Last night at Fuck The Numbers, Toronto’s “second son,” WishGxd, took over the stage and delivered a performance that cemented his growing legacy in the city’s music scene. Known for his sharp lyricism, commanding presence, and ability to connect with listeners on an emotional level, WishGxd treated fans to an unforgettable eight-song journey that spanned from hard-hitting bangers to introspective deep cuts.
Opening with “X RATED”, WishGxd wasted no time in setting a bold, unrelenting tone for the night. The crowd was immediately locked in as he transitioned into “The Boy Who Shot God”, a track drenched in mood and narrative weight. From there, he ignited nostalgia with “Y2K” before bringing pure swagger to “All On Green”, a performance that had the venue moving in sync with every bar.
Midway through the set, the energy hit a high point with “Broomstick”, featuring M2Keys. The two artists bounced off each other effortlessly, creating one of the most talked-about moments of the night. The vibe stayed sky-high with “Ok! ok!”, while “Lidocaine” slowed things down for a brief but impactful introspective moment.
Closing with “Mob Ties”, WishGxd left the crowd in a frenzy, proving his ability to not just perform songs, but to build an atmosphere that keeps fans hanging on every word. His connection with the audience was undeniable—whether leaning into heavy emotions or amping up the energy, he had full control from start to finish.
For WishGxd, this wasn’t just another show. It was a declaration that he belongs among Toronto’s most promising artists, ready to carry the city’s sound forward. If August 9th was any sign of what’s next, fans can expect even bigger stages and even bigger moments from Toronto’s “second son.”
