“Not a lot of musicians can claim to have the attention of the biggest music names in their country, or have toured with one of the most successful acts of all time and have released an album all before the age of 23. But Canadian artist Pressa is one of the few that would fit the description.” – Complex
“Pressa’s come a long way from his native of Driftwood and is approaching the business and art of music making like a seasoned veteran.” – Vice
The Video:
Today, Pressa premiered the official music video for “Attachments” feat. Taliban Glizzy on YouTube WATCH HERE. As an upcoming rapper from the D.C. area, Taliban Glizzy proves he may be following his brother Shy Glizzy’s footsteps, but stands on his own, rounding out “Attachments” with his verse.
The track juxtaposes eerie, moody chords with street lyrics and a trap drum beat, which inspired the director, Michael Vincent, to take a cinematic approach to the video. Vincent is an American photographer, filmmaker, and director who has photographed over 10,000 magazine covers featured throughout various publications such as Maxim, Esquire, GQ, and more. Shot in L.A., the video for “Attachments” chronicles a fictional tale of an informant’s demise. Pressa and Taliban Glizzy flex their acting muscles, taking us on a journey and bringing viewers along for the ride.
“Attachments” is featured on Pressa’s Gardner Express EP, released December 2020. Since its release, the EP has garnered love from Hip Hop vets and new school artists alike, including DJ Whoo Kid, Giggs, Young Thug and DJ Akademiks. The EP captured media attention all over the world, with Canadian outlets like, The Darcc and Complex CA, but also U.S. outlets like Adam22’s No Jumper Podcast and Lyrical Lemonade, and GRM Daily in the U.K. To date, the EP has accrued nearly 26M combined streams and Pressa’s fan base continues to grow worldwide.

Pressa captured rap fans’ attention in Canada and the U.K. by garnering millions of YouTube views for 2016’s “Wass Gang,” landed on a tour with Drake, and emerged as a local cultural sensation. Pressa made his mark with the inimitable mix of his street-oriented lyrics, melodic hooks and high-pitched voice, making him a fixture in the Toronto hip-hop scene.
Recognized for an impressive list of collaborations (Murda Beatz, UK hip-hop don, Giggs, Lil Uzi Vert) over the years, the Canadian rapper continued his hot streak in 2020 with features from Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow, Jackboy, Flipp Dinero and more. Aligned with the new crop of artists dubbed “ones to watch,” Pressa is on track in his journey to becoming a household name.
No stranger to releasing full bodies of work with mixtapes such as, Press Machine, Press A Brick, and Prestige, 2020 was a prime display of Pressa’s growth and versatility as an artist, culminating with the release of his EP, Gardner Express. The EP features “OTM,” “96 Freestyle,” and “Head Tap” ft. Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow, which resulted in coverage from media juggernauts like Complex, a global Apple Music Beats 1 premiere with Ebro Darden, and over 10.5M worldwide global streams, together to date.
Pressa is applying a renewed vigor to his music and collaborating with likeminded writers, producers and artists on the rise. Inspired by the diverse streets of Toronto and a multicultural Jamaican/Filipino upbringing, Pressa is eager to share his passion and unique music style with the world.
