Post-Secondary Album Graphic

“It’s not shocking, given Toronto’s Caribbean – specifically Jamaican – population, that a native of “the 6” can nail the patois, but it is a nice surprise that his first original single is darned good.” – The Guardian August 2015 

 “The talented Ontario artist has more to offer listeners than just a convincing Jamaican accent” – Noisey July 2015

(TORONTO – 09 September 2015) – Toronto’s best kept secret, Lucas DiPasquale has released his latest single “No Talking” featuring Jamaican dancehall heavyweight, Popcaan. The track is available for purchase now and also appears on his debut EP Post-Secondary, out October 9 and available for pre-order via Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company. Post-Secondary was produced by Stephen McGregor (Sean Paul, Bounty Killer) and Mojam (Sam Smith, Emeli Sande) and recorded in Toronto, London (UK) and at the infamous Tuff Gong Studios in Jamaica. The EP features four original tracks plus a special acoustic remix at Tuff Gong. The “No Talking” collaboration was inevitable when DiPasquale’s Popcaan acoustic mash-up became a viral sensation with over 400k+ views and soon caught the attention of the dancehall king. Popcaan loved the mash-up and invited DiPasquale to perform on stage with him at Jamaica’s premiere festival, Dream Weekend (2014). Leading up to the worldwide release of his debut EP Post-Secondary October 9th, DiPasquale has been busy promoting and performing across the UK. He is currently in NYC, introducing his music to tastemakers and new fans stateside. DiPasquale’s previous single “Do It Like” featuring Kardinal Offishall, Stylo G & Konshens made waves at BBC Radio 1Xtra with a stamp of approval from dancehall veteran Seani B and love from Capital Xtra’s Ras Kwame. It was only a matter of time before Lucas followed up with some more heat, this time showcased as an Inbox Fresh on 1Xtra by MistaJam who pressed play on “No Talking” ft Popcaan, the musical bromance that was undeniably blooming between the two, for the first time.   POST_SECONDARY EP TRACKLIST
