Toronto, ON – Brampton-raised rapper and community leader, Lankesh Patel, known as Spitty, has officially released his highly anticipated new album Motherland, now available on all streaming platforms.
Produced by Nick Ianno and Felix Khan of Star67 Studio, Motherland is a South Asian-inspired hip hop album that blends Spitty’s cultural heritage with personal experiences, featuring a diverse array of artists from Canada, India, and the US. The album highlights the power of diversity through its intricate soundscapes.
The album delves into Spitty’s relationships with key women in his life, with tracks like “Mom,” a heartfelt letter to his mother. The title track, “Motherland,” featuring classical singer PRII, explores the challenges facing a person’s homeland, no matter its identity or location.
Also featured on the album is the nostalgic track “I Feel So Amazing,” paying homage to 2000s rap, and “Rodeo,” a vibrant, feel-good song. “Rodeo” marks Spitty’s first Punjabi collaboration, featuring Calgary-based producer Yuvy and artist Roze, who contributes romantic Punjabi lyrics. Spitty’s playful verses in English provide a perfect blend for this cultural fusion.
Spitty has been making waves in the music industry since his debut album Full Circle, which garnered praise from Rolling Stone India and Much Music Canada. The success of that album led him to embark on a 22-date tour across Canada and the USA, with performances at festivals like Canadian Music Week, NXNE, LAUNCH Music Fest, and DesiFest.
As a dedicated Brampton ambassador, Spitty continues to represent his hometown through both music and community work. Alongside figures like Rupi Kaur and Haviah Mighty, Spitty helps create artist resources and programming in the city. Featured in Complex Canada as a Brampton Artist Ambassador, he hosts free monthly open mic events and speaks at schools to motivate and inspire the youth.
After going viral on Instagram in both India and Canada, Spitty’s momentum shows no signs of slowing down. With more music on the way and upcoming performances, including shows in Toronto on September 29th at Global Toronto Music Festival and October 12th at The Dance Cave in Lee’s Palace, Spitty is set to continue his rapid rise in the music scene.
