Juice WRLD and Boi-1da bring RapCaviar Live back to Toronto

If there’s one corporate giant with more power to bring top-tier rising rappers to Toronto than cannabis companies, it’s Spotify. More specifically, it’s Spotify’s always-updating, 10-million-follower-boasting RapCaviar playlist, still one of the late-decade’s only proven star-makers. Last year, the RapCaviar Live tour brought Lil Uzi Vert and Playboi Carti, as well as surprise guests like Tory Lanez, to a very packed, very young audience at Rebel. It must have gone well, because the tour will be back on October 29.

Only two acts have been announced so far for the Toronto leg – Juice WRLD and Boi-1da – but they show the tour’s ability to both spotlight regional favourites and keep its finger on the pulse of what the kids are listening to. For the latter, that mostly means hip-hop that sounds like Blink-182. Seriously, listen to 19-year-old emo rapper Juice WRLD’s viral hit Lucid Dreams and imagine it sung by Tom DeLonge. Now try not to hear it that way.

Former NOW Magazine cover star Boi-1da is a pleasant surprise choice for local support. The superstar producer has his fingerprints on many of the songs that appear on RapCaviar – from Drake to Eminem to A$AP Rocky – but rarely does he get the spotlight to himself. Still, it’s hard to imagine he’ll be the only buzzy Toronto hip-hop star gracing the Rebel stage at this one, whether they’re announced or not. 

October 29 at Rebel (11 Polson), doors 7 pm, all ages. $65-$100. On sale October 5. ticketmaster.ca.
