"Let's face the fact; we're all alone if we don't have each other,
I learned that lesson when I lost my Mother"

Who are we? Why are we here? How do we survive?
We all struggle over these questions. Trying to find ourselves, our purpose! In this way we are connected. Everyone has a different path. It's just that all paths are going in the same direction. All of the things that separate us are illusions. Colour, demographics, belief, these are only surface reflections of the true source of our division. The imaginary difference between rich, and poor. There are two worlds, two realities. One will never touch the other and the other will have unlimited access to both. Because in a rich mans reality, for the wrong choice he might face disgrace, embracement, or maybe punishment. But in a poor Mans world, for the wrong choice he will face death, hunger, and imprisonment. All understand this, even if we don't acknowledge it, more then many of us are ready to die for a chance to access an untouchable, unrealistic, reality.

Once again Frankie Payne is back with an emotionally charged hard hitting masterpiece of unprecedented detail, Raining in Toronto. Featuring the soulful sultry Voice of Andreena Mill, Frankie Payne delivers a true description of everyday events happening in the hood and how they effecting us all. Following the huge success of "My Life" (featuring Saukrates) and the ever growing buzz of the Freedom Writers Collective, Frankie Payne wanted to re-introduce this classic tale showcasing his clever, visually inspiring lyrics and legendary story telling ability. Over a powerful and moving musical composition, courtesy of Snaz (Andreena Mill "la la la", French Montana, Dame Grease etc.) and with clever, well though out visual concepts courtesy of Jason Gosbee (Second place winner of the youtube International Film competition, White Collar Criminals, OMG (TV Movie). Frankie Payne takes us on a journey through the ghettos of Toronto, Capturing the emotions, and realities of the people who live and breathe them. Raining in Toronto stands as a metaphor representing the depression, oppression, and hope that can only be understood if experienced.

"One summer day while just chilling on the block a youth from around the way came up to talk to me. He wanted to hale me up. We started talking about the bowy dem, the shootings, the struggle and basically the over all environment of the hood. He was a young shooter. I could tell because of his quick movements and the way his eyes were continually surveying everything.

His eye's betrayed a deep paranoia and the wildness of a desperate lion.

He started telling me that he had no choice but to be a killer out here. He said he had to protect and feed his family and he was prepared to do what ever he had too. He said he was ready to die!

He couldn't have been more then 15, 16 years old! It inspired me to write this song. To address a police force trap in a conundrum simultaneously maintaining and destroying crime. For young kids becoming men in an environment where men that act like children are feared. For those who think fear is respect. For anyone who's lost someone they love
Because they know that no matter what. In back of they're minds where they dare not go. It's always Raining in Toronto."

  • Dam.....

    And I thought this problem was only affecting us down here in the states.

    This track is deep and it lets me know that violence has no borders.

    Much love from the states, we see you T-Dot.
