1)The Dream Warriors … Read Full Bio ↴There are two artists known as Dream Warriors:
1)The Dream Warriors are King Lou and Capital Q (aka The Quiet Storm), a pair of Toronto, Canada-based alternative rappers.
2) A metal band from Honduras.
1) They formed in 1988 and released the jazz rap LP And Now, the Legacy Begins in 1991, which was critically acclaimed and sold well in Canada and the United Kingdom. The album spawned the hit single "My Definition of a Boombastic Jazz Style", which featured a prominent sample of Soul Bossa Nova by Quincy Jones which originally appeared on his 1962 LP Big Band Bossa Nova and was also the theme music to the Canadian game show Definition.
The 1994 follow-up, Subliminal Simulation, received mixed reviews, and has since been forgotten by some and named a cult favourite by others; it featured guest vocals by Ishmael Butler of Digable Planets (on the track "Tricycles and Kittens"), and Guru and DJ Premier contributed to two different versions of the song called "I've Lost My Ignorance (and Don't Know Where To Find It").
Their most recent album, 1997's The Master Plan, was poorly received and did not sell well, but they made an appearance in 1999 for The Herbaliser on the track "Road of Many Signs."

Dream Warriors Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dream Warriors' noise is new discover-al
once again with a new blend so telephone a friend
(yo dude I just got this new song It's dope man)
compact disc to the prime is optimist
fans and friends I'm universally cosmic
concrete jungles abound
you stand by the speakers
you stand strong as you pump your fist
I'm talkin' all that jazz
now what's my definition
Chorus:
my definition
my definition
my definition is this
my definition
my definition
my definition is this
my definition
my definition is this
my definition
when I kick rhymes there's something said to do damage
hits so strong even superman needs a hand
so bob your head dread as I kick the funk flow
this rhyme is subliminal yet you don't think so
I walk with a gold cane a gold brain and no gold chain
behind the truth lies there lies a parafix
in the mix is where Dream Warriors go
define if you will but I know so
there is no definition
Chorus
rhyme thou I know it to flow it just like a poet
your definition of me is definitely wrong
why must I try to lie and build an alibi
when all you ask is just for me to be me
replace a replacable replacement with this
relax relax relaxtion boombastic
my name is King Lu
(mine is Capital Q)
bags of mostly water search to find my definition
Chorus
I sought beauty through the dust of strife
I sought meaning to my music addicition
arise awaken we have need to reverse
a plauge has befallen us no time to reherse
this rhyme speaks it speak and has spoken
this rhyme will not change things
it needs to be changed in a hurse
you find caskets in my rhyme baskets of rhyme
your definition can define
so what's my definition
Chorus
(yo, where'd everybody go?)
Dream Warriors' song "My Definition Of A Boombastic Jazz Style" is an ode to their unique blend of music, characterized by mixing of jazz and hip hop sounds. The lyrics convey a sense of confidence and unity, as the group invites audiences to share in their new discovery: "Dream Warriors' noise is new discover-al/once again with a new blend so telephone a friend." The song highlights the power of music and how it can transport listeners, wiping away the noise of everyday life: "concrete jungles abound/you stand by the singers/you're smothered and covered up in the sound."
The chorus repeats the phrase "my definition" several times, and the group seems to reject the idea of a definitive label, instead celebrating their own unique style: "define if you will but I know so/there is no definition." The verses continue with poetic rhymes and imagery, with each member of the group introducing themselves and offering their own personal definition of their sound.

@Julius_Paul
When rap was FUN, back in the old school days!
@CANControlGRAFFITI
It’s called hip-hop and it’s still dope as hell! Look up the allergies with Andy Cooper (from ugly ducking as if you didn’t know!)
@olaakinlade4362
Rap IS FUN
@johnrobinson7148
It used to be fun..90s was gold..hip hop these days leaves me cold
@smokexxhash
Lol its still fun but how old are you 40+? I've noticed it's like a separation in hip hop between younger generations and those born in the 80s and earlier
@larry8910
I feel like this should be way more popular. I’m 33 years old and have always been into hip hop of all eras. Yet I only heard this today for the first time through somebody’s random request on the radio. Instantly loved it.
@shellz1141
This was very very popular. Esp in Canada where the "My Definition" part hits.
@robhenry420
