After releasing his reggae EP – The Mystikal Yute – a few weeks ago, Toronto lyricist, Tha Vor, is now setting his sights on a hip-hop EP. The project, which he’s hoping to have ready in November, will be called “How to Make a Monster.”
Similar to his reggae EP, “How to Make a Monster” will feature approximately five songs. Additionally, It will showcase Tha Vor‘s lyrical depth, as he’s known for his thought provoking content. It goes without saying that his current trending single, Star Wars, will be featured on the EP.
It is always awesome when hip-hop and reggae collide on the same track! On this occasion it is even more special because of who the artists are: respected New Jersey MC Redman and U.S. Virgin Islands’ reggae singer Pressure Busspipe.
The song and video, titled “Black Man In America,” was released only a few days ago and it’s already buzzing in the hip-hop community. Click here or on the image above to check out the video and here to download the song.
