06 April 2018 (Toronto, ON) — Canada has never been hotter…
Multiplatinum-certified Academy® Award-nominated and GRAMMY® Award-winning rapper, songwriter, and producer BELLY extends his current hot streak with yet another new song, “Maintain” [feat. NAV].
It’s available HERE via XO/Roc Nation/Republic Records/Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company.
This time, he joins forces with fellow Canadian force to be reckoned with and XO labelmate NAV. When speaking about the collaboration, BELLY states, "We're all dealing with the same things on different levels. This song is a celebration of making it through". It’s a scorching, smoked-out, and show-stopping team up that unites two of hip-hop’s brightest young stars on one blockbuster banger. Be on the lookout for the video!
“Maintain” arrives on the heels of “4 Days” [feat. YG]. Less than two weeks since release, and it’s already approaching the 2-million-mark on Spotify. Additionally, it earned widespread acclaim and amped up anticipation for his forthcoming new project—Midnight Zone—due out later this year. “Man Listen,” previously released via XO/Roc Nation/Republic Records last year will also be on the track list.
BELLY packs the punchiest flow and wildest wordplay north of the border. Carving out a devout underground following in addition to making a name for himself as a songwriter, he landed a RIAA Platinum-certified smash with “Might Not” [feat. The Weeknd] from his 2015 project Up For Days. 2016’s Another Day In Paradise followed, boasting cameos from the likes of Travis Scott, Kehlani, B-Real, and Lil Wayne. Inzombia placed hip-hop in a state of shock and awe with the hit “Frozen Water” [feat. Future] as well as collaborations with heavy hitters such as Young Thug, Jadakiss, Ty Dolla $ign, and more. Most recently, he maintained that cognizance on 2017’s tape Mumble Rap. Executive produced by Boi-1da, BELLY, and Dannyboystyles, the project included Pusha T harking back to the art of spitting, slyly name-checking modern “Mumble Rap” as it unseats the movement with classic charisma and rambunctious rhymes and pays homage to the past, while moving ahead at lightspeed. His influence extends beyond his own discography though. Belly co-authored Beyonce’s “6 Inch” featuring The Weeknd, which is taken from the acclaimed visual album Lemonade. He also co-wrote six tracks from the chart-dominating triple-platinum 2015 epic, Beauty Behind The Madness, including “Earned It (Fifty Shades of Grey)”, receiving an Academy® Award nod for “Best Original Song” and notching the GRAMMY® Award for “Best R&B Performance.” Additionally, he co-wrote on The Weekend’s GRAMMY® Award-winning Starboy in 2016. 2017 saw him contribute a standout 24 bar “Interlude” to DJ Khaled’s blockbuster Grateful before joining G-Eazy’s powerhouse remix of “No Limit” as a co-writer alongside A$AP Rocky, French Montana, and Juicy J.
