Toronto’s DJ Charlie B spent the earliest days of his career making his name as a club-rocking DJ, earning himself marquee slots at some of the world’s hottest venues while backing or performing alongside names like Rick Ross, Cardi B, Wiz Khalifa, and DJ Khaled. With his Across the Board album, though, he’s shifted his focus from playing the hits to making sure his city’s homegrown heroes get their due. The project features a wealth of talent both established and still striving, names like Roy Woods, Pressa, Smiley, Duvy, NorthSideBenji, Lil Berete, and Young Smoke—all of whom have at least made waves in Toronto. For having been included on an album that will travel at least as far as the cities Charlie B continues to rock, the MCs deliver some of the most electric verses of their respective catalogs, understanding that opportunities like this only come along as often as the participants ensure they do.
