(Calgary) August 16, 2023 – “Less is More,” the latest single from Calgary-based hip-hop artist K-Riz, was built out of collaboration, illuminating the effortless magic that can blossom when the right vibe is in the room. The track is the latest tune to be released from K-Riz’s upcoming collaboration-filled effort, One Way Ticket – out September 15 on Birthday Cake Records.

“Less is More” reveals the beautiful things that can come into focus when you’re fully present. Being mindful is a theme that One Way Ticket revels in, prompting us to find joy in every moment; expecting less and in doing so appreciating more.

Produced over a one-day session in Junia-T’s Toronto studio, each part of the tune came together organically during a free-flowing songwriting session. K-Riz’s calming verses unfold over breathy hooks from Ice Tha One, and hypnotic production courtesy of Junia-T. It’s a head-bobbing jam where atmosphere takes precedence, striking a balance between melodic hip-hop and blissful R&B.

“This track came out so easily,” K-Riz says. “I love what other people can bring to a song; the melodies that people come up with that stretch the boundaries of what a song can be. That’s the magic part of collaborating. All of these voices just make each track what it needs to be. It lifts up the entire record.”
