Your Scarborough kid just landed on Drake's new album.

Your kid could be on a Drake album, for real.

Okay, but real talk— this is wild, fam. You know how everyone in Toronto dreams of making it big, right? Well, a Scarborough kid, Arham Paul, just landed on Drake's new trilogy album. Can you believe it? This dude was just getting ready for bed on a school night last summer, and next thing you know, his principal's asking if he's on a Drake album. It’s straight out of a movie script, except it’s happening right here, in our city.

This isn't just some random producer; this is a local legend in the making. Arham, who’s only a teen, got tapped through a friend to work on Drizzy's new projects. Imagine that phone call! One minute you’re chilling at home, maybe grabbing a roti from that spot on Lawrence, the next you’re contributing to one of the biggest artists in the world. It just proves that talent in the 6ix is everywhere, not just downtown. It’s in the quiet corners of Scarborough, it’s in the high schools, it’s everywhere you look.

* **Local talent on the rise:** This isn't the first time a Scarborough artist has made waves, and it definitely won't be the last. * **Drake's Toronto connection:** It’s dope to see Drake consistently lifting up local talent and giving them a platform. * **Inspiration for young creatives:** This is a massive shout-out to every kid in the GTA dreaming of making beats or writing lyrics.

Real talk, this is Toronto — stay up. This kind of story, it's what makes our city special. It's that underdog spirit, that hustle, that belief that anything is possible right here, even when it feels like everything is getting priced out. For us, this isn't just about music; it's about seeing one of our own shine on the global stage.

The Morning Wire crew breaks down all the local buzz. Catch it live, fam, at mornings.live.
