Atlantic Waves is a local platform dedicated to showcasing Rap, Pop and Hip-Hop from Atlantic Canadian Musicians. Originally starting as a playlist to spotlight Newfoundland's underground scene, it has grown into a hub for regional talent across the Maritimes.

 

Our popular Release Radar on Instagram highlights the week’s top music with a ten-slide breakdown of new drops, including underground gems and hits from well-known artists.

 

We also share music news, updates, and stories while organizing live shows in collaboration with our parent company Progressive Entertainment.

 

Atlantic Waves is part of a larger trend in Canada of giving more space to regional hip-hop scenes. In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the importance of regional diversity within the Canadian music scene, and Atlantic Waves is a key player in amplifying voices from the East Coast.

​

By giving attention to smaller, independent artists, the project not only elevates the profile of Atlantic Canadian hip-hop but also enriches the broader Canadian music scene by contributing a fresh and unique perspective.

Atlantic Waves plays a vital role in bringing attention to the talent and culture in one of Canada's most unique regions. The platform fosters creativity, collaboration, and a sense of pride for both artists and fans.

 

By focusing on local stories, music, and culture, it ensures that the hip-hop scene in Atlantic Canada continues to grow and thrive in both national and global contexts.
