Toronto-based rapper and singerย Nueย releases the surefire hit singleย “Demon Child”ย from his forthcoming full length albumย Playgroundย due in 2022 onย Wax Records and Republic Records (UMG Worldwide).ย The songโs title and subject matter has nothing to do with Nue being persistently tormenting, but rather is about an artist utilizing a creative outlet like music to express himself in a raw and uncompromising way, over some fluttering guitar strums and more memorable beats.
โMy life inspired the song. It’s just really, really honest. I was going through a lot at the time with relationships,” explains Nue,ย the former first and only Canadian artist to sign with 300 Entertainment (Migos, Young Thug),ย who has collaborated with Pressa and toured with Fetty Wap. “It’sย really proud and unapologetic. I felt very misunderstood and I just didnโt really care about opinions. I more so was embracing things said or thought about me, even if not true. Unintentionally I think I was trying to just let it all out there and give the listener comfort in my unfiltered self-deprecation.โย Despiteย having only released one album prior, Nue has already been featured onย XXLโs โ15 New Artists You Should Knowโ, Complex / Pigeon and Planesโ โ13 Rising Artists You Should Knowโ, withย Paper Magย ย dubbing him โthe Toronto rapper to keep your radar on”.
