Dream Warriors are a multi-award-winning Canadian hip-hop group recognized as a pioneering musical force of the jazz rap movement and the hip-hop scene in both Canada and the UK. The group is composed of original founding members Louis "King Lou" Robinson and Frank "Capital Q" Allert, the dynamic duo is described as "a pair of deft, intelligent rappers" by John Bush of AllMusic. Their 1991 debut album, And Now the Legacy Begins, was cited by Bush as one of the finest alternative hip hop records of the golden era. Before the release of their second album Subliminal Simulation in 1994, the duo became a group with the addition of rapper Spek and DJ Luv. In 1996, they released a third album, The Master Plan, before the two new members left the group a year later. Though their subsequent releases did not garner similar commercial success as their debut, the duo released a well-received greatest hits album in 1999. Their final album, The Legacy Continues..., was released in 2002.
