap superstar. Dig a bit deeper and you\u2019ll find plenty of talent: a weekly backpack cypher in Girouard park, a plethora of French-speaking trap icons, and a long list of prospects from the rapidly gentrifying Little Burgundy neighborhood. But these scenes are rarely in dialogue, and they\u2019ve never achieved the critical mass necessary to break internationally.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            So when the 20-year-old Saint Vincent-born rapper Skiifall went viral last year thanks to the lilting, hooky \u201cTing Tun Up,\u201d clued-in music fans instantly started acclaiming him as Montreal\u2019s great rap hope: an artist who could expand the city\u2019s reputation beyond bookish art-rock bands and party-rocking dance acts. \u201cIt was crazy, the reaction when I got on at [Montreal festival] Mural Fest this summer,\u201d Skiifall says now, regarding his sudden ascent. \u201cI just did what I had to do but it was my first time stepping out on such a big stage here and the noise, the reaction, it was beyond positive.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-227214\" class=\"content_block breaker triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left image\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1440,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/skii18527TOBI__fbvw39\/skiifall-gen-f-profile-interview-ting-tun-up-montreal-rap.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_220,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/skii18527TOBI__fbvw39\/skiifall-gen-f-profile-interview-ting-tun-up-montreal-rap.jpg 220w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_300,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/skii18527TOBI__fbvw39\/skiifall-gen-f-profile-interview-ting-tun-up-montreal-rap.jpg 300w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/skii18527TOBI__fbvw39\/skiifall-gen-f-profile-interview-ting-tun-up-montreal-rap.jpg 400w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_600,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/skii18527TOBI__fbvw39\/skiifall-gen-f-profile-interview-ting-tun-up-montreal-rap.jpg 600w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_750,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/skii18527TOBI__fbvw39\/skiifall-gen-f-profile-interview-ting-tun-up-montreal-rap.jpg 750w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_840,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/skii18527TOBI__fbvw39\/skiifall-gen-f-profile-interview-ting-tun-up-montreal-rap.jpg 840w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_960,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/skii18527TOBI__fbvw39\/skiifall-gen-f-profile-interview-ting-tun-up-montreal-rap.jpg 960w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1260,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/skii18527TOBI__fbvw39\/skiifall-gen-f-profile-interview-ting-tun-up-montreal-rap.jpg 1260w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1800,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/skii18527TOBI__fbvw39\/skiifall-gen-f-profile-interview-ting-tun-up-montreal-rap.jpg 1800w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_2400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/skii18527TOBI__fbvw39\/skiifall-gen-f-profile-interview-ting-tun-up-montreal-rap.jpg 2400w,\" sizes=\"100vw\" alt=\"Skiifall is cracking the code\"><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;

Born to a mother already working internationally, he moved to Montreal to be with her at age 8, for what he originally thought was a two-month vacation, finding himself bouncing around the city\u2019s C\u00f4te Saint-Luc, Saint Laurent and NDG neighborhoods. \u201cI wanted to go home, but I wanted to stay. I was confused,\u201d Skiifall says, reflecting on the transition. This also meant going to school in French, a language he didn\u2019t know, and learning to fit in with the city\u2019s overlapping Caribbean communities. \u201cGrowing up, people laughed how I talked. My English wasn\u2019t the way people talk here, in Canada. But now they fuck with it. I always said, \u2019No one\u2019s going to make me change.\u2019 At the same time, living here, it opened my eyes because of how Montreal\u2019s set up. I could be living in my situation, but one block away I\u2019d see the richest houses in the city.\u201d It\u2019s a poignant observation, given he\u2019s wolfing down steak and eggs in one of his neighborhood\u2019s hippest caf\u00e9s, a few blocks away from public housing.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div

Vincentian slang, moody keys, and booming 808s immediately stood out both locally and internationally. For Montrealers used to rap coming from the city\u2019s larger Haitian and Jamaican communities, it was simultaneously familiar and unexpected, as if the wunderkind had cracked the code to combining the disparate musical influences animating Montreal\u2019s various pockets of Black culture, while also bringing something brand new to the table. <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-227240\" class=\"content_block breaker triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left embed\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\">\n    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"SKIIFALL - Ting Tun Up Part II FT Knucks (Official Video)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EZwW2fYhTJM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-227241\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>            \u201cTing Tun Up\u201d made a massive impact in the UK as well, rapidly receiving a sequel with a feature from UK driller Knucks, rave Instagram reviews from Jorja Smith, and a steady stream of plays from international listeners trying to figure out just where this kid came from. \u201cFrom the day I dropped \u2018Ting Tun Up,\u2019 I promoted it in Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, and Europe. I thought, I don\u2019t need to blow up in the States \u2014 the real tastemakers are abroad. There are so many rappers in the States. There\u2019s 10 million Lil Babies, but I want to be me. From the love I\u2019ve been getting online to actually going to the UK, I realized that people really do fuck with my music. I knew it, but seeing it in person was a different story. They accept me because it\u2019s a brand-new sound, but there\u2019s drill and reggae and soca elements, so it connects.\u201d Nevertheless, Skiifall stresses that while he appreciates the love, he\u2019s determined to make it on his own terms, repping both Montreal and his roots: \u201cIt\u2019s about being the original one. I\u2019m from Saint Vincent, not London. A lot of my people from Saint Vincent went to London. There\u2019s a lot of people in London that adapted to how we speak! They might not know that we talk like how they do, but it never bothered me.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-227217\" class=\"content_block

