• On Sept. 27, 2025, in a thrift store on Saint-Denis Street in Montréal, Damso — a Congolese-Belgian artist, and one of the most popular French-speaking rappers in the world — was recording in front of a live audience. His guest? Laval-based R&B singer-songwriter Blynk, who SOCAN had selected to showcase at Les Rendez-vous Pros des Francos in June of 2025. As an impressive crowd spilled out of the store and onto the street, a song took shape, with fans invited to sing along, to what would become “MTL,” our SOCAN Song of the Week — and already a multimillion-streamed hit on various platforms!
