While the lay hip-hop fan's concept of Toronto might begin and end with the snapshots Aubrey Graham gives in his videos and on Instagram, there are gritty elements that Drake can't lint roll away. The massive city--the greater area is home to some 6 million people--is also home to Raz Fresco, a promising 20-year-old rapper whose debut album is just around the corner. Tapping Bishop Nehru for the assist, Raz drops the debut for "Equinox," where the pair dip into the woods and trade cerebral bars with one another. Fresco, who has produced for Tyga, French Montana and Big Sean, among others, shows that Nehru isn't alone among precocious MCs from the Eastern seaboard. His entirely self-produced LP, Pablo Frescobar, is due out June 2 and features contributions from Chuck Inglish, Joey Bada$$ and even Raekwon.
