“Backed by Fresh Kils’ rock-heavy guitar production, Noah23 delivers his thoughts with a choppy flow and a somewhat nonchalant demeanour.” – Word Is Bond
Another excellent review of Noah23 x Fresh Kils’ “Million Dollar Deal”, the first single from their upcoming collab album, Tuff Racket.

The test pressings have arrived for Tuff Racket, the upcoming collab album from Noah23 x Fresh Kils. Let’s hope they are awesome enough to pass the meticulous inspection of audio expert Fresh Kils…
“[I]t is an intellectual and artistic interrogation of what it means to succeed on one’s own terms in 2026.” – Mu6ix Cafe
Check out this excellent review of Noah23 x Fresh Kils’ new single, “Million Dollar Deal”, from Mu6ix Cafe…
The first single from Noah23 x Fresh Kils is out now. “Million Dollar Deal” is from their upcoming collaboration album, Tuff Racket.
“Million Dollar Deal” is the lead single off Tuff Racket, the upcoming collaboration album by Canadian hip hop staples Noah23 & producer Fresh Kils. The track is reminiscent of Outkast with its electric guitar, bounce beat, and intelligent triplet flow. The 6/8 time signature also provides the single a unique feel to the flow. With its creativity and unmatched technical prowess, “Million Dollar Deal” proves how powerful a duo these two are. There’s no denying that the boys are coming out the gate extremely strong in preparation for their summer album release on Hand’Solo Records, and this is just the first salvo.
Written and performed by Noah23
Produced by Fresh Kils

“The track has a smooth piano riff, smoky atmosphere with snapping drums and features Epic’s off-kilter flow and solid bars from Inky.” – Word Is Bond
Word Is Bond has provided a quick review of Epic’s “Us (Trevar Fox Remix)” featuring Inky from the new single released by Epic.
It’s Bandcamp Friday so we’re releasing Pasquale’s Specials 2 for pre-order on digital, CD, and cassette. Get the pre-order here.
Out now!
On “Us”, the fourth and final single from Heater in My Truck II, Epic and featured guest Inky (aka Trevar Fox) provide a glimpse into who they are as individuals before claiming “the only people that we can count on is us”. The “us” in this case is not only Epic and Inky but also those old school Canadian hip hop kids that grew up on Rap City in that golden age of Much Music from 1995 to 2009. The downtempo original production from Infinite Potential aka I. Peezy is boom bap heavy on jazzy piano while Trevar Fox’s multi-layered remix sounds like a jazz quartet composed of drums, upright bass, piano and organ. It’s still jazzy like the original but a whole lot funkier, too! And the laidback flows of the two MCs also bring a lot of chill to the vibe. Trevar Fox also directed an accompanying video that has been released with both the original and remix audio.
