Backburner (hip hop group)

Backburner is a Canadian underground hip hop group and musical collective, formed by frequent collaborators Fresh Kils, Uncle Fester, Dexter Doolittle, and Process in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 2001. Their name comes from their habit of starting new projects and leaving others on the back burner.[1]
