Toronto’s resident star gazers and neo-soul duo bizZarh have teamed up with juvenile beatsmith Harrison to make an intergalactic song, “Rap Game Eat My Shorts”. Looking beyond the amazing name and cover art, you’ll find music that wouldn’t be out of place if it was played at a birthday party on the surface of the moon. Combining Dollar Paris’ and Charli Champ’s slick wordplay delivery with Harrison’s disco funk production, it’s the perfect track to soundtrack your summer barbecue.

The song starts with a short monologue from Eartha Kitt, who defines her rebelliousness and sets the stage for the theme of the song. Far from being Young Jeezy, bizZarh talks about riding around the 6 while looking for a brick in such a tongue-in-cheek way that you can’t help but smile. And in his continuing journey to be one of the most exciting producers in Canada, Harrison delivers a bouncy cadence that is only rebellious in the fact that it doesn’t sound like anything else currently coming out of the city. Cheer for the yute.
