The Mixtape:

Saukrates has rightly solidified himself as a legend in Toronto's hip-hop scene. He's influenced – and worked with – the city's brightest stars over the years, all while staying busy out on the road with Redman and in the studio working on his own albums. The latest of those albums is Season One, via FrostByte Media Inc./eOne, which is being released today through physical retail in Canada and digital retail in the U.S. The album will be released through physical retail in the U.S. this August.

To celebrate the release, Saukrates is giving fans a free mixtape, The Preseason Mix: Eastern Conference Edition, mixed by DJ Starting From Scratch, a collection of tracks throughout Saukrates' career, starting with his Capital Hill days in 1999 and continuing through his time with Warner, Def Jam, Gilla House, and more, before closing out with his current FrostByte material.

Asked why he decided to release the mixtape, Saukrates stated, simply, "Why not?" noting that the influence of friends and business associates encouraged him to get behind the project. "I forget how much of my material from an extensive period of my career hasn't been made available to everybody," says Saukrates. "It's heart-warming to know that friends and fans still hold a special place in their lives for my past material."

Accompanying the mixtape is the latest episode in Saukrates' recurring webisode series, "Saukrates' Philosophy." In this latest video, presented by FrostByte and produced by Huntclub, Saukrates breaks down the history of Canadian hip-hop, and in particular how coverage and recognition of the scene has developed, for the better, over time.

The Background:

With a career in hip-hop spanning well over 15 years, emcee/producer/songwriter Saukrates is one of Canada's most influential and important musical figures. At the age of 16, Saukrates had begun rhyming over his own homegrown production, pressing CDs independently and scraping money together for studio time. His hard work paid off and by 1996 Saukrates had won his first Juno Award for Best Rap Recording. After working with such notable figures as Redman, Nelly Furtado and Drake over the years, Saukrates is ready to make his latest release: Season One his best yet. The album has been released digitally in Canada and the US and physically in Canada. The US physical release date is scheduled for August, 2012.
