You could say that Toronto rapper and singer Nue has an underground sensibility with global accessibility. He's smashing up parameters, but writing some of the catchiest songs you will hear this year. "It's exciting to be putting out music because I went in a whole direction I'd never gone in before," Nue says. "It was a process that I started during COVID, where I thought I had to have different sounding music. My producer Modmaxx sent me some real guitar loops and I made a song that didn't have drums on it, more of a punk vibe. It was out of my pocket from what I usually do and spurred the whole project."
