With an inherent and candid ability to break down the barrier between performer and audience while “leading the vanguard of East Coast hip hop” (Chronicle Herald), Classified is one of Canada’s most respected and successful rap artists and producers. His self-titled 2013 release debuted at No. 1 on the Canadian Nielsen Soundscan Chart, has sold over 1 million singles and is certified 2x Platinum. Additionally, the album boasts two Top 10 singles including the 5x Platinum “Inner Ninja” featuring David Myles and the Platinum certified “3 Foot Tall”.

The Nova Scotia native wrapped his highly-praised, national headlining Canadian Classic Tour in the fall of 2018, which saw him take over venues across the country with special guests and Canadian hip hop legends Choclair and Maestro Fresh Wes, performing tracks old and new for legions of fans. Tomorrow Could Be The Day Things Change (released October 2018) marked Classified’s first full-length release in two years, covering topics steeped in cultural relevance and delivering the innovative and genuine narrative fans expect from one of the country’s most respected rappers.
