Tyrique floats over the song and finds pockets to insert his witty wordplay, rapping about time slowing down as he chats with a girl at a party.

ABOUT TYRIQUEORDIE:
Tyrique Clarke, known professionally as TyriqueOrDie, is a Toronto-based artist, performer, and rising star in the increasingly popular intersection of rap and electronic music. Raised in the Galloway housing projects, TyriqueOrDie’s world began to expand after immersing himself in the local rave scene. Shaped by rave culture and foundational textures of hip hop, his journey began with consistent exploration across genres. Sonically, TyriqueOrDie pushes boundaries by embedding the city of Toronto’s subcultures and experimental nature into every track, as demonstrated with his 2022 release “Toronto Funhouse,” which solidified itself as a city-wide anthem. Backed by his DJ friends and organic word of mouth, what started as a regional party anthem snowballed into something that connected far beyond the city it was named after. From local recording studios to developing tracks in dance hubs such as Miami, NYC, and LA, today TyriqueOrDie’s sound and vision has sharpened, with D&B, Hip Hop and electronic anchoring its core.
Citing inspirational luminaries such as Azealia Banks and the hardcore essence of early Travis Scott, TyriqueOrDie wants his music to soundtrack the best nights of your life. At his core, being a performer is where he truly shines. His high-energy and dynamic DIY performances cemented his status as an underground stalwart. Together with DJ and producer ACE, and the Toronto Hardcore collective, their performances have broken a mold in Toronto, introducing a new era of experimental live shows. Among many unforgettable nights, their infamous 2022 Christie Pitts rave is often cited as a cultural turning point.
