Throughout this season the Toronto team will pay tribute to players who have played over the years, and last night the franchise showed their appreciation to 'Air Canada' the greatest player to suit up in their 20 year history, Vince Carter.

Toronto artist @iamtheLindoP (Lindo P) released his tribute track a few months back, dedicated to fallen teenager #TrayvonMartin; who's story and name will now be a part of American history. Lindo P who is active in the dancehall and club scene in Toronto, is a former member of hip-hop artist collective out of Scarborough, Ontario 'Black Jays', who intro themselves in the 1990's - the group included Kardinal Offishall, Solitair, Estelle, Nina Sky, and more.

Lindo P's tribute track has no formal song title; simply dedicating the track to Trayvon Martin and other young black men (Travares McGill, Oscar Grant, Sean Bell, and Aaron Campbell to name a few) who were also killed; and in the eyes of many seeing injustice as a reflection on these lives taken away and also largely on the unfair treatment of African Americans in the United States within the U.S. justice system.

Lindo P's tribute contains sample of hip hop heavy weight  BDP (Boogie Down Productions) 'Jack Of Spades'.
