about

Lyrically, Eat The Rich finds Hero continuing to chronicle the struggles of day to day life beyond the universal need for food, clothing and shelter, although that’s part of it. Based in a city dominated and largely employed by one of the wealthiest families in Canada not particularly known for their acts of charity, he writes what he knows. What he lives. From rising rents to expanding class divisions, and any number of other legitimate concerns that remain challenged by far too few find their place in Hero’s words. Like those grave markers our elders sometimes have sitting in the ground patiently holding their seat until the rent’s due, Hero sings truth to struggle in a way that seems to say: the end is inevitable, so can we just support each other to help make this trip a tad more fulfilling, not just for me and you, but for everyone?”

Crain has also evolved his craft. Sounding less like a curious, first time beatmaker and more like the exploratory, unconventional musician he is. His work on this EP, aided by stronger production and guest appearances from Mxchael Shabazz and Monark, presents a wide variety of instrumentation and voicings that act as the ideal mood enhancer for his counterpart’s message. There are moments of great counterpoint between beats and lyrics and a few contrasting pairings that strike with equal impact. Eat The Rich is a strong sophomore release and one that hints towards even stronger things to come.
