The Dream Warriors
The Legacy Continues...

(ISBA/BMG)
Genre: Jazz Rap/Hip Hop


ISBA Website

Most rap-heads out there know it. In order for an artist to be successful and respected, they have to have some sense of originality. They also need a steady array of lyrics, both powerful and catching. Most importantly they must remain true to the sacred culture of hip-hop. Dream Warriors latest record, The Legacy Continues… seems to fit most of those qualities.

In the past, Dream Warriors have been known for being the underground Canadian hip-hop act that always stayed true to their art, but ultimately lacked that appeal that is crucial to the trade. In this album, we realize that although none of the songs are completely off the hook, except for maybe “Unstoppable,” that was not the purpose of the album. Dream Warriors use a diversity of sounds, integrated with lyrics powerful in nature that relays a different sonic experience with each track.

So it doesn’t matter that you won’t see a Dream Warriors CD in your friends ride, or hear them being blasted up in the club. All that matters is that this Canadian duo which has been banging since the late eighties is still around. Regardless of whether or not you consider Dream Warriors a good rap group, you must respect them for staying true to their art. In the rap game, where such an artist is rarity, listening to The Legacy Continues… was a pleasure.

--- Shawn Raha.
