And Now, The Legacy Begins

Released

Toronto’s King Lou and Capital Q made a still-remarkable splash with their debut album And Now The Legacy Begins, helping put Toronto’s homegrown hip-hop scene on the map. Addictively catchy singles like “Wash Your Face In My Sink” and the aesthetic statement-of-purpose “My Definition of a Boombastic Jazz Style” remain standout cuts but the whole is a treat, not least due to their happy embrace of nerd lifestyle highlights via songs like “Voyage Through the Multiverse” and “Twelve Sided Dice.”