keep exploring, having recently returned from his first <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a> to London impressed with the city\u2019s musical infrastructure, but he\u2019s also emphatic about wanting to expand his sound to incorporate a deeper strain of Black music, from Jimi Hendrix\u2019s exploratory approach to sonics to the Reggae and Dub fueling Caribbean music since the \u201970s. It\u2019s an approach clearly audible on his latest single \u201cBreak of Dawn\u201d with Torontonian jazz-funk instrumental group BadBadNotGood, a track combining the lilting melodies he\u2019s perfected so far and the <i>chant down Babylon<\/i> energy of classics Roots. Usually speaking with the reservation of a kid just beginning to acclimate to the influx of attention that comes with fame, he lights up when describing recent studio sessions and choosing the right delay to give his music the right texture. \u201cPeople don\u2019t know how to renew the sound and make it new and interesting. My craziest influences right now are reggae and everything rootsy from back then.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-227220\" class=\"content_block breaker triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left image\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1440,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/skii18569TOBI__obibs4\/skiifall-gen-f-profile-interview-ting-tun-up-montreal-rap.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_220,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/skii18569TOBI__obibs4\/skiifall-gen-f-profile-interview-ting-tun-up-montreal-rap.jpg 220w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_300,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/skii18569TOBI__obibs4\/skiifall-gen-f-profile-interview-ting-tun-up-montreal-rap.jpg 300w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/skii18569TOBI__obibs4\/skiifall-gen-f-profile-interview-ting-tun-up-montreal-rap.jpg 400w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_600,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/skii18569TOBI__obibs4\/skiifall-gen-f-profile-interview-ting-tun-up-montreal-rap.jpg 600w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_750,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/skii18569TOBI__obibs4\/skiifall-gen-f-profile-interview-ting-tun-up-montreal-rap.jpg 750w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_840,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/skii18569TOBI__obibs4\/skiifall-gen-f-profile-interview-ting-tun-up-montreal-rap.jpg 840w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_960,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/skii18569TOBI__obibs4\/skiifall-gen-f-profile-interview-ting-tun-up-montreal-rap.jpg 960w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1260,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/skii18569TOBI__obibs4\/skiifall-gen-f-profile-interview-ting-tun-up-montreal-rap.jpg 1260w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1800,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/skii18569TOBI__obibs4\/skiifall-gen-f-profile-interview-ting-tun-up-montreal-rap.jpg 1800w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_2400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/skii18569TOBI__obibs4\/skiifall-gen-f-profile-interview-ting-tun-up-montreal-rap.jpg 2400w,\" sizes=\"100vw\" alt=\"Skiifall is cracking the code\"><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-227210\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>            Despite \u201cBreak Of Dawn\u201d already making waves on XL Recordings, Skiifall isn\u2019t keen rush his process to get an album out. \u201cI need to take time. It has to sound right, I have to plan it months in advance before I really get into it. I don\u2019t want to just put together 10 songs and rush them out. That\u2019s not an album, that\u2019s a mixtape. I want to put 20 years of my life into my album. People will have to be patient, because you can\u2019t make good music overnight, every night. I need to experience life, listen to more music and learn more about myself, the people around me, and society.\u201d This past summer\u2019s <i>Woiiyoie Tapes Vol. 1<\/i> is a punchy 3 track affair, from the breezy \u201cMy Gully\u201d to gyal tune \u201cLos Angeles\u201d to the roughneck \u201cBagga Yute.\u201d The project effortlessly channeling the lightning-in-a-bottle energy of \u201cTing Tun Up\u201d into songs equal parts accessible and authentic. <\/p>\n<p>            That bodes well for an artist who, on his breakout single, boldly claimed \u201cDrake done know seh Skiifall next up.\u201d When pressed about it, he laughs: \u201cDrake didn\u2019t say it, but I know he feels it. I said it in that way to catch his attention and have people tweeting \u2014 a friend of mine went to dinner with him and he acknowledged me. His manager follows me now. I manifested it all the way through. Your tongue is powerful, the way you say things: it will happen. But you got to put that hard work behind it.\u201d  <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">Son Raw<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
