Rising Toronto artist Ghostboyrj is back with his highly anticipated self-produced album, State of Mind. Dropping under Urbnet Records, a major name in the independent hip-hop scene, the album follows the success of his 2024 release, What You’ll Find. It builds on the momentum that’s been driving his rise in the Toronto hip-hop scene. From start to finish, State of Mind is a bold, carefully crafted journey that masterfully blends style with substance.
As a producer, Ghostboyrj blends atmospheric, experimental sounds with classic hip-hop and jazz-inspired beats, creating the perfect backdrop for his complex, introspective lyricism to shine. Sonically, State of Mind is full of contrasts, with a delicate balance between traditional hip-hop roots and more avant-garde elements. This fusion is what makes Ghostboyrj’s music truly unique as he continues to push boundaries while staying true to the essence of classic hip-hop. The album’s presentation—featuring anime-inspired cover art and minimalist, refined music videos—further reflects his distinctive taste and artistic vision. State of Mind also features standout collaborations, including Jon Kabongo on “Super Intentional,” BKRSCLB on “Gritfall,” and The 6th Letter on “Shadow Man,” adding even more layers to this rich project.
