6IX RISING: Toronto’s Rap Ascendence (pronounced six rising) is a Canadian documentary film about the hip hop culture in Canada.[1] The film was released on November 16, 2017, distributed by Vice Media's online channel Noisey and made in collaboration with Nicolas Girard and Rafael Ruiz for Worship Studio.[2][3]
Background[edit]
The documentary showcases the rising hip hop scene of Toronto, after the blockbuster success of Drake and The Weeknd.[4] The film analyses the attention on how the success of these artists has turned the city's local rap scene into a hyper-competitive, and creative environment where young artists are competing for attention on the world stage. The film was premiered to a limited audience at Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema on the day of release.[5] It also had a limited screening at the Maria A. Shchuka Library on February 9, 2018 and at the Toronto Reference Library on February 28, 2018, which were both presented by Noisey.[6][7] All photo animations for the film were done by Nicolas Girard and Rafael Ruiz for Worship Studio.[8] Some of the topics included in the documentary include Pressa's postponed rise due to legal issues, Friyie getting a lucky break from Floyd Mayweather and how Jimmy Prime reflects on coining the term '6ix' for Toronto.[9][10] It was noted for providing an in-depth look into the Toronto's diverse and competitive hip hop culture scene.[11]
