If Toronto Maple Leafs fans were worried about celebrating their team’s run to the postseason without a homemade, guitar-laden hip-hop track with plenty of name-dropping, they should worry no longer.
With “Go Leafs Go,” lyricist Azeem Haq is touting what he calls “the anthem your Toronto Maple Leafs deserve,” and it’s one that has fostered quite a local buzz, landing on local TV while its proceeds go to the MLSE Foundation, which strives to impact lives through sports by “building facilities, giving to sustainable programs and empowering youth through sports and recreation.”
So, yes, if you were wondering, a Maple Leafs rap anthem does exist. And it happens to be for a good cause.
Check out Haq’s bars, which feature shoutouts to Auston “3:16” Matthews and Toronto head coach Mike Babcock: Check out the song on YouTube below.
