Elliott Wilson Banned from Drake’s Turf, How a Rap Feud Turned Toronto into No-Fly Zone

Elliott Wilson once enjoyed a strong bond with Drake, interviewing the rap icon for his CRWN series in 2013 and again for Rap Radar in 2019. The latter remains one of Drake’s most comprehensive interviews to date. However, Wilson’s public critiques during Drake’s feud with Kendrick Lamar have caused a major rift, resulting in Drake placing Wilson on his no-fly list for Toronto. Wilson recently discussed this tension during an appearance on BagFuel.

Acknowledging the ban, Wilson expressed understanding, stating, “This is his country. It should be respected, right?” He noted Drake’s dominance in Canadian hip-hop, a reality he witnessed from the first OVO Fest. Recalling the event where Drake brought out JAY-Z and Eminem, Wilson recognized the significant shift in the hip-hop landscape. “This is big,” he admitted, underscoring why he avoids Toronto now.

Despite not fearing for his safety, Wilson emphasized respecting Drake’s territory. He also highlighted the potential dangers posed by obsessive fans, remarking, “They thirsty and crazy. This Trumpian type era of n**gas. I don’t want that cornball sh*t.”

Wilson has previously addressed his fallout with Drake, including an instance where the rapper unfollowed him on social media after a critique of “The Heart Part 6.” During a Bigger Picture podcast appearance, Wilson lamented the deteriorated relationship, saying, “I got my emotions about it. But look it’s hard… That’s my guy, I respect him.”

As the dust settles, fans hope Wilson and Drake can reconcile and mend their fractured friendship.

The tune of “A Song for My Friends” is a toast, and it’s clear what the band wants. A party for the people who have been there since the beginning, the fans who keep coming back, and the nights that artists will never forget that remind them why they fell in love with music in the first place.

Michael Soul hides from being open with new release “Hiding”

Michael Soul’s new single, “Hiding,” is a dark, hypnotic electronic track that takes listeners to a private place in their minds where they are alone, thinking, and feeling upset. “Hiding” was written when the author was very lonely. Michael Soul turns days of being alone, when silence seemed to last forever, and connection seemed impossible, into an immersive sound.

Andrea Mastroiacovo’s polished work makes the single even better, clarifying and deepening the song’s dark mood. The production carefully reflects that emotional weight with simple textures and dark electronic sounds that make you feel like you’re alone with your thoughts.

“Hiding” is a song about feeling alone, scared, and wanting to hide from being open. It asks questions that are quiet but sharp, like why do we hide what we feel? How does fear ruin love? And can we stop going in circles of misunderstanding and emotional distance? These echoes linger long after the track ends, prolonging the sound.
