Mathematik - Mathuniversal - 2023

2xLP - 2023 - Akromegalie Records  

Here is the new album (10 tracks + 9 respective intrumentals) from the Toronto-based emcee Mathematik, fully produced by Paris-based producers Parental & Lex (De Kalhex).

"Growing up in Toronto during the 80s and 90s, Lyndon Dash, also known as Mathematik, evolved into a versatile hip-hop artist. He began dancing at a young age, and in 1997, together with his crew Down To Erf, he released their first self-titled album. 

It showcased a classic 90s style, with Mathematik flowing over groovy jazz and boom bap beats, produced by his colleagues Steely Dan and Wal, and it also embodied the tradition that marked a part of the golden era of the genre, resonating both in the Canadian Underground and on the East Coast. 

That same year, the crew appeared on the Rap Essentials sampler by the Canadian  Beatfactory label. The influences are clearly derived from legends like A Tribe Called Quest and KRS One, while stylistic comparisons with underground heroes such as Main Source and the Boogiemonsters are inevitable.

The Toronto scene, from which artists like Drake would later emerge, provided fertile ground for up-and-coming MCs, producers, DJs, Breakdancers, and everything in between rap battles and street life. This is where Mathematik found his place by establishing himself as an emcee, learning the craft of DJing and creating his own beats. 

Although the lyrical approach of the multitalented artist follows a formula, it doesn’t change the fact that his style could hardly be replicated like simple mathematics. The rapper’s high vocal range and intricate rhymes soon made him a local celebrity, and it all began rolling whith his solo album, Ecology, released in 1999.

Tracks like Formation and Learn To Earn impress with their simplistic structure and a flow rooted in tradition. Mathematik remains true to the underground and sees his lyrics not just as a basis for battles but as a conduit for wisdom and poetry that aims to move the listener. 

With a wealth of wordplay and his laid-back demeanor, he delivers prophetic verses without excessive pathos, making him one of the pioneers of conscious rap in the Toronto scene 

Mathematik is a hip-hop fundamentalist who takes the true sound of the ever-evolving genre seriously. This is also evident in his collaborations, which span across various names and generated attention through the years.

He recorded his single Following Goals with Bahamadia, a rap heavyweight from Philadelphia, and additionally, he garnered recognition through his work with K-Cut from the rap crew Main Source, the duo Citizen Kane, and the Dream Warriors, among countless others." 

Available on 2xLP (Black Vinyl (500 copies) & Green Vinyl (300 copies)), CD (300 copies) & Tape (100 copies). Release Date : September 22nd 2023

2xLP - 2021 - 90's Tapes / HHV 

"The members of Down Ta Erf consists of a production team of twin brothers Wall & Steel, one emcee Mathematik. The trio would first meet on the football field sharing the back field as running backs for the Eagles in a local (Scarborough, Toronto) youth football league, a few years later into their teens they would link again to form what we now know as Down Ta Erf. During the early developing years the crew would go on to focus on creating the purest most original interpretation of the music and the times that they could, digging both within themselves and the crates as well. What took place was the creation of a special time capsule of music brought to you by a crew that truly live and breathe the culture of music" - courtesy of 90's Tapes

Mathematik - ReAL​/​iS​-​HiM - 2019

LP - 2019 - URBNET Records 


"Hip-Hop pioneer Mathematik is meticulous with his craft. His work knows no shortcuts and the proof is in his finely managed sound. Mathematik re-enters the spotlight to drop his new record Realishim, the follow up to his buzzworthy LP, No Division. Realishim delivers words that inform the mind while having feet planted firmly in assertive, heavy beats. 

Mathematik is a multi-disciplinary artist (emcee, DJ, producer) who is deeply rooted in the music industry. He started out as a dancer in grade four, eventually evolving as a lyricist and then learning to DJ. As a once member of the soulful Hip-Hop crew Down to Erf, Mathematik's background embodies almost all the fundamental aspects of hip-hop culture. His roster of collaborators and cohorts reads like a Canadian Hip Hop ‘who’s who’ commemorative. Highlights include producer K-Cut, Sic Sense, Citizen Kane, Saukrates, and Dream Warriors. Additionally, he worked with Philly-based hip-hop queen Bahamadia, with whom he realised the 1999 notable single “Following Goals”. 

Realishim has been a project in the works for years. Influenced by freestyle and DJ cyphers, Mathematik delivers an authentic sound derived from the once golden era, along with some modern adaptations. Realishim carries an undeniably heavier feel than previous works, with commentary on systemic and daily experiences of oppression This shift in Mathematik’s work is what brings the album to an elevated platform. 

“The difference between this and the No Division album is that I have more wisdom lyrically and speak out on more diverse topics... from the social and racial injustice all around us, to the regular struggles of life, and wanting to do better in mind body and soul” " - URBNET Bandcamp
