Frankie Payne takes us on a journey through the ghettos of Toronto, Capturing the emotions, and realities of the people who live and breathe them. Raining in Toronto stands as a metaphor representing the depression, oppression, and hope that can only be understood if experienced.
“One summer day while just chilling on the block a youth from around the way came up to talk to me. He wanted to hale me up. We started talking about the bowy dem, the shootings, the struggle and basically the over all environment of the hood. He was a young shooter. I could tell because of his quick movements and the way his eyes were continually surveying everything.
His eyes portrayed a deep paranoia and the wildness of a desperate lion.
He started telling me that he had no choice but to be a killer out here. He said he had to protect and feed his family and he was prepared to do what ever he had too. He said he was ready to die!
He couldn’t have been more then 15, 16 years old! It inspired me to write this song. To address a police force trap in a conundrum simultaneously maintaining and destroying crime. For young kids becoming men in an environment where men that act like children are feared. For those who think fear is respect. For anyone who’s lost someone they love. Because they know that no matter what. In back of they’re minds where they dare not go. It’s always Raining in Toronto.”
