Biography
Toronto beatmaker Young Clancy pairs up with ex-best-kept-secret Clairmont the Second on a joyous new single called “Death”!! Marked by an undeniable Clancy beat and Clairmont’s flawless, triumphant verse, “Death” soars for every one of its mere seventy-two seconds. Produced by Young Clancy in his basement over lockdown – “to create around the times, rather than for the times” – this remote collaboration features two of the city’s ascending talents resonating at a rare harmonic level, with Clairmont as on his game as ever (“I had a bad week, but still look gorgeous”), and Clancy “doing the bringing cheddar dance” in lockstep. “Death” showcases Clancy’s lithe production touch, flashing a genre-fluent ability to corral any sound, and inspire a visionary rapper like he does here. "I met Clairmont a few years back at Bass Camp in Montreal and he was already so good then,” Clancy says. “And then the leaps forward he's taken with each new project has been amazing to watch. Very grateful to have worked with him on this." A sonic exploration in brevity, laden with low end and melody, thunderstorms and juice! “Death” distills Young Clancy’s distinct sound, layered with lasers but with space enough left for heavy doses of both melancholy and hope/hype, multiplied by Clairmont the Second. This is Young Clancy’s input on that contested “Toronto Sound” – one that pulses with community, and the notion that in collaboration we lift each other way up.
