Jazz Cartier Premieres “Switch” Video

“There’s a renaissance happening in Toronto right now. The city is more alive than ever.” This from Jazz Cartier, the Toronto-via-everywhere rapper. Cartier’s a member of the city’s Get Home Safe crew and sits nicely among young spearheaders from other capitals: he’s pretty as A$AP, gnarly as Travi$, could yawp against Thug in a contest. The above dual video for “Switch” and “The Downtown Cliche”—Cartier says the songs were recorded a day apart—is a portrait of dude as well as his city: all freeway, soccer fields, girls with platinum hair.
