Dead Obies are a dynamic and cutting-edge music collective hailing from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, known for their unique blend of hip-hop with a variety of other genres, including elements of punk, rock, and poetry. Their roots go back to the vibrant Francophone hip-hop scene but they've carved out a distinctive niche by incorporating English and French in their lyrics—a reflection of Montréal's multicultural fabric. The group initially captured attention with their bold mixtape "Collation Vol. 1" in 2013, followed by their critically acclaimed debut album "Montréal $ud," which solidified their status within the Canadian music landscape with its gritty narratives and pulsing beats, depicting urban life and youth culture.

With evocative projects like "Collation Vol. 2 - Limon Verde: La Experiencia" and the charged album "Gesamtkunstwerk," Dead Obies have continued to push creative boundaries, mixing live instrumentation with electronically produced sounds, and earning themselves a reputation as one of the most innovative acts within Quebec’s music scene. Titles like "Air Max" and "Monnaie" attest to their willingness to tackle a wide array of subjects, from materialism to identity struggles, with incisive wit and rhythmic prowess. Their most recent compositions, such as "DEAD.", "André", and "Run Away" exhibit an evolution in their style, showcasing a maturity in their artistry and a commitment to their craft that keeps fans eagerly awaiting what they have in store next.
