/
After releasing three powerful singles over the summer, Toronto rapper and singer Ekelle drops her highly anticipated “Hood Pop” EP. Produced by B.Morales, this contemporary 5-song EP takes listeners on a smooth, musical journey.
“Hood Pop” combines elements of hip hop, pop, and R&B, it's popular music with a street edge! “Hood Pop” may sound like a funny name, but there's definitely a method to the madness.
"My musical style doesn't necessarily fit one genre so I had to create my own. I was concentrating on straight up rap when I first started out because I thought that was the thing to do. As I started to grow as an artist I wanted to express more of my own life story and the things that inspired my sound. The name Hood Pop came to me because I'm a fan of so many styles, but namely hip hop, pop and R&B so I thought this would be a good way to combine what I love" - Ekelle
Ekelle is no holds bar with her relatable lyrics. Candidly drawing on her experiences with heartbreak, happiness, race, and sexual orientation she definitely has an anthem for you.
Listeners can expect a range of sounds starting with Gimmie’s dance-rap excellence. Things get a bit more real on “Dropped”, and Why’s R&B vibes, and “LA (Lies)”, and “Broken” veer more to the modern hip hop side, seamlessly balancing the project.
