Toronto artist F.I.L.A. is the latest addition to the next generation of MCs rising in the city. His new single “Numbers” is produced by King C. The song is packed with street-honed flows over crispy snares that will have listeners tapped in and focusing on what is being said in the song. Definitely looking forward to seeing more from him.

There isn’t much on the internet about him, but the song is definitely a heater and was recently premiered on BBC Radio 1 by UK Rap gatekeeper Charlie Sloth. Listen below:
