“Canada’s Dopest Female MC” – Exclaim Magazine
Juno-nominated and widely considered one of Canada’s foremost lyricists, Eternia continues to carry the torch for those Hip Hop aficionados who crave… s’More.
With six music video singles on international rotation, and two critically acclaimed full-lengths released in 2005 – “Where I Been – The Collection” & “It’s Called Life” (Urbnet Records) – Canada’s “best kept secret” has paid good dues and is ready to prove it.
In 2005, Following a slew of successful singles, videos & feature releases including “Work it Out”, “Sorrow Song” (Universal/Maple), “Understand If I” (Battle Axe Records), “Just the Way It Is” (Urbnet), and the Australian national radio hit “Movin’” (‘Warner Records), Eternia proudly introduces to the world her most personal offering, the highly anticipated full-length album; ‘It’s Called Life’. She is widely respected amongst the international hip hop scene and this is verified by the calibre of guest artists appearing on ‘It’s Called Life’ including Wordsworth, Kenn Starr, DJ Dopey, Helixx C. (Anomalies), Freestyle (The Arsonists), Cesar Comanche (Justus League) and Jessica Kaya. Kicking it on a spectrum of life and interpersonal relationships with some poignant concepts and intelligent metaphorical plays, Eternia works her magic over some classic production by Tone Mason, Rude, Collizhun, Mercilless, Bounce and Simahlak.
Eternia has toured extensively in Canada, the U.S., Australia, and most recently Europe; those that are lucky enough to catch her live credit her as one of the best live performers they have witnessed. It is Eternia’s ability to convey her personality and life experiences fluidly through her rhymes (in addition to the ease with which she can annihilate people lyrically) that has kept those in the know checking for her for over a decade.
Eternia’s newest addition to her growing discography in 2007, “Where I’m At – The Setup”, boasts an impressive roster of producers and featured artists – 9th Wonder, M-Phazes, Frequency, Torae, Ms. Davis, The Polyrhythmaddicts (Shabaam Sahdeeq, Mr. Complex, Tiye Phoenix), Wordsworth & many more – that believe in this hard-hitting femme-fatale. Perhaps, for a moment, you can do as they did: put aside race, gender, and nationality, close your eyes…
and JUST LISTEN.
We guarantee you’ll Believe.
