Groove Pack

ABOUT THE ALBUM

Groove Pack is the next evolution of GHO$TOWN RECORD$’ collaborative sound — a full-length compilation album built through months of artistic development, mentorship, and community-driven creation.

Serving as the official follow-up to Loop Pack, the project shifts from raw cypher energy into a more intentional, groove-centered sonic identity. Rooted in jazz, soul, and contemporary hip-hop, Groove Pack captures the growth of a collective moving from experimentation into refined artistic direction.

Developed through weekly studio sessions, the project brings together emerging and established voices across Toronto’s underground scene — pairing artists with producers and mentors to push both sound and storytelling forward.

This isn’t just a compilation — it’s a process, a program, and a platform for the next wave of artists.

 

HIGHLIGHT SINGLES: 

“Son Shine P2” 

Joey Rose, Ghostboyrj & Sport Mathews

 

“Son Shine P2” by Ghostboyrj, Joey Rose, and Sport Mathews is a soulful and reflective hip-hop record centered around resilience, gratitude, and perseverance through difficult moments.

Built around the line “Fuck the shine, what’s ya grind ‘bout?”, the song shifts the focus away from appearances and toward purpose, discipline, and growth during times of pressure and uncertainty. The hook’s closing line — “Sun is shinin’, what you cryin’ ‘bout?” — serves as a reminder to stay grounded in gratitude and keep moving forward even through adversity.

Driven by warm production, introspective lyricism, and natural chemistry between all three artists, “Son Shine P2” captures the honest, community-rooted spirit of the GHO$TOWN RECORD$ sound.
