Toronto, ON – July 5, 2021 – 10X10 is Canadian Métis rapper Troy Junker's newest release, produced by Harmon1x. While Junker is based in Toronto and Harmon1x is located in Sudbury, ON, the two have continued to create music together throughout the pandemic via the internet as if they were in person. 10X10 was created out of a feedback email that Harmon1x had sent to Junker for guidance on the beat. Troy loved it so much that he delivered the song back within the same night.

 

When asked about the 10X10, Junker stated, "The beat matched my energy in that moment and the song came to me right away. When that happens, you need to take control of the moment and go to work. What I like about 10X10, is that it's full of experimentation and doesn't sound like anything I've ever worked on. The whole point of the song was to not overthink it and just have fun. It's important to me to remain authentic and to always give 100 per cent in everything. That's the wave."

 

The video was filmed in Toronto by Michael Shankar and the two deliver a visual that complements the warm summertime single. When asked about the video, Shankar mentioned, "We climbed buildings, and hopped barriers! Any day that we get to do that for a music video is a good day."
