TORONTO-BASED ALTERNATIVE RAP NEWCOMER DICHOTOMI IMAGINES A BETTER FUTURE ON INFECTIOUS NEW SINGLE ‘STF 17’
Introducing Toronto-based alternative rap newcomer dichotomi with their brand new single titled ‘STF 17’. The soulful and infectious lo-fi rap track comes just in time to take over our summer playlists, and is the lead single for dichotomi’s upcoming debut EP that is set for release later this year. ‘STF 17’ is the anticipated follow-up to last year’s fan-favourite ‘plush’, which was a massive radio hit with the likes of CBC Music in Toronto, and Wave Of The Bay in Florida, to mention a few.
Produced by fellow Toronto musician Frizzy Astro, ‘STF 17’ is a catchy melodic rap offering, which sees dichotomi – who wrote the song when they were sick during the pandemic and couldn’t be outside – in a very hopeful mood, as they imagine better times and fantasize about being able to enjoy summer time in Toronto once again. Over lush synth keys and sparse lo-fi instrumentation, dichotomi showcases their infectious flow, clever lyricism, and carefree energy, to great effect.
Speaking about the inspiration behind ‘STF 17’, dichotomi says, “It was the first pandemic winter, and I was really sick… I couldn’t go outside because the weather, and I had no energy or motivation to make life inside more enjoyable because of the mental and physical effects of the pandemic. At a real low point, I started fantasizing about summers in Toronto and told myself that ‘everything will be better in the summer’ – as soon as I said it aloud, I felt compelled to write a song on that theme.
The track quickly took a political lean as I began to ruminate on the social, political, and economic forces that forced me into such a fragile position in the first place. ‘STF 17’ is most definitely a critique of our capitalist society, but with the added goal of offering some levity — allowing us to hope for a more equitable future. Be critical, be angry, be sad, but don’t let the state of this world keep you from turning your face to the sun every chance you get, and tirelessly seek the tiniest moments of joy”.
Highly recommended if you like the sounds of Noname, Tierra Whack or Chance The Rapper, dichotomi is for listeners that like to discover new things every time you listen to a track – they are for fans of lyricism, authenticity and exploring new sounds. Born in Florida and now living in Toronto, dichotomi burst onto the scene in 2019 with resounding music, led by good vibes and wholesome themes that are intended to inspire hope and validate their listeners.

Embracing Positivity: A Journey to Inspire and Uplift
Hello everyone! My name is Craig, though you might recognize me in the digital world as Mr. Positivity, or simply Ticket. I am the proud representative of the Positivity Our Way brand, a movement committed to spreading positive messages and uplifting individuals across the globe. Our mission is to inspire people to embrace positivity in their own unique ways.
My journey toward this mission began as a form of self-expression, a way to rise above the judgments of those who chose not to understand me. Through Positivity Our Way, I hope to inspire others to find their own path to positivity, to encourage them to see the bright side of life even amid challenges.
One of my passions is marketing, and I love creating engaging content, especially reels, that can capture the essence of positivity. Recently, I had the pleasure of collaborating with a talented individual from Houston, Texas, known as Just Mac. Together, we ventured to Dallas, Texas, to create some incredible reels. We are thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of our YouTube channel, The Boundless Bros. Our aim with this channel is simple: to make fun great again while promoting a positive narrative that resonates with audiences everywhere.
Life’s challenges are real and ongoing. As I navigate the waters of unemployment after nearly 12 years in a job that left me mentally drained and unhappy, I am now in a position where I am ready to embrace life to the fullest. This new chapter with Positivity Our Way is an opportunity beyond my wildest dreams, and I am ready to seize it with all my heart.
If you share a passion for spreading positivity and are interested in collaboration, I would love to connect with you!
