Documented collaborators

Dead Obies are a pioneering Montreal-based collective known for their franglais lyrics and genre-blurring approach to hip hop. Formed in 2011 on the South Shore of Montreal by MCs Snail Kid, 20Some, O.G. Bear, Joe Rocca, Yes McCan, and producer VNCE CARTER, the group helped redefine the boundaries of Canadian hip hop with their experimental sound and high-energy live shows. Their music blends elements of experimental hip hop, post-rap, and punk rap, switching between French and English to reflect the city’s bilingual identity.
