Coming straight from Toronto, Ontario, Canada we are blessed with the Dream Warriors!
From Hip Hop Wiki:
Dream Warriors were a rap recording duo, later a quartet. Beginning as a duo when they formed in 1988, Capital Q (born Frank Albert) and King Lou (born Louie Robinson) had set up their own company, BeatFactory Productions with Rupert Gayle before signing their first record deal...their debut album, And Now, The Legacy Begins, was released in 1991. Dream Warriors' second single sampled from Quincy Jones's "Soul Bossa Nova" and it became the theme song for the Canadian game show, Definition. The album was a UK Top 20 hit and went gold in the duo's native country, as well as earning a Juno Award.
