Aquakultre - Wife Tonight

Fast-rising hip-hop/R&B artist Lance Sampson feels the funk on this lustful cut.

Aquakultre - Wife Tonight

By Kerry Doole

Aquakultre - Wife Tonight (Black Buffalo Records): Things have moved quickly for Halifax R&B/hip-hop artist Lance Sampson (aka Aquakultre). He only started rapping in 2015, after he'd served a five-year stretch in federal prison. Three years later, he won the CBC's Searchlight competition, participated in the prestigious Allan Slaight Juno Master Class program, and recorded a new album,  Legacy, at the National Music Centre.


It comes out on Friday, preceded by this focus cut that showcases just why such a buzz is surrounding Sampson. While two recent singles, I Doubt It and Pay It Forward, traversed R&B and old school hip-hop terrain, Wife Tonight brings out the funk.

This is an upbeat romp accented by cool clavinet work that certainly recalls Stevie Wonder a la Superstition, while Sampson lustfully declares he's "looking for a wife tonight." A cut sure to go over well in a future live setting.

Joining Sampson in Aquakultre are bandmates Nathan Doucet, Nick Dourado, and Jeremy Costello.

Live Nation British Columbia cites "border crossing issues" for the rapper's removal in a statement released ahead of the first Vancouver show tonight (July 15).

It looks like Playboi Carti fans in Canada will have to wait a little longer to see him live.

Live Nation British Columbia released a statement on its Instagram Stories this morning (July 15) confirming that the Atlanta rapper will no longer be opening for the Vancouver and Edmonton shows on The Weeknd's After Hours Til Dawn tour "due to border crossing issues." The promoter apologized for any inconvenience.
