I.AM.Unsigned Artist Feature: Unit Live
UNIT LIVE is a suburban hip hop movement contributing to the success of Canadian music. Based out of Burlington, Ontario, their music attempts to bridge the gap between street driven lyrics and everyday life being described as “a unique showcase that stands apart from the rest”.
The group recently released their first video for Gusto, the follow up single to Haywire, from their upcoming promotional album titled The Promo Code. After a long hiatus, The Promo Code marks the return of UNIT LIVE and their highly anticipated third album. The release will be accompanied by a string of live performances throughout the Greater Toronto Area.
Formed in 2002, founding member Ryan Bulluss, better known by fans as Fluent, has seen the groups supporting cast change over the years but never lost sight of the vision that UNIT LIVE represents. Ryan has introduced a new partner on The Promo Code, Chris Ireland aka Maje who has been a long time friend of Ryan’s. The duo have been exchanging lyrics the past 15 years and share a love for their city, evident on Hometown, the fourth track from The Promo Code where Fluent proudly chants “my city proud, country loud, shouting out Canada, it’s what we all about, I rep my flag without a doubt”.
The Promo Code is expected to drop in January 2016 with another lead up video for The People expected in the weeks prior to the release. Hip hop is ready for something different and UNIT LIVE has what it takes to stand apart from the rest.
