Big Black Lincoln was a Canadian R&B musical group from Toronto, Ontario, active in the mid-2000s. [1] Led by rapper Saukrates, the group included musicians T.R.A.C.K.S., Agile, Ro Dolla and Shakari Nyte. [2]
After realizing that some of the songs he was writing weren't fitting in on his rap-oriented albums, Saukrates launched the band as a side project. [2] The group released the single "Pimpin' Life" in 2003, receiving a Juno Award nomination for R&B/Soul Recording of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2004. [3] [4] They followed up with the full-length album Heaven's Caught on Fire in 2006. [5] The album went on to be recognized as an important influence on Toronto's R&B and hip hop scenes in the later 2000s and 2010s. [1]
