It's A Rap: 'Canadian Boy' Hits High Note For Raptors' NBA Glory

By FYI Staff

It’s a rapturous time for Canada and Toronto specifically with the Raptors triumphant sixth-game victory that has won them the NBA title.


Drake has been the team’s most visible supporter, next to ‘superfan’ Nav Bhatia–and there’s plenty of rap songs extolling the league’s new champ. However, none has quite captured the moment quite like Peter Jackson who first made a name for himself in 2015 with his We The North playoff anthem, and late last month the self-proclaimed ‘Canadian Boy’ released Toronto Raptors 2019 NBA Finals Anthem on his YouTube channel with 100% of profits from the track going to the MLSE charitable Foundation.

Montreal Jazz Culture Takes Centre Stage at TIFF 2025

Chosen for TIFF 2025’s Short Cuts Program 01, Jazz infernal by Will Niava features original music, blending Montreal’s jazz heritage with the contemporary journey of a young Ivorian trumpeter in exile.

Driven by jazz as a universal language, the short film Jazz Infernal follows the journey of a young Ivorian trumpeter navigating exile, integration, and Afro-descendant memory.

Premiered last week at Toronto’s Scotiabank Theatre and nominated in the short films category at TIFF 2025, the film premiered as part of Short Cuts on September 4.
