Big Black Lincoln was a Canadian rhythm and blues band from Toronto, Ontario, active in the mid-2000s. The group consisted of rapper Saukrates, along with musicians T.R.A.C.K.S., Agile, Ro Dolla, and Shakari Nyte. Saukrates formed Big Black Lincoln as a side project after realizing some of his songs did not fit on his rap-oriented albums. Their single, "Pimpin' Life", was released in 2003, earning them a nomination for R&B/Soul Recording of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2004. The group's full-length album, Heaven's Caught on Fire, followed in January 2006 and became an important influence on Toronto's R&B and hip hop scenes in the later 2000s and 2010s.
