@401WST & Zach Zoya Release “Won’t Put U Thru That”

Published

on

401 WST release the first single and video for “Won’t Put U Thru That” with Zach Zoya from their much anticipated forthcoming EP Our House Volume 2, available Fall 2021 on Kyngdom Records / JN SHPPRD. 401 WST is an electronic and house music duo comprised of world-renowned DJ-artist 4KORNERS (Toronto Raptors official DJ) and producer Ashton Adams , named after the provincial highway that connects their hometowns of Cambridge and Toronto respectively. Through their mutual love of house music and their fascination with its Black culture roots, the duo collaborated with Montreal’s Zach Zoya (7ieme Ciel/Universal Music Canada), a fast-rising star on the Canadian rap and R&B scene, to create a bouncy, dance floor ready ode to real love that is sure to become an anthem this summer. 

“Won’t Put U Thru That is a love song made for the dancefloor that’s mostly about heartbreak and hope, but with a pulse,” explains 4KORNERS about the inspiration behind the new single. “We wanted to make a classic love song by blending the energy of house music from the originators of the genre, paying homage to the godfathers like Frankie Knuckles, Marshall Jefferson, Larry Levan, Inner City and many more, but doing it our way with a modern twist, for the new generation of club and festival kids.” Adds Ashton Adams: “This is also an intentional collaboration of three Black artists coming together to celebrate house music’s Black culture roots and to create a song that everyone can enjoy and sing along to whether you are on the dance floor or driving in your car listening to it on the radio.”  

Citing the origins of house music as their inspiration, 401 WST express their deep love for the unique, innovative, and most of all, pure nature of the music and the Black DJ’s and producers who started it all. Being shut out of the mainstream due to racism, classism and homophobia, the forefathers created their own spaces and sounds, birthing an entire movement in the process. If you fast forward to today, there appears to be a cultural erasure of sorts, where these music forms have become detached from their Black culture roots, and from the communities themselves that birthed the art form. By fusing the essence of what was, with the technology of what is, 401 WST are making House Music Black Again, and composing genuine soulful house music for all who come to lose themselves in it. The captivating video for “Won’t Put U Thru That” was directed by Nukky

Florida’s C Stunna (@cstunna2xx) is turning up the heat; all gas, no breaks, this summer. The acclaimed hip-hop sensation releases his highly anticipated Gangsta Grillz mixtape, Still Stuntin, hosted by none other than the legendary DJ Drama. Still Stuntin emphasizes C Stunna’s nature of flexing, with Drama’s energetic productions, providing a curated sound of high-energy, heavy-hitting tracks. With DJ Drama at the helm, Still Stuntin is a natural evolution and elevation from his previous projects. Check out the project here.

The tape is home to the buzzing single “Curtis Jackson” ft. Skrilla, which generated over 250,000 streams on Spotify and 1.2 million views on YouTube, and “Lose Control,” ft. Real Boston Richey, a bass-heavy slapper that sees the two quite literally losing control and turning up in the city. Standout track “No Pad or Pen” features a standout verse from Luh Tyler, and “We The Ones” boasts an appearance from Wizz Havinn. Amidst all the star power, C Stunna makes sure to put on for his city, recruiting South Florida associates Fatpocket, Jimbo World, T Row and Woodboy Gee for the final track “Freakneak.” 

Still Stuntin isn’t just a regular project —it’s a certified Gangsta Grillz mixtape. The chemistry between Drama and Stunna is clear, and Drama’s hosting of the tape serves as a stamp of approval synonymous with hip-hop excellence. Renowned for his impeccable ear for talent, DJ Drama’s involvement elevates Still Stuntin to a whole new level.

I’ve been waiting to give the world this tape,” C Stunna said. “I know it’s gonna shake the streets up. This tape is also a part of history too, working with Drama! ‘Still Stuntin’ is gonna be one of the best tapes of the year.”

Still Stuntin is C Stunna’s first full-length project of 2024, arriving in the wake of a breakout year for the respected rapper. Last summer, he took the stage at Spotify’s Most Necessary Live concert in Miami. The show was graced with surprise performances by Kodak Black and Nardo Wick. 

Since then, he’s maintained his consistency. C Stunna reached critical acclaim with the release of “Al Roker,” a track that amassed over 2.2 million streams on Spotify and earned him praise from industry tastemakers and peers alike. His fanbase has grown exponentially, with performances at Rolling Loud Miami and Rolling Loud California opening the doors to new fanbases. His momentum only continued to soar with subsequent releases such as “Motion (Remix)” and “Vibin,” further establishing him as one of the most promising talents in the industry.

With boundless ambition and a committed work ethic pushing him forward, it’s just a matter of time before C Stunna completely takes over.
