But even so, you're right that things in Toronto are still heavily weighted towards whatever is popular stateside when it comes to young people (regardless of origins).
Given the demographics of the city, you'd think stuff like this might hit the mainstream more. (This isn't from Toronto BTW.)

Well ODDLY enough, at this very moment , and for the last 6 months, the RNB Charts have been OWNED by Toronto!! Period!!!!
There have been weeks of late where 7 of the top 8 spots were Weeknd, Drake, and Alessia Cara....
So it has changed as of late!!
AS a DJ who hails from Toronto originally... it is weird to see Toronto be the HOTSPOT for African American music scene.. its even referenced in a lot of songs.... Toronto is a bigger deal here than u seem to realize.... maybe more so in the sports world and the Music world than the red neck '
Murica world!!
