Toronto has put on for the rap scene for years. From underground favorites, Maestro, k-os, Choclair, Saukrates, and Roy Woods to mainstream acts like Nav and Pressa. Of course, Canada has pop stars like Justin Beiber and The Weeknd but this list is strictly rappers.
Drake
Of course the 6 God made this list. Drake is undeniably the biggest rapper to come out of Canada.
Tory Lanez
While he may seem like a magnet for trouble, Tory’s music has support. Controversy sells, right? He came up on the rough side of Toronto and is making waves without OVO.
K’Naan
Somali wordsmith K’Naan may be best remembered for his World Cup 2010 anthem “Wavin Flag” in South Africa.
PARTYNEXTDOOR
PND has had a mystique since he entered the game. He pops up to drop top-quality music and then dips for a while, only to do it again.
Kardinal Offishal
Before it was the 6, it was T-Dot and Kardinal Offishall’s Caribbean flavored raps had heads nodding across the globe.
