New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Izzy-S continues his impressive creative output with the release of his brand-new single "Mon Canon" via Universal Music/ Maison Barclay Canada. This marks the second release for Izzy-S since signing to Universal
Music Canada/Maison Barclay Canada, following this year's "Semelles Rouges," which amassed over 144K audio streams and over 185K video views to date.
Produced by DJ Erise (Aya Nakamura, Dadju, Franglish,) "Mon Canon" spotlights Izzy-S's versatility as he leans into his ear-pleasing melodies to take on a contrasting approach from his previous single "Semelles Rouges," as well as most Rap Québ releases. The Saint Michel, Montréal-based artist employs a technique more common in the France rap scene, which tends to prioritize melody and musicality, on "Mon Canon."
The conversational tone of Izzy-S's lyrics brings forth some hyper-aware moments from the artist, who says he has a "heart of stone" before comparing his demeanour to that of Medusa. "Mon Canon" also includes plenty of flex-worthy moments with Izzy likening his icy Rolex watch to a blizzard and rapping about his recent purchases from Gucci, Off-White, and other prominent fashion brands. In the chorus, Izzy turns down a woman's advances in favour of the street life, singing, "Heart as cold as my gun, she wanted my love, but I only speak through my gun."
The song's laidback, summery vibes are represented in the cover artwork with palm trees and vibrant colours, reminiscent of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City's art design.
Between releases, Izzy-S is keeping his skills sharp by sharing freestyles on social media as he preps the release of his upcoming debut studio album in 2023. Additionally, Izzy's beloved Grind & Hustle video series will soon be distributed globally through the Snapchat Discover Show.
