The 2019 Prism Prize for Best Canadian Music Video was awarded to Kevan Funk, for his clip for Belle Game’s Low. We will continue to profile noteworthy Canadian videos, including this one from a popular veteran BC hip-hop artist.


Madchild - Demons

Madchild is a pseudonym for artist Shane Bunting, who is part of acclaimed hip-hop group Swollen Members, based out of Vancouver, BC. 

Lyrically, Demons offers a hard and honest look into the addictive personality that continues to haunt Madchild. The song also takes a stab at the repercussions of drug and alcohol usage. The song is a message to himself about all the bad decisions he’s made and how it’s time to move on and be a better person.

The video follows the lyrics. It shows Madchild in a motel room with a couple of girls. There is heavy drug and alcohol use in the video, which only showcases more of the demons that Madchild is dealing with.  The clip has amassed almost 1.2M YouTube views.

Drake and Chris Brown Reportedly Face Another Copyright Infringement Lawsuit Over 2019 Hit 'No Guidance'

After a separate lawsuiit was dropped two years ago, a new complaint alleges the song infringes on the copyright of the 2016 song "I Got It" by Tykeiya.

Drake could need some guidance on a new lawsuit. The Canadian superstar is named in a suit alongside Chris Brown alleging that their 2019 hit "No Guidance" copies a 2017 track, "I Got It" by Tykeiya, as reported by Music Business Worldwide. "No Guidance" hit No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, and topped several charts like Hot R&B Songs and R&B/Hip-hop Airplay, as well as passing one billion plays on Spotify.

The singers faced a previous suit that was dropped in 2022, but the new legal complaint comes from different parties. Tykeiya Dore and Marc Stephens are suing Drake, Brown, and the rest of the song's writers (Nija Charles, Michee Lebrun and Tyler Bryant) and producers (Anderson Hernandez, Joshua Huizar, Teddy Walton, and Noah Shebib).
