Another Assignement #6


Hello my fellow bloggers! I decided to do another entry on a influential African-Canadian. This time I choose the Canadian Alternative hip hop duo, DREAM WARRIORS!

Dream Warriors were formed in 1988 by, King Lou (Louie Robinson) and Capital Q (Frank Allert). The members of the group are, King Lou, Capital Q, DJ Luv and Spek hailing from, Jane and Finch and Willowdale, neighborhoods of Toronto.
They released their first hip hop album "And now the Legendary Begins" in 1991. The album was critically acclaimed and sold in Canada, United States, United Kingdom, and across Europe. Over 8oo,oo0 copies sold worldwide. The albums first single "My Definition of a Boombastic Jazz Style," was featured in the Austin Power Series. In 1992, Dream Warriors released a single called"Man Smart (Women Smarter)," for the Buffy The Vampire Slayer Soundtrack. Both singles went on to win a Juno Award. Their second album released in 1994, "Subliminal Simulation," had mixed reviews. It featured guest vocals by Ishmael Butler of Digable Planets (on the track "Tricycles and Kittens"), and Gang Starr (Guru and Dj Premier). The group released, "The Master Plan," which was not realeased in America. Later on, Spek and DJ Luv officialy left the group in 1997.
In 2002, the group reunited to make an album called,"The legacy continues."

Dream Warriors had contributed many things to Canada. They were one time named as the top selling hip hop dou for ten years. Dream Warriors produce songs that reflect who they are without using drugs, money, or sexuality in their lyrics. They present them selves in a decent way, and their music is catchy. That is why I choose, Dream Warriors for my assignment.

Hey Fatema, great post! I like your new template, it looks good. :) The Dream warriors seem interesting, though I haven't heard of them before.
Keep up your great work!

Hi Fatema,

This is a very interesting profile. I had never heard of the Dream Warriors, but I am now going to look for the song they recorded for the Buffy soundtrack!
