At some point last year, MJMagazine started to hear about Canadian urban artist, Tha Vor. He was first introduced to us through social media but shortly thereafter we were contacted by his manager and so got more exposed to him. The thing that stood out the most about Tha Vor was his conscious lyrics which we heard more so in his hip-hop expressions verses his dancehall songs. We reached out to him a couple weeks ago and requested an interview so that we can get an understanding of his lyrical depth.
This is how it went down.
MJMagazine: Some people seem to be a bit confused about what you represent as you seem to touch on everything in your music. Please let the masses know exactly what Tha Vor music is all about
Tha Vor: My music reflects life the choices the consequences the good the bad the struggles upliftment positivity.
MJMagazine: The Rastafarian community in Jamaica really loves your track “King of glory”. Can you tell us your state of mind when you did that song?
Tha Vor: Positive !!! up in the geez Language of Adam way up in the mystic and understanding the history of the bible and the worlds history and that there was this one man that came into the earth and fulfilled the bible exactly to every word and so I decided to drop the real truth on them from there!
MJMagazine: Listening to your music we get the sense that you do conscious hip-hop but we’ve only heard one conscious reggae song from you. When it comes to reggae and dancehall you seem to lean more towards the hype as oppose to positive messages. Why is that?
Tha Vor: In the reggae music I’ve done “times so dread “”king of glory “”mad mad” power of a woman ” even In the song “raw “I’m always speaking on the reality staying true to what life teaches me ..she say she nuh want no artificial she want it natural raw the truth straight no additives and even as I touch on a topic like that your mother your children can still listen to it because in my music it ain’t often that you need to censor my words but yea always militant positive always real. You see we didn’t just come to speak to the righteous and them who already know. Plus some life lessons can be learned without directly teaching and my words don’t come without a msg and a meaning you just have to listen.
MJMagazine: Will you continue to do both Reggae and hip-hop and if so what exactly can your fans expect from you as it relates to the lyrical content?
Tha Vor: Yes of course music is my expression my mission I won’t stop either one and lyrically u can expect a balance no cliche ting
MJMagazine: What is music industry like in Canada for up and coming artists?
Tha Vor: I can’t speak for all of Canada but In Toronto Its growing for sure especially in hip hop certain artist have made it easier for other artist because they have made a name in the industry so Toronto definitely on the map .They got community radio stations playing artist most times but shows is another thing so yea it’s still a struggle so you got to hustle and grind hard and I feel success is in everyone grasp you just got to keep reaching for it.
MJMagazine: What has been your best experience in the music so far?
Tha Vor: So far it would be opening up for the legendary rap group onyx yes that show was MADD the crowd went crazy I had them beating the walls all the security but yea that’s one of them
MJMagazine: What has been your worst experience in music so far?
Tha vor: I would say going to Jamaica in 2013 and having the video medley cancelled for the sneak preview riddim that I did “times so dread” on.
