[1] Duke started in the music business as a dancer for Michie Mee and Dream Warriors.
[1] They followed up with Deliverance in 1999;[7] their efforts to promote Deliverance, in the face of Canadian hip hop's struggle to gain commercial and critical attention in that era, were filmed by Duke's sister Alison for the National Film Board of Canada documentary Raisin' Kane: A Rapumentary, which was released in 2001.
