Popular new Toronto artist, Hoodz9, recently released a new solo project on YouTube. The music video for his most recent release ‘Nah Mean’ was executive produced by Ivan Albery Powell and directed by Lawrains. Although he often releases music videos on his own channel, Hoodz9 has been known to utilize big platforms to release music videos in the past.
The Tory Lanez music video, “Adore (Remix)” was released on the world-famous Wordstar Hip-hop YouTube channel that has over 22 million subscribers. The Tory Lanez collaboration was released last year, a few months into the global health crisis, while most artists were taking a break from music. The music video was a big success, getting picked up by popular music outlets like DJ Akademiks and Complex Canada.
Even though Hoodz9 had previously collaborated on music videos with local celebrities like Houdini and Yung Tory, the big-name feature from Tory Lanez has helped to catapult him to the international level.

The song called Bad Gyal was a departure from his typical Toronto melodic sound and had more of an afro-beats influence to it.
