Prime Boys: Come Wit It

This Toronto hip-hop trio has been making a mark online, and signing to eOne will boost their prospects. Aiding the cause is this cut featuring insistent beats, fluent rhymes and a raunchy new video.

Prime Boys: Come Wit It

By Kerry Doole

Prime Boys -"Come Wit It" (eOne): This Toronto hip-hop crew comprises Jimmy Prime, Jay Whiss, and Donnie, and they have made a mark, individually and collectively, with earlier tracks on YouTube and streaming platforms.


Joining the eOne music roster confirms they are ready for prime time, as does this bangin' new party anthem. It is produced by Murda Beatz, who has worked with the likes of Drake, Gucci Mane, and Migos, and the accompanying video clip is directed by Joe Gunner & 88 Everything.

Atop staccato and insistent beats, the trio delivers their rhymes with authority, while the clip is a suitably raunchy depiction of a decadent house (mansion) party.

In a label press release, the Boys explain "When we made the song we knew it was a banger.  We knew that in the video we wanted it to be something fun, and entertaining. Once we showed the video to Murda Beatz, and he said it’s fire, we knew it was time.”

Look for a new release early next year plus a Prime Boys appearance in the Vice documentary, 6ix Rising, a look at the T.O. scene. A string of live performances and high-profile collaborations are also expected.

Val Blavatnik to Oversee Warner Music Canada in New Role at Warner Music Group

Blavatnik will oversee Warner Music Canada as managing director of Warner Music North America, U.K. and Corporate Development at WMG. As part of a slew of executive announcements, Simon Robson will be leaving the company, while Alejandro Duque takes the top international role.

Val Blavatnik, the 28-year-old son of Warner Music Group majority owner and vice chairman Len Blavatnik, has been named managing director of Warner Music North America, U.K. and Corporate Development at the Warner Music Group, the company announced Friday (Sept. 25). In his new role the younger Blavatnik, who has held several roles at the company in recent years, and has been a board member since 2023, expects to “unify and drive business and operational strategy across these markets while guiding the company’s investment strategy to support growth,” according to a press release.

The Blavatnik announcement is part of a flurry of new executive announcements that CEO Robert Kyncl made this morning. In addition, Atlantic Music Group chairman/CEO Elliot Grainge will take on ADA in the U.S. as its new chairman, while Alejandro Duque, who has held the dual roles of president of Warner Latin and president of ADA since last July, has been named president of Warner Music International, adding Asia-Pacific and Europe, the Middle East and Africa under his oversight. (Duque will continue to oversee ADA outside the U.S.) Zach Friedman, currently COO at Atlantic Music Group, will add the title of vice chair of ADA U.S. to his resume.
