MEGACITY CLASSIC: Big Black Lincoln "Heaven's Caught On Fire" (Full Download)
Download HERE!
In 2006 Saukrates, TRACKS from IRS, Shakari Knight, Ro Dolla and Agile came together to create Big Black Lincoln.
Still regarded (in mine and Rez’s opinion) as the most slept on album to come out of this city, “Heaven’s Caught On Fire” is now available for free (courtesy of @BiggSoxx).
Honestly it hurts me to put this up cuz there’s no reason why anyone living in Toronto, that claims to ‘love’ this city and its hip-hop movement, should not already own this album (if there was any type of criteria to claim ‘love’ for Toronto’s hip-hop movement, BUYING this album would be one of them).
Indifferent cynics unable to separate hip-hop love from our local hip-hop accomplishments, can point to whatever rationale they want to undermine the importance of this release but given the turn music took around the time this dropped, I can safely say that if this was the last album I bought before ‘intangible love’ became the norm for music lovers/consumers, it was a worthy note to end on.
I fuckin’ LOVE my city.
Enjoy.
Love the album, love the post, love you both but for the life of me I cannot get the effing file to open.
Am I slow or is it really corrupted?

This album is soooooo classic, and the free download will hopefully put some new listeners to this… I love it as a whole! My joints are “In the hood” and “Pimpin Life” with a side of “Clementine!”

Your words are true, But when they only have 1 copy in the GTA available in HMV at Bramalea city center; Its hard for people to cop it. Too BAD, I got mine when it first came out. enjoy the bootleg suckas!

This is definitely one of THE best albums to ever come out of Toronto. I still play this project from top to bottom! Underexposed and criminally underrated!!!!
