Factor's music has garnered international distribution and he has received positive critical acclaim by way of magazine and website reviews as well as receiving radio play on college/community radio all over Canada, the US and Japan. Factor's production combines smooth melodic samples and live instruments over immaculate drums put together seemingly effortlessly to create a distinct sound of his own and it's for this reason he's consistently banging out one-of-a-kind beats as one of underground music’s favorite new school producers. Factor is always trying to create original, thought-provoking music that pushes the envelope of traditional hip-hop and has drawn significant attention to this Canadian artist. Hailing from the prairies, this Saskatoon, SK born and raised musician continues to make waves with his innovative sound.

Sister Crayon - Cynic EP

STREET DATE » 04/15/2013 The Cynic EP is at times, both raw and inconsolable, inspired by Lopez’s absent father and daily frustrations with the past.

Awol One - The Mombie (Children's Book & CD)

STREET DATE » 03/21/2013 From Awol One: "I think kids need to have books to hold, touch and look at with others, even though i like digital books. I think that a real child's book is magic, its permanent, its real and holds value to our minds, ears and eyes." The Mombie fits the positive mood of a timeless children's story, while the artwork and soundtrack give it that classic b-movie feel. Keeping in tradition of some of my childhood favorites like The Munsters, Scooby Doo, The Addams Family or Beetlejuice, they all had something in common, friendship and love and creepy monsters.
