By Kerry Doole

DVSN -  No Cryin' feat. Future (OVO Sound): In advance of a keenly-anticipated follow-up album to the acclaimed 2017 LP Morning After, the Toronto R&B duo, comprising singer Daniel Daley and Grammy-winning producer Nineteen85, releases a new track featuring chart-topping US rapper Future. No Cryin arrives after two previous songs, Miss Me and In Between, from the group were shared earlier this year.


Nineteen85 explains in a press release that "After 60 shows on the road together for the Summer Sixteen Tour, we've linked with Future to bring fans new music. Since producing the outro on Future’s album, THE WIZRD, we're definitely no strangers in the studio. The timing couldn’t have been better for this one!"

The five nominees in 2026's rap category were white, prompting many francophone rappers, including Calamine, Aswell and more, to speak out about the lack of Black artists. ADISQ tells Billboard Canada that it plans to “strengthen" its processes and meet with stakeholders to find a positive resolution for the future.

Quebecois rappers are speaking out about the lack of Black artists nominated in the rap categories at the ADISQ Gala.

At this year’s Premier Gala on Nov. 4, the Félix Award best rap album of the year went to Loud’s Douze sur douze. This year’s five nominees were Loud, Calamine, Aswell, Kinji00 and Fouki — all of whom are white.
