to know that he did everything for his city. You can see in the clip above the little speech he gave before he got into Know Yourself, telling the crowd that no matter what happens to him (even after he dies), he wants everyone in T.O. The Polaris Prize was ultimately awarded to Buffy Sainte-Marie’s Power In The Blood, and deservedly so, but the TSO’s cover of “Know Yourself” was a soaring highlight of the gala. Drake‘s Jungle Tour was broadcasting live in Toronto last night and when he says he loves city, it’s not a game. The string arrangement elevated the intricacies in the beat by Boi-1da, Vinylz, and Syk Sense, and faithfully reimagined the layered synth leads present in the sample source by ‘80s kraut-rock outfit Network. The musical rendition was a killer performance, put on for the city of Toronto at the Polaris 2015. After an introduction by Toronto councillor and Drake’s right hand man Norm Kelly, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra launched into the opening bars of “Know Yourself,” giving the eerie instrumental a lush, cinematic treatment with Drake’s vocal replicated by a cello lead. The Toronto Symphony Orchestra performed a cover of Drake’s Know Yourself, and undoubtedly received the astonishing credit it deserved. The 6 God couldn’t be there in person, but Polaris Prize organizers still wanted to feature a live performance to help acknowledge If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late. According to a video clip shared via Instagram Story by Sameer Jadavji, the Toronto rap superstar was shooting scenes for the forthcoming 'Whats Next' video on Lake Shore Blvd. The Polaris Gala saw performances by nominees Buffy Sainte-Marie, Braids, Jennifer Castle, Alvvays, and the soon-to-be-renamed Viet Cong, as well as tributes to short-listed albums by BadBadNotGood and Ghostface Killah, Caribou, Tobias Jesso Jr., The New Pornographers, and Drake. Drake was reportedly back near the Toronto condo building he made famous in his 2015 track Know Yourself late Sunday night. The Toronto Symphony Orchestra was runnin’ through the 6 with their bows last night, when the ensemble tackled a string arrangement of Drake ’s “Know Yourself” at the Polaris Prize Gala.
