Toronto Rapper Dre Anthony Checks in With His Engaging New Single, “Shining”

Over the last decade, Toronto has firmly placed themselves in the conversations when discussing cultural hubs in music. Boasting superstars like Drake, The Weeknd and Justin Beiber, Toronto has also produced underground stalwarts such as River Tiber, Jazz Cartier and plenty more. Looking to place his name among these ranks is native rapper Dre Anthony, who checks into our pages for the first time with his new single, “Shining.”

Kicking the record off with Dre crooning surrounded by eerie melodies, the beat suddenly drops and the tone of the record is firmly established. Showcasing an aggressive, yet not overbearing, cadence, he spends the record displaying a few tools in his bag that have made him an intriguing artist to watch. Most notably, his ability to bend his vocals in many different directions thanks to a Caribbean accent that perfectly compliments most of the directions he chooses to go in. Meshing that with a knack for notable one-liners and his aforementioned cadence structure, Dre does a great job of highlighting his strengths on this record, making for an engaging listen.
