Latin rhythms and icy flows make for a stellar EP from one of Canada’s sharpest pens.

Guatemalan-Canadian rapper Romeo Don’t Die has been a silent sniper over the past year. While his releases have been sparse between projects, every single he drops proves there’s no ceiling to his wordplay, ear for production, or ability to find the pocket. His new project, Don’t Die I’ll Cry, embodies that to a T. The six-song EP features production from Chanks and Jeff Sanon, alongside guest appearances from DO, The Outcast, Busy Nasa, and Kris The $pirit. Romeo Don’t Die’s pen game is wicked throughout, weaving lyrical tendencies with vulnerable admissions, ambitions, and the economics of hustling without ever compromising his cool or his fly. Don’t Die, I’ll Cry is currently available to purchase on BandCamp.
