🔥 Real Talk of the North (Toronto) is back! In this episode, $henTakeOver sits down with Pierre Billionaire — a Toronto-based melodic rapper with a real story, real ambition, and real hunger. From Western Road / Eglinton / 401 sides, to living on his own at 15, to music as therapy, to bouncing back from the lowest moments — Pierre breaks down how he became the artist (and the man) he is today. We talk Toronto music politics, melodic motivation rap, industry realities, jail changing mindset, manifestation, and why his song “Golden” is the most slept-on track right now.

🎙️ EP.9 - Real Talk Of The North - Pierre Billionaire - TORONTO
RIP Lil D… those early days shooting his videos, photos, digital art — that’s where the mindset came from. Everyone around me was focused on one thing: “get to the money.”💰🏃‍♂️ We built our own scene. Even watching Killy jump on couches at house parties pushing Kilimanjaro — that’s when I knew: if you really love your craft, the results show.💯 Is that ambition? Or just the hunger it takes to make it?🤕 This is Real Talk of the North – Toronto. No filters.

🎬 OUT NOW - Everyone around me was focused on one thing: “get to the money.”💰🏃‍♂️
Welcome to Real Talk of the North — powered by WeSeeHipHop. 🇨🇦 Host ShenTakeOver sits down for a raw, unfiltered conversation about the real foundations of the GTA underground — from Brampton warehouse parties and early videography, to booking shows, pushing artists, and surviving when there was no platform, no labels, and no safety net. In this episode, we break down how the underground scene was really built — before the industry paid attention. From booking Pressa during his earliest tour days, navigating police shutdowns, and working alongside names like Houdini (RIP), Top5, Yung Bino, and others — this is a firsthand account of what it took to make noise in Toronto, Brampton, Mississauga, and beyond. This conversation dives into music, hustle, leadership, sacrifice, and survival, touching everything from house party culture, videography, freestyling, touring, and industry politics, to why so many artists quit — and why a few kept going. What’s inside 👇 • 🧭 Origins: Brampton come-up, warehouse parties, and creating platforms from nothing • 🎥 Before the Music: Videography, visuals, and building artists when no one would book them • 🎤 Pressa Early Days: First tours, police pressure, and proving the industry wrong • 🕊️ Houdini (RIP): Early movement, Toronto energy, and lost talent • 🚧 No Platform Era: Why artists were labeled “delinquents” instead of investments • 🎶 From Camera to Mic: First studio sessions, freestyling, and finding a sound • 🔥 Live Performance: Crowd energy, standing on speakers, real stage presence • 💰 Big Money Mindset: Sacrifice, funding projects, and putting the scene before self • 🌆 Toronto vs Brampton: Culture differences and why unity still hasn’t happened • 🧠 Leadership Talk: What’s missing from the GTA scene — and who needs to step up • 🎙️ Games + Performances: CC Layup, Big Money, Rapid Fire & Fact or Cap This is not industry talk. This is street-level history, told by someone who lived it. #RealTalkOfTheNorth #WeSeeHipHop #weshhtv #TorontoHipHop #GTA #CanadianHipHop #Pressa #Houdini #ShenTakeOver Real Talk of the North documents Canadian hip-hop culture as it really is — the wins, the losses, and the stories that don’t make headlines. 00:00 Intro 02:10 Brampton house parties & early promotion 06:45 Linking with Charles & booking gigs 10:30 Pressa early tour days 15:40 Police pressure & venue shutdowns 20:10 Houdini & the Toronto movement (RIP) 25:30 Videography before music 31:00 First studio session 36:45 Freestyling & creative process 42:10 CC Layup performance 47:30 Big Money performance 53:00 Touring stories & sacrifice 58:20 Toronto vs Brampton culture 1:04:30 Leadership & industry talk 1:10:45 Rapid Fire 1:15:20 Fact or Cap 1:19:30 Final message IG Weseehiphop.com https://www.instagram.com/weseehiphop/ LilYuhX4 https://www.instagram.com/lilyuhx4/ $hentakeover https://www.instagram.com/shentakeover/ WESHH TV https://www.instagram.com/weshhtv/ 🌐 Visit https://weseehiphop.com – Canada’s Hip-Hop Encyclopedia 🎥 Follow for more episodes, behind the scenes, and exclusive artist content
