Sidhu Moose Wala and Sunny Malton's Brampton-Boosting Single "410" Debuts on Billboard Canadian Hot 100

A new posthumous release from the late Punjabi music icon, who first released music while living in Canada, hits No. 42 on the chart.

Sidhu Moose Wala's legacy lives on in Canadian music. A new single from the late Punjabi musician, in collaboration with Punjabi-Canadian artist Sunny Malton, debuted at No. 42 on this week's Billboard Canadian Hot 100.

"410" is a heady hip-hop track full of references to the Greater Toronto Area. Malton, who takes his name from Malton in Mississauga, name-checks Degrassi, Brampton and Drake in his first verse. "It's like welcome to the Region of Peel / it's getting scary," Malton raps, highlighting the region encompassing both Mississauga and Brampton.
