In the past few weeks, Roy Wood$’ candidacy to be one of the next big names in Toronto’s hip-hop and R&B scene has taken a big leap. Just a few days ago, the Brampton native released the official versions of “Get You Good” and Drake featured “Drama,” and the two tracks have already gained nearly 2 million combined plays on Soundcloud. Now, the OVO cosigned singer/rapper has shared his highly anticipated debut EP Exis.

“When I came to Toronto, the beats and the things that were around me gave me the inspiration that I can really do this,” said Roy in ourfull interview with him, when we spoke to him earlier this year. “I have people around me who can help me get my sound out better.”With OVO fest kicking off in only 2 days, we won’t be surprised if Wood$ is brought out as a special guest.
