Toronto hip-hop icon Saukrates continues to prove his enduring influence in the industry with the re-release of his classic single “Comin’ Up,” marking a significant moment in his long-running career. The track, originally dropped over two decades ago, is set to appear on Saukrates’ forthcoming studio album, Bad Addiction.
First introduced in 2003 as a 12-inch vinyl single alongside “Sumthin 4 Da Streetz,” “Comin’ Up” gained even wider recognition as part of the Canadian version of the 2 Fast 2 Furious soundtrack. The song serves as a powerful anthem of resilience, celebrating the struggle of rising through the ranks of hip-hop while proudly representing Toronto.
Even as the Toronto Raptors’ Vince Carter now graces the Hall of Fame rather than the courts at Skydome, the reference to the basketball legend in “Comin’ Up” remains just as relevant today, maintaining its timeless connection to both the city and the culture.
With Bad Addiction, Saukrates continues to stay true to his roots while evolving as an artist, delivering fresh sounds that reflect both his past and his growth within the genre. The re-release of “Comin’ Up” offers a nostalgic glimpse into his early days while setting the stage for his latest musical chapter.
