VICE Canada Premiere: 6th Letter - "1992"

VICE Canada is excited to premiere 6th Letter's latest, "1992," which celebrates the year of his birth with soul and vintage flavour.

VICE Canada is excited to premiere “1992,” from Toronto’s 6th Letter, whose first tape in three years, NorthernplayalisticGetHighMusik is set for release sometime in 2014. Produced by his Bakers Club comrade and massive jerk poutine fan Raz Fresco, “1992” is a funky stoner jam imbued with the unapologetically boom-bap sound that has been 6th Letter's trademark long before it became a blog-rap trend. "1992" is full of flavour and stirring internal rhyme schemes that 6th nimbly manages to make sound as effortless and easy as Raz Fresco's retro revivalist production. When 6th says, "I talk jewels and spit diamonds, I been shinin' / And the crew phat, show me a rapper that ain't shinin' in it," we know he's speaking the truth. Noisey interviewed Bakers Club affiliate Eric Dingus a few weeks ago after his "Worst Behaviour" caught the attention of Drake's camp. Get into your best b-boy stance, light one up, and peep 6th Letter's ode to the year of his birth below.
