Biography
Dream Warriors was a Canadian rap duo formed in 1988. They are one of the pioneers of the jazz rap genre. Comprised of King Lou (Louis Robinson) and Capital Q (Frank Albert), Dream Warriors came together in Toronto and gradually established their jazz rap style. In 1991, they released their debut album, And Now The Legacy Begins (on 4th & Bâway/Island Records). Considered one of the top jazz rap albums, it features the massive hit âMy Definition of a Boombastic Jazz Styleâ, which reached Number 13 on the UK charts). The album also features the single âWash Your Face in My Sinkâ (Number 16). By the time their second album, Subliminal Simulation, was released on Pendulum/EMI Records in 1994, the line-up had expanded to include Spek (Hussain Yoosuf) and DJ Luv (Phillip Gayle). Two singles were released from the album â âDay In Day Outâ and âCalifornia Dreaminââ (not a cover of the song by the Mamas & the Papas) â but neither of them were hits. Master Plan (1996) - on EMI Records - was the bandâs third album and included the singles "Float On", "What Do You Want âLadiesâ", and "Sound Clash". In 1997, Spek and DJ Luv left Dream Warriors and they became a duo again. In 1999, EMI Records released Anthology: A Decade of Hits 1988-1998, which featured two new songs. Dream Warriors re-emerged in 2002 with their final album The Legacy Continuesâ¦, which was released only in Canada. Consisting of mostly new material, the album features the Pierre J Mix of their first hit âMy Definition of a Boombastic Jazz Styleâ. Fifteen years later, a compilation album entitled Icon was released containing the ground-breaking jazz rap outfitâs best-known tracks.
