“Diamond Boyz” is a Leeandre Mysia-produced Canuck hip-hop anthem that was just waiting to happen.
West Coast-based Young Kazh and Mr. ESQ—known together as Kriminal Ties—follow their Lil Windex-assisted slapper “Willy Wonka” with a new posse cut that could be one of the biggest collaborations coming out of Canada this summer.
“Diamond Boyz” features Maestro Fresh Wes, JD Era, Peter Jackson, Merkules, Madchild, and DJ Dow Jones all on the same cut. Definitely a lineup that holds a whole lotta weight and guaranteed to pique interest for the full-project.
The original Kriminal Ties—a six-track EP released in 2018—also featured a pair of huge posse cuts including the “I’m a G” remix which included Merkules, Sticky Fingaz of Onyx, and Method Man of Wu-Tang Clan. Kriminal Ties 2 is set for release in early September 2019.
“Diamond Boyz” is HipHopCanada’s Song of the Day. The single should hit streaming platforms in the near future via Soundproof Studios.
