Several Internet users recall that <strong>MK<\/strong> could have dominated the scene if he had not experienced legal wrangling, underlining his potential for ''<strong>best of his generation<\/strong>''. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Others already demand a mixtape, proof of the expectation around his future projects. He continues to establish himself as a rising figure in local rap, able to mobilize a loyal community around his projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of the three other videos he shared on his YouTube channel, the least watched video still has over 260,000 views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Directed by <strong>Badazz<\/strong>, the clip highlights the urban atmosphere of Montreal, faithful to the identity of <strong>MK<\/strong>. The rapper delivers a personal text, evoking his journey, his trials and his attachment to the city. His authenticity and connection with the reality of Montreal are an essential part of his artistic signature, highly appreciated by a young and committed audience. Moreover, this approach is not limited to the neighbourhood it represents, reaching a wide range of listeners in Montreal and even internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Perspectives<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With <em>MTL<\/em>, <strong>MK<\/strong> confirms its desire to establish itself as a major player in Montreal rap. His community, very active on social networks, is now waiting for the next step: a mixtape or a complete project that would definitely establish its place on the local scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-small-font-size is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf he wasn\u2019t going to jail ncp, he would be a top dawg live, c the best of his generation\u201d \u2013 comment by fan on YouTube<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The return of <strong>MK <\/strong>is therefore an event to follow closely for all Quebec rap fans and observers of the Montreal urban scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2b6cb315554c7db1f89d76c1a825f307 wp-block-paragraph\">You can follow the career development at <strong>MK<\/strong> on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/intl-fr\/artist\/7HtuJMPqa880l1kMWmROGU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spotify<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A rising figure in local rap, able to mobilize a community...<\/p>","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":3860,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[208],"tags":[55,670,678,606,1128,1262,201],"class_list":["post-3856","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-quebec","tag-entertainment","tag-hip-hop","tag-journal","tag-magazine-hip-hop","tag-media","tag-mk","tag-montreal"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.magazinehiphop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3856","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.magazinehiphop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.magazinehiphop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.magazinehiphop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/27"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.magazinehiphop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3856"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.magazinehiphop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3856\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4555,"href":"https:\/\/www.magazinehiphop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3856\/revisions\/4555"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.magazinehiphop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3860"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.magazinehiphop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3856"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.magazinehiphop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3856"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.magazinehiphop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3856"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
