The 2021 Prism Prize for Best Canadian Music Video was awarded to Theo Kapodistrias, for his clip for Haviah Mighty’s Thirteen. We will continue to profile noteworthy Canadian videos that are eligible for the 2022 prize, including this one from an eclectic Vancouver-based artist.


Debby Friday - Runnin

Debby Friday is a Vancouver-based artist who mixes electronic beats with influences of drill, industrial, experimental, and hip-hop. Runnin is one of her most recent singles, potentially in the build-up to a new project. Debby has released two LPs over the past few years. 

‘Runnin is a psychedelic experience. Debby Friday has multiple colourful spectres, copies of herself walking at her sides down a dark tunnel. It’s as if you’re seeing quadruple, but rather than being concerned about your eyesight, you’re just taking in the soft, wavy neons as Debby surges forward. This fits extremely well with the song itself, as Debby and her clones come towards the camera relentlessly, as the driving beat feels as though it is what’s pushing her. Absolutely a worthwhile watch, and if you end up enjoying it, Debby’s other videos should tickle your fancy as well.

Spotify Responds To Drake’s UMG Legal Action, Blasting ‘False’ Claims & Demanding Dismissal

The rapper claims Spotify helped UMG boost Kendrick's "Not Like Us," but Spotify now says the action is a "subversion" of the legal system and never should have been filed.

Spotify is firing back at Drake’s accusations that the streamer helped Universal Music Group artificially boost Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” calling the allegations “false” and blasting the rapper’s legal action as a “subversion of the normal judicial process.”

The new filing is the first response to a petition filed last month in which Drake accused UMG and Spotify of an illegal “scheme” involving bots, payola and other methods to pump up Lamar’s song — a track that savagely attacked Drake amid an ongoing feud between the two stars.
