BiG BLaCK LiNCoLN`s "HeaVeN`s CauGHT On FiRe"...

Alright since today is both my mother`s Birthday as well as Canada`s it`s only right that I wish `em both a BLeSSeD Born Day! So here goes....LoL, Happy Birthday mama & Happy Canada Day Canada! Now on to the music...




Gon` start this month off with some good ol` Canadian HiP HoP infused with a lot of Funk & Soul from the Toronto based group Big Black Lincoln. The 5 member group consisting of Saukrates, T.R.A.C.K.S., Agile, Ro Dolla & Shakari Nyte was initially conceived as a production unit, since all of them are producers. However after working with each other things suddenly transformed into more of a group/ band type of effort than just production sessions...


Things all sparked off from an artistic impulse that Saukrates needed to fuel. That`s when he realized that he needed to connect with some like~minded individuals in order to make it happen. You see Saukrates was crafting a style of vocal that was more crooning than that of traditional rapping so it didn`t really mesh well with the HiP HoP album that he was working on. Rather than let the idea die, Saukrates expanded it by linkin` up with producers Agile & T.R.A.C.K.S. (they`ve produced tracks for fellow Canadian HiPP HoP groups Brassmunk & Irs). Then Circle member Ro Dolla & vocalist/ producer Shakari Nyte joined to complete the group...


You can read a DoPe lil` article about Big Black Lincoln that`s featured over at Exclaim! here. Anyway, if you`ve got an open mind when it comes to HiP HoP you should really enjoy this so go `head & check it out...
