On the back of his ‘Save Me’ track, soundtracking the new Director X documentary Quiet Minds, Silent Streets, which just premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September to rave reviews, and with his latest single ‘Steam Fish’ causing quite the stir in Toronto’s rap circles, Jamaican Canadian rap artist and songwriter Wave Montega is excited to announce the release of his sophomore project titled CATHARSIS, which arrives on October 21 via 8Ball Records, as the long-awaited and highly anticipated follow-up to his now cult-classic debut project Still Wavy.
“The album manifested itself through some of the hardships and tragedies I went through in the past 4 years,” Montega shares about the inspiration behind the new album. “From losing people in my life to the Bando diaries, to past relationships. I got extremely vulnerable and transparent about how I deal with my pain and how it has affected me. Not having people to talk to during my worst times is what made me vent on these beats, with the music being my personal diary.”
With Catharsis, Wave Montega has created a project that makes for essential listening. A best rap album of the year candidate in Canada hip hop. Catharsis is the perfect origin point for any newfound fan.
From my darkness I was able to make a masterpiece. This is my catharsis”.
