Hailing originally from Nova Scotia and now rooted in Alberta, King West is a Canadian hip-hop artist known for blending storytelling with high-energy performances. His music captures both raw emotion and relatable experiences, using sharp wordplay, versatile flows, and undeniable presence on every track.

Growing up in the small town of Port Hawkesbury, Nova Scotia — with a population of just 3,000 and little music scene to lean on — King West found his voice through resilience. Music became his outlet, a way to turn trials and tribulations into songs that connect with audiences everywhere.

Career Highlights:

Winner of the Indi Rap Challenge
1st Place in the Rap Genius Tournament

Shared stages with Merkules, k-os, Snak The Ripper, MadChild, Golden BSP, Eazy Mac, Robbie G, Brandon Hart, Evil Ebenezer, Doom Squad, and more

The room buzzed with excitement, the beats shook the walls, and the stage became a place where pure talent and passion collided. From the moment the first act stepped up, it was clear this wasn’t going to be an ordinary show.

One after another, the performers raised the bar — each set packed with personality, energy, and raw creativity. The audience didn’t just watch; they fed into the vibe, cheering, moving, and connecting with every track. The lineup was stacked with local talent who each brought their own unique flavor to the night:
