Toronto hip-hop pioneer Saukrates has releases his long-awaited album Bad Addiction, offering fans a rare glimpse into his vault of unreleased tracks. The 12-track project features songs recorded between 1999 and 2004, many of which have never been heard by the general public until now.
To build anticipation for the album, Saukrates dropped a set of vibrant animated visuals for his 2004 classic, “Comin Up.” The animation not only breathes new life into the track but also highlights the depth of his catalog, reminding fans of the impact he’s had on the Canadian hip-hop scene. From crafting groundbreaking tracks alongside contemporaries like Kardinal Offishall, Choclair, and K-Os, to being one of the first to recognize Drake’s potential and offering him early mentorship, Saukrates’ influence is undeniable.
With Bad Addiction, Saukrates delivers a long-overdue piece of Canadian hip-hop history, packed with rare gems that will resonate with both longtime fans and new listeners alike. The album not only reflects Big Soxx personal journey but also serves as a tribute to the golden era of Canadian hip-hop, solidifying his role in shaping its legacy.
