In an era of musical maximalism, the new collaborative EP from two of Canada’s rising talents, Marico The Shogun and JohnG, is a testament to the power of brevity. Their new project, “In Due Time,” a concise two-track offering, was released today, showcasing a potent synergy between the Nova Scotian emcee and the Ontario-based producer.
A Meeting of Minds from North of the Border
“In Due Time” finds Marico The Shogun, an artist hailing from the burgeoning hip-hop scene of Nova Scotia, in top form. His lyrical prowess is laid over a canvas of expertly crafted beats by JohnG Beats, a producer known for his meticulous and soulful soundscapes. The project is a focused exploration of hip-hop’s core elements: compelling rhymes and infectious beats. While the EP consists of only two songs, the collaboration speaks to a deeper artistic connection, one that is both deliberate and impactful.
The release is a significant moment for both artists. For Marico The Shogun, it is an opportunity to introduce his distinct voice to a wider audience. For JohnG, it is a chance to solidify his reputation as a go-to producer for artists looking for a sound that is both classic and contemporary. “In Due Time” is more than just a fleeting collaboration; it is a statement of intent from two artists who are poised to make their mark on the Canadian and international music scenes. The project’s title itself suggests a quiet confidence, a belief that their moment is arriving, not with a bang, but with the quiet assurance of a perfectly crafted verse and a beat that resonates long after the music stops.
