Aquakultre

Aquakultre is a Canadian soul and R&B musical project from Halifax, Nova Scotia, whose core member is singer and rapper Lance Sampson. They are most noted for their album "Legacy", which was a longlisted nominee for the 2020 Polaris Music Prize.
Sampson was a troubled teenager, who spent some time trafficking drugs and received a five-year prison sentence as a teenager. After being exposed to the music of Common and Erykah Badu, he taught himself to play guitar, and was released from prison after just 19 months for good behaviour. He began performing as a rapper and singer in 2015, and in 2018 he won CBC Music's annual Searchlight competition with "Sure", a song he had written in prison. 
He recorded "Legacy" in just seven days at the National Music Centre in Calgary, Alberta, with a band that included Nathan Doucet, Jeremy Costello and Nick Dourado. Following the release of preview singles "Pay It Forward", "I Doubt It" and "Wife Tonight", the album was released in May 2020 on Black Buffalo Records.
In August 2020 he announced that his second album "Bleeding Gums Murphy", a collaboration with DJ and producer Uncle Fester, would be released on October 9.
