This powerful track and kinetic video show why the BC hip-hop artist is making major waves. She spits her rhymes with real fire, and the lyrics hold nothing back.

Kimmortal: Sad Femme Club

By Kerry Doole

Kimmortal -  Sad Femme Club (Coax Records): This Vancouver-based hip-hop artist is making major waves with her current album X Marks the Swirl, and she has just released a video (supported by TELUS) for one of its focus tracks.


A press release explains that "the video features the 2-dimensional pastel world of Kimmortal’s inner spaces - particularly the Structure that casts a shadow in their life. Transported to a colourful room of the Sad Femme Club, Kimmortal is trained to fight the powers and transform the space she is in with their new crew.

"The concept for the “Sad Femme Club” music video came directly from Kimmortal’s imaginative and complex personal dealings with oppressions and structures."

On the track, she spits her rhymes with real fire, while the lyrics hold nothing back. Samples: "I've got zero tolerance when they fuck with my sacred space" - "Toxic masculinity is killing all the poetry."

An artist to listen to and watch carefully.

On June 22, Kimmortal plays the Summer Solstice Party in the Park with DJ Shub in Cumberland, BC.

Toronto International Film Festival to Premiere New Documentary on Neil Peart of Rush in 2026

The recently announced film honouring the late Rush drummer will be receiving its world premiere on Sept. 16 along with several additional screenings, ahead of its release on CBC on Sept. 23. Plus, Heated Rivalry's Hudson Williams joins TIFF for its In Conversation With... series.

TIFF is celebrating a Canadian rock music legend. The Toronto International Film Festival has released its full programming, revealing that it will host the world premiere of the forthcoming documentary Neil Peart: No One's Disciple, which was announced by CBC last week. The 106-minute film gathers Peart's Rush bandmates Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, plus other famed drummers like Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Chad Smith, The Police’s Stewart Copeland and Tool’s Danny Carey, all of whom honour the late musician's life, legacy, upbringing and illustrious career as part of one of the biggest Canadian bands of all-time.

"That Peart’s parts are so challenging even for such revered players says a lot about the ingenuity and dexterity he brought to Rush’s music," TIFF programmer Jason Anderson writes of the film. "The performances also become one of several means of commemorating a man who — as Dunn’s film reveals — was equally complex. The remembrances and anecdotes of the musicians and other intimates help fill out the portrait that Dunn creates via archival interviews and other footage."
