“It’s refreshing to see emcees broaden the subject matter without sounding forced or cliche” – The Word Is Bond
“The Canadian rapper evokes a real old school New York vibe in his music.” – On The Come Up TV
“Composed rhymes, smooth soul and artistic direction, Special’s (music) is something much like his name” – Jack O’Neill, Writer
“He has a special something, amazing flow with a tone that is so just so Hip-Hop.” – Hip hop Mafia
“…definitely stands out from the rest of the pack.” – Teckzilla, Writer
“…you get the vibe straight away that he’s more Timbaland boots and baggy jeans than snapbacks and skinny jeans, with its real authentic Hip-Hop boom bap feel. The rapping is tight as are the concepts but above all his flow and vocal tone are just so likeable.” – Da Real Biz -

About Special:
Striving to make it in Hip-Hop, where the competition is thick and the grind is endless, up and coming artist Special has constructed his own lane with the success of reaching 1 million hits on YouTube with his social media influenced song T-Shirt Time. The thriving success of this old school lyricist has garnered critical acclaim across the globe with commercial projects released in Germany and Italy. Special always approaches his verses and being in the lab with a hip hop mentality, and a sense of integrity. Honing his skills among the Hip-Hop elite and newcomers has given Special the confidence to create a diverse body of work thus far, working with hip-hop vets like Craig G (Juice Crew), El Da Sensei (The Artifacts) and Sadat X (Brand Nubian) to say the least.
