COWABUNGA SAW ROCHESTER RECONNECT WITH GRAMMY WINNING OVO SOUND PRODUCER BOI-1DA (DRAKE, KENDRICK LAMAR, RIHANNA) ON HIS SINGLE GRATEFUL, AFTER EXPERIENCING MUCH SUCCESS ON THEIR LAST COLLABORATION PULL UP, A HUGELY POPULAR SONG THAT RECEIVED SOME WARRANTED REMIX TREATMENT FEATURING RAP ICON KARDINAL OFFISHALL AND GRAMMY AWARD NOMINEE FITO BLANKO, AMONG OTHERS.
THIS SUCCESS WAS FOLLOWED BY HIS SINGLE GOOD VIBES, DUBBED AS "ONE OF TORONTO’S SUMMER ANTHEM OF 2017” TO, BALANCE, AN IMMERSIVE NARRATIVE WHERE ROCHESTER GETS PERSONAL BY SHARING THE ROLLER COASTER OF PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCES THAT HE'S HAD TO SUSTAIN THROUGH HIS CAREER.
