Fils-Aimé s Three Little Words completes a trilogy of albums celebrating the history of Black-American music, while Tobi s Elements Vol. 1 fuses hip-hop, jazz, pop and R&B.
Other Polaris-nominated albums include two efforts from Toronto rappers Cadence Weapon s Parallel World and DijahSB s Head Above the Waters as well as the debut album of Mustafa, When Smoke Rises, named in honour of his friend Smoke Dawg, a local rap artist who was killed in a 2018 shooting.
The burgeoning Indigenous music scene is also represented with Bleached Waves by Zoon, a project from Hamilton-based First Nations musician Daniel Monkman, and Theory of Ice, a seething reflection on politics and the environment from Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, a member of Alderville First Nation.
