On May 13, the biggest prize for Canadian music videos will be handed out in Toronto. We are profiling some of the Top 20 nominees before that, including this clip from a platinum-selling BC rapper. Slaight Music is Patron Sponsor for the Prism Prize.


SonReal - "Have a Nice Day"

This eye-catching clip earned acclaimed director Peter Huang a Juno nomination this year in the Video of the Year category. It has been a hit with the public too, notching almost 1.2 million YouTube views since its release in July 2018. In it, SonReal's head is superimposed on a dog and used as a football, while a singing navel is another of many surreal images.

The video medium has been good to SonReal, as his 2014 breakthrough hit, “Everywhere We Go,” featured a charming video that went viral, grabbing over 22M views. 

Huang has worked with such artists as Martin Garrix, Avicii, and Jessie Reyez, and has also earned nominations for the MTV Video Music Awards, MuchMusic Video Awards, UK MVAs and the Young Director Award in Cannes.

His narrative work has screened at Sundance and the Toronto International Film Festival, and his short film, 5 Films About Technology, played in theatres across the US. Huang also moonlights as a guitarist, playing with SonReal on his tours across Canada, US, and Europe.

Drake and Chris Brown in the 'No Guidance' video

Drake et Chris Brown dans le clip de « No Guidance »

Drake et Chris Brown feraient l'objet d'un autre procès pour violation de droits d'auteur concernant le tube de 2019 « No Guidance »

Après qu'une autre procédure a été abandonnée il y a deux ans, une nouvelle plainte allègue que la chanson viole les droits d'auteur de la chanson « I Got It » de Tykeiya (2016).

Drake pourrait avoir besoin de conseils dans le cadre d'un nouveau procès. La superstar canadienne est citée dans un procès aux côtés de Chris Brown, alléguant que leur tube de 2019 « No Guidance » copie un titre de 2016, « I Got It » de Tykeiya, comme l'a rapporté Music Business Worldwide. « No Guidance » a atteint la cinquième place du Billboard Hot 100 et s'est classé en tête de plusieurs classements tels que Hot R&B Songs et R&B/Hip-hop Airplay, tout en dépassant le milliard d'écoutes sur Spotify.

Les chanteurs ont déjà fait l'objet d'un procès qui a été abandonné en 2022, mais la nouvelle plainte provient d'autres parties. Tykeiya Dore et Marc Stephens poursuivent Drake, Brown et les autres auteurs de la chanson (Nija Charles, Michee Lebrun et Tyler Bryant) et producteurs (Anderson Hernandez, Joshua Huizar, Teddy Walton et Noah Shebib).
