City Fidelia: Pay attention to the energy you give out so you have enough to produce yourself.

City Fidelia is a socially conscious rapper that’s always speaking on hardships everyone can relate to. He’s shared the stage with artists like Fabulous, Bow Wow, and A$AP Rocky, and performed at major festivals like Bluesfest and Manifesto. What many don’t know about City is that he has a crazy come up story, that all started when he moved to Toronto. He and his friends would rent out their place and share a small room every weekend, just to help support his music. They now make up the creative collective Ensemble, where their mission is to bring people together and teach that anything is possible through art.

In this interview, City takes us through his upbringing in Ottawa, and how he moved to Toronto to pursue music. We talked about how hard his transition was, and how it gave inspiration to his hit song “Lately.” He tells us what it was like to work with Malik Yusef, Kanye West’s good friend and a member of G.O.O.D Music. For an artist that’s not from a big city, this interview will inspire you.
