Eternia

"Foul Child"

BY Del F. CowiePublished Dec 14, 2009

TRACK OF THE DAY: Eternia has been busy. Shuttling between living in the T-dot and Queens, New York, she's been doing everything from touring Ontario schools to empower young girls to releasing weekly online videos in preparation for her forthcoming full-length, At Last. The release will be produced entirely by Toronto, ON's MoSS, who has provided beats for the likes of Raekwon, Ghostface Killah and many others. None of this relentless activity is anything new, but we hadn't heard much musically from the MC over the past year.

This is about to change. The veteran MC shows her seasoned acumen on "Foul Child," a track from her Get Caught Up mixtape, released online this week. Riding a vocal sample from Big L's "Put It On," "Foul Child" combines Eternia's sepia-toned storytelling ability and the boundless energy of her live performance, managing to be autobiographically vivid and lyrically rousing in one fell swoop.
