One the more important Canadian hip hop exports, Dream Warriors, aka King Lou and Capital Q, busted out of the Jane and Finch neighbourhood of TO in 1989. Their initial sound was sample heavy, but still managed to add Latin and Caribbean flavours to the mix. Although, far more popular in the UK and Canada the song only reached #24 on the US charts in the summer of 1990.

On To Golden Pastures - RIP: Rob Grill
Rob Grill, bassist and singer for the Grass Roots, passed away Monday at the age of 67. Though the Grass Roots were dismissed as easy pop of the time, their songs were highly influential to 70's supergroups like The Monkees, The Move, ELO and Three Dog Night and later for modern bands such as Robyn Hitchcock, The Flaming Lips and Sloan.
