 Devontée: Real Rudebwoy feat. Kardinal Offishall

By Kerry Doole

Devontée - 'Real Rudebwoy (feat. Kardinal Offishall)" (Independent):  Devontée (Cormier-Grubb) is a hip-hop artist and producer who is highly-regarded on the Toronto scene. On this new track and video, he collaborates with rap veteran Kardinal Offishall, and the Jamaican elements on the cut reflect Kardi's influence.


The eye-catching video is directed by Rami Accoumeh, and Devontée explains in a press release that "this video is about great vibes, and lots of culture, because that's what the Toronto I know is all about. That's what raised me, so I had to give that energy back to them!"  

Devontée holds his own in trading verses with the ever-fluent Offishall, and the wordy cut is full of entertaining rhymes like "So kardi I ain't sorry pull up Harleys to your party Smoking Bob Marley with a girl that's acting naughty."

Kesha Shows Support for Cassie Ventura Following Diddy Trial Verdict: ‘I Believe You’

Though convicted on prostitution charges, the mogul was found not guilty of sex-trafficking his ex-girlfriend.

After Sean “Diddy” Combs was found not guilty of sex-trafficking, despite days of Cassie Ventura testifying to the contrary, the singer has received support from someone who knows what it’s like to have their sexual assault claims play out in court: Kesha.

Just hours after the Bad Boy Records founder was acquitted on sex-trafficking and racketeering charges Wednesday (July 2) — with a New York jury only convicting him on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution — Kesha shared a message of solidarity with Ventura on X. “Cassie, I believe you,” she wrote. “I love you.”
