Dead Celebrity Status is a Canadian hip-hop group originating in Toronto, Ontario. Rappers Yas Taalat and Bobby McIntosh, both former members of the rock/rap band Project Wyze, teamed up with onetime DMC World Champion DJ Dopey to form Dead Celebrity Status in 2003.
History
Following the breakup of Project Wyze, Yas and Bobby began writing and recording new material under a new label, Bodog Music. Dead Celebrity Status had been created, but the MCs felt that there was a missing component. They called upon DJ Dopey, an internationally renowned DJ to complete the group.
They partnered with producer Danny Saber, who has worked with acts like The Rolling Stones, U2, and Busta Rhymes to name a few. Saber?s connections allowed the group to feature high profile artists on their debut album, Blood Music, which was released in 2006. The album features collaborations with artists such as Joss Stone, Dave Navarro, Stephen Perkins, Bif Naked, Twiggy Ramirez, and DJ Lethal. ?We Fall, We Fall? was the first single off of the album. The track features the guitar talents of Dave Navarro and the lyrics address unreal expectations from pop culture and the music industry. ?Messiah,? a track from Blood Music, was featured on the soundtrack of the 2005 movie XXX: State of the Union.
Dead Celebrity Status was one of the acts featured in the 2006 North American Warped Tour. They were the opening act for Tech N9ne?s American tour in 2007.
They are currently in the studio, recording material for the next album.
