 Lido Pimienta's Complicated Life

It’s not a secret that my country is in perpetual political turmoil. But never in my 30 years have I ever seen my country so united for such a stupid thing. Left, right, centre, everyone’s saying, ‘They stole the crown from our beautiful queen.’ It got me thinking. Here I am in Canada romanticizing living in Colombia. It’s so easy to be an immigrant, a person involved in activism, to think it’s so much better back home. I started writing this cynical love letter to my country. Canada is also problematic, but it has given me my independence, my son.

Through all the difficulties, it’s important to understand the complexities of the world, and how the world is not yours if you’re not rich or born a certain way. I am a complicated person who writes songs. If you’re into complexity and the search for the self, I’m your artist.

Julia Wolf went from a relatively unknown artist to notching a Drake collaboration seemingly overnight. The emerging singer joined the Zach Kang Show on Monday (Oct. 27), where she detailed how a Drake Instagram follow and DM led to them eventually collaborating on “Dog House” in September.

“We were freaking out, it was like 6 in the morning… It’s 6 a.m. and Tanner’s waking me up [at] 6 in the morning — ‘Champagnepapi followed you!'” she recalled. “Then it’s freaking Drake, and he DMs me lyrics of ‘In My Room.’ How do you have a regular day?”
