After realizing that some of the songs he was writing weren't fitting in on his rap-oriented albums, Saukrates launched the band as a side project.[2] The group released the single "Pimpin' Life" in 2003, receiving a Juno Award nomination for R&B/Soul Recording of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2004.[3] They followed up with the full-length album Heaven's Caught on Fire in 2006.[4] The album went on to be recognized as an important influence on Toronto's R&B and hip hop scenes in the later 2000s and 2010s.[1]
