The Weeknd

The Weeknd's XO label has just launched HXOUSE, an incubator for Toronto creatives. We met up with two of the founders, La Mar Taylor and Ahmed Ismail to check out the space.

Due to the blockbuster ascents of Drake and the Weeknd, Toronto's local rap scene has turned into a hyper-competitive, prolific, and highly creative environment where young artists are fighting for attention on the world stage.

We caught up with Deen Squad just a few days before the holy month of Ramadan and had them show Noisey’s Giselle Mapp Ottawa through their eyes.
