=============================
While the art of turntablism continues to please audiences across the world, it goes without saying that DJ Dopey has played an integral part in its global success. Having performed as a DJ/Turntablist alongside pioneers like DJ Q-Bert, DJ Craze, DJ Jazzy Jeff and Mix Master Mike, Dopey solidified his role amongst these innovative DJ’s formally by winning the most coveted DJ title of them all, he became 2003’s WORLD DMC CHAMPION. In addition to his World DMC win he is no stranger to the world DJ battle circuit. His other 1st place titles include 2001 Allies All Star Beatdown Champion as well as 2002/2003 Vestax Canadian Champion among others.
As a founding member of the Turntable Monkz, and now a certified world champion, DJ Dopey took the opportunity to tour the world a few times over sharing stages with artists such as Eminem, Madlib, Slum Village, Frank N Dank, Kardinal Offishall, and Gang Starr. He continues his globetrotting by carrying out his seasoned successes as a key group member of Notes to Self. As one of Canada’s premiere talents, DJ Dopey has also collaborated and has contributed to other projects with artists such as Saukrates, Choclair and DCS.
In his 10 years as a DJ/Turntablist, Dopey has accomplished a great deal; he has “battled” his way to the top!!!

Event: Gift of Gab (from Blackalicious) – Live in Edmonton

Filed under Edmonton Hip Hop, Events
GIFT OF GAB from the acclaimed duo Blackalicious is often praised by critics for his often fast-paced, multi-syllabic, and complex rhymes. With 3 successful albums “Nia”, “Blazing Arrow” and “The Craft”, this California native has toured world wide and worked with top indie Hip Hop artists to bring tru-skool Hip Hop to the masses.
Allmusic says he is “one of the very finest MCs to ever pick up a microphone, “one of the best underground rappers in the business”, “his raps are jam-packed with internal rhymes, allusions, metaphors, ten-cent words, and amazing tongue-twisting feats of skill”, and he has been able to “redefine the art of lyrical technique”.
Peter Shapiro describes him as “a walking encyclopedia of MCing styles”,
Pitchfork Media refers to his “astonishing verbal dexterity and enunciation”,
Popmatters says he has a “nearly impenetrable reputation for style and innovation”,
and Stylus Magazine calls him “one of the top MCs in the game”
Don’t miss one of the best Emcee’s around today!
