28 OCTOBER 2016 (Toronto, ON) – Toronto singer/rapper JAHKOY crosses the border with FOREIGN WATER, his debut EP released today on Def Jam Recordings/Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company.  The EP is highlighted by JAHKOY’s current single “California Heaven” featuring ScHoolboy Q, Cali’s finest, which premiered exclusively with The Fader last month.  Listen to FOREIGN WATER HERE “California Heaven,” produced by Rico Love (Usher, Beyoncé, Lil Wayne), perfectly captures the essence and vibe of the Golden State with JAHKOY’s smooth vocals and ScHoolboy Q’s racy verse.  FOREIGN WATER features additional powerhouse production by Boi-1da, Yung Berg, Pop & Oak and more. JAHKOY proved to be a dominant presence during this past summer’s festival season, with rousing performances at Lollapalooza, Wireless Festival UK, Billboard Hot 100 Fest, Firefly Festival,  a tour with the band The Neighbourhood and more.  Most recently, JAHKOY played to a sold out crowd at the legendary Apollo Theater for their cafe series, plus a visit to Miami to perform at REVOLT Music Conference. Over the past year, JAHKOY has been buzzing underground as the next big artist to emerge from Toronto.  With tracks such as “Still In Love,” “Hold Your Hand,” and “Odd Future,” he garnered coverage from the lion’s share of media outlets including The Fader, Pitchfork, Complex, Mass Appeal, and Billboard, along with spins from Drake, Pharrell and Zane Lowe on their worldwide-streaming Beats 1 radio shows.
