21 NOVEMBER 2025 (TORONTO, ON) – Rising electronic/hip-hop artist and vocalist to watch, party-starter TyriqueOrDie launches his introspective new single “breathe” today via Universal Music Canada.

Quickly becoming one of hottest young artists at the intersection of rap and dance, TyriqueOrDie refuses to slow down, sharing “breathe” today as the follow-up to his latest solo single “Ur Not Invited.” Ty’s buttery-smooth flow takes centre-stage, backed by a low-slung rhythm and a groovy bassline that permeates throughout the track.

About the new release, Ty says, “The city was driving me a bit crazy, so I went and stayed with some friends out in the mountains of British Columbia for a while. This song came from one of the sessions I did out there.”

“breathe” is produced by NOT UR MOOD. It arrives as momentum behind TyriqueOrDie’s music hits a new high with his bradeazy viral collaborative track “Up Down” reaching #1 on BeatPort’s Bass House charts and nearing 4M streams on Spotify alone. The duo released a follow-up last week titled “Make It Work.”

Tyrique continues to make noise globally as a rapper and vocalist to watch, earning support from BAMBII, Fisher, Aluna, Acraze, and many more. His single “U Know How Dis Go” was named the “perfect summer vibe” by CBC Music.

One of the organizers of Toronto Hardcore, Tyrique has earned praise from the likes of i-D and DJ Mag for his role in revitalizing the underground scene in Toronto with peace, love, unity, respect, and responsibility at the forefront of his mission.

Stay tuned for more new music coming soon from TyriqueOrDie.

ABOUT TYRIQUEORDIE:

Tyrique Clarke, known professionally as TyriqueOrDie, is a Toronto-based artist, performer, and rising star in the increasingly popular intersection of rap and electronic music. Raised in the Galloway housing projects, TyriqueOrDie’s world began to expand after immersing himself in the local rave scene. Shaped by rave culture and foundational textures of hip hop, his journey began with consistent exploration across genres. Sonically, TyriqueOrDie pushes boundaries by embedding the city of Toronto’s subcultures and experimental nature into every track, as demonstrated with his 2022 release “Toronto Funhouse,” which solidified itself as a city-wide anthem. Backed by his DJ friends and organic word of mouth, what started as a regional party anthem snowballed into something that connected far beyond the city it was named after. From local recording studios to developing tracks in dance hubs such as Miami, NYC, and LA, today TyriqueOrDie’s sound and vision has sharpened, with D&B, Hip Hop and electronic anchoring its core.

Citing inspirational luminaries such as Azealia Banks and the hardcore essence of early Travis Scott, TyriqueOrDie wants his music to soundtrack the best nights of your life. At his core, being a performer is where he truly shines. His high-energy and dynamic DIY performances cemented his status as an underground stalwart. Together with DJ and producer ACE, and the Toronto Hardcore collective, their performances have broken a mold in Toronto, introducing a new era of experimental live shows. Among many unforgettable nights, their infamous 2022 Christie Pitts rave is often cited as a cultural turning point.
