3) IMA Vegan (Earth Riddim)
4) Planet Mas (Mars Riddim) [EXPANSION]

Track 1/7 of "Solar System" Album by DJ PinkShoelace
A song about reaching for higher heights, and becoming successful despite the evil and jealousy of the haters. This song has a lot of metaphors that may go over the listener's head. Rasta Very is based on a true person I've met in my life, Verly, and the last quote I heard from him was on Christmas of 2020 when he told me "Reach For Higher Heights." I have never seen him since.
Track 3/7 of "Solar System" Album by DJ PinkShoelace
A song about the Vegan diet, the health benefits of Veganism, and the overcoming of haters who disapprove of my Veganism. Shout out to Macka B and That Vegan Teacher Miss Kadie who inspired me to make this song, direct reference to them in the song.
Track 5/7 of "Solar System" Album by DJ PinkShoelace
A song about the dangers and deception when it comes to the nightclub lifestyle. It seems all fun in the beginning, but always ends in a hangover, and a night full of misery.
Track 6/7 of the "Solar System" Album by DJ PinkShoelace
The sequel to my first song "PinkShoelace." It is a replica of the song, with minor changes to the riddim, and new and exempted lyrics that didn't make it into the first song, rumours of PinkShoelace 3 could occur in an upcoming album, perhaps in a couple of years.
Track 7/7 of the "Solar System" Album by DJ PinkShoelace
A song about the liberation of Palestine, the pride of being Palestinian, and the exposure of the evil acts of the Israeli government. It is a song that encourages peace in the Middle East, unity of the East and West, and a direct reference to Mohammed Assaf, who has inspired and influenced this song.
This was the FULL PERFORMANCE of DJ PinkShoelace at the first annual cultural festival in Montreal known as "East Meets West" Promoting the album "Solar System" set to release in early November 2023
PinkShoelace Riddim is now available on Spotify! This song has been in development for a couple months, and it's officially out now! Witness the beginning of my music career!
I am currently developing my journey on Spotify. I have started streaming my music on many platforms in 2022. Music will be released frequently over the years.
On October 13th, 2022. I have uploaded my first-ever instrumental single on Spotify. Although it's my first one, I am not promoting it or sharing it too widely, as it's a foot in the water. "Mine Riddim" is only the instrumental version of the song "Mine" that I'll be making eventually for my album "Midnight", set to be released sometime in the future.
More music is currently under development! Stay tuned as more remixes, albums, singles, and much more coming in the future!
As a DJ, I like to do remixes of existing songs in my free time. I also LOVE to MASHUP! Which is to take 2 or more songs, and combine them all into one SUPER MEGA AWESOME REMIX!!!
Celebrate International PinkShoelace Day on November 6th! On that day in 2019, is when the persona of DJ PinkShoelace first began! I was only 16 years old at that time, discovering myself and my surroundings. Attending weekly DJ workshops on Tuesdays with DJ Don Smooth as an extracurricular activity after school. That's where it all started!
Listening may cause death due to cringeness. Listen at your own risk.
My first song on YouTube! In June of 2021, CORONAVAIRYS [CRINGE REMIX] was uploaded to the public. The first video to hit 100 views, mostly by friends, and family members, and watching it on repeat. This song was MEANT to be cringe because as 2021 me explains it, the virus was so bad, that it didn't deserve a good song. Which may or may not be an excuse for him to be lazy in the studio. Kayla Cobie and my Bwoyvineous ego were added as a last-minute collab, only several days before the release.
This song is the revamped version of the song below, Tiem-Tatiemya. It contains better musical composition, though out lyrics (atleast more thought-out than the previuous one), and an actual dance video, featuring the Colour Boyfriends persona for the very first time. This song was meant to be submitted as a class assignment for dramatic arts. However, due to Covid-19, the video was (thankfully) never submitted, sparing Hassan from the embarrassment of presenting it in front of the whole class. A Covid remix of the song has been composed several months after it was made, which later on, became its own song currently known as "Coronavairys."
THE FIRST SONG I MADE IN MY LIFETIME
This is the first song that I composed in my lifetime. It was made in December of 2019 and it's called "Tiem-Tatiemya," which at the time, had no meaning and was complete gibberish. The entire song was improvised on the spot, and the melody and some of the lyrics parodied the song "Keep Cool" by Major Lazer, which at the time, was my favourite group of artists. The song has since gained sentimental value despite its pure satire, as it is the marking point of the DJ PinkShoelace Boy persona.
