    The Toronto Accent, Asian DJs playing Dancehall & Discussing if "Wah Gwan Delilah" is Minstrelsy

    On this collaborative episode of Borough Sound x On A Wave ( @djnaturalwav ) DJ Zar and DJ Natural Wav have a healthy and critical dialogue around the implications of the "Toronto Man" caricature, content creators normalizing a type of Toronto accent, "Wah Gwan Delilah" and Drake's role in pushing a particular cultural narrative, and many more topics! We also touch on the growing popularity of Asian DJs in Toronto being booked for dancehall/reggae sets over Caribbean DJs, and how to go about participating in a culture without exploiting/mocking it. A must watch episode!
