Teenaged Toronto-based rap phenomenon Clairmont The Second, whose Quest for Milk and Honey album, was recently voted one of the top 25 Canadian albums of 2016 (#17), by CBC Music, has been spreading his unique rap stylings across North America, since January 31st, as part of the No Warm Up tour, with SonReal. As a prelude to the forthcoming release of new music and visuals, with new label partner, Black Box Music (Shad, Classified, SonReal), they re-issued and co-directed "A Declaration,"
A Declaration is one of those cinematic must-see music videos, that plays out more like a short film than a music video and contains a clever build-up and killer climax (literally). Highly respected on the Toronto music scene, as a prolific one man, music-and-multi-media army, who shoots and edits his own video content, while writing, producing and mixing his own work, this song and video, leave no question as to where the future of Canadian rap creativity and resourcefulness lies. When he raps "me on a mic, that’s a problem” on this buzz track, he really means it.
