K. Forest on overthinking, working with Travis Scott, and taking risks

This week we talked to rising Toronto R&B artist K. Forest. He's been releasing tracks since 2015, and a year later he was the top Toronto artist on the scene. His song Guidance, with nearly a million plays on Soundcloud, inspired Travis Scott to do his own cover and put it on his album Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight. Forest has an upcoming Canadian tour lined up this fall, make sure you get your tickets!

In this interview, we talked about how Travis Scott heard of him, why he continues to experiment with different sounds, and why he appreciates people who will take the greyhound for him. Play the podcast to hear more.

Acoustic Conversation series takes an in-depth look at the development of the hip hop scene in Toronto and combines live performance. Next event is Sept 9 with Maestro Fresh Wes.

There’s also a photo exhibit happening at McMichael that goes until October. It explores the evolution and longevity of Hip-Hop and specifically Canadian hip-hop. The galley is open 7 days a week and there’s even an art bus that takes you from downtown. Check out all the info at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection website.
