“WHEN IT’S HARDER WORK TO SILENCE MYSELF THAN TO TALK, I TALK.”

If you’re interested in knowing a bit about me, here’s the bio.

I’ve been an emcee for a long time—the kind of kid pushing burnt CDs out of my backpack in high school. Since then, I’ve done plenty of bar shows, dropped more albums than I can remember, and stayed experimenting with sounds and styles. I’ve always made music for the love of it. These days, the stage is cool—but creating in my own time, my own way, is where I’m at.

My music’s available on all streaming platforms—just search Doobyis, or head to the Music section here. These days, it’s a single here or there, or an album when it makes sense. When I’ve built enough with a certain producer, or a theme naturally forms, I’ll release something. Most of my new stuff is recorded live during Twitch studio streams. For me, it’s about the process—writing, creating, learning. The release is secondary. I’ve got a deep vault already, and I’m always adding to it. Sometimes I feel like sharing.

My main focus lately is my shows: ATSIC (After The Smoke Is Clear) and Fly in Formation.

I launched ATSIC in late 2019 on CKXU to spotlight Canada’s thriving—but often overlooked—Hip Hop scenes. It’s a weekly mix show of brand-new, never-repeated Canadian Hip Hop, curated like a mixtape. I host and build the playlists, blending styles from Boom Bap to Trap to Drill—as long as there’s lyricism.

DJ Dice, a good friend and turntable vet out of Edmonton, joins when he can and brings serious experience to the mix. I’m also learning the ropes myself, working week by week to keep the mixes smooth between tracks. ATSIC is about supporting dope indie artists—not just replaying what’s already trending, but by building weekly experiences. I try to be the kind of host I always wished existed.

The show airs Mondays at 9 PM and Thursdays at 11 PM MT on CKXU.com, with Mixcloud archives and weekly writeups in the Posts section of the site.

The show covers all styles—Boom Bap, Trap, Drill—as long as there’s lyricism. Starting in Season 6 (2025), ATSIC became 100% Canadian content. Earlier seasons hit 75% and up, with the occasional Wu-Tang feature still sneaking into the intros. I spend a lot of time digging for new music from across the country. If you’re making music in Canada, send it my way—let’s build. Let’s talk on FiF.

To go deeper, I launched Fly in Formation in 2022—a companion podcast on YouTube featuring interviews with DJs, emcees, hosts, and Hip Hop heads from across the country. The goal is to spotlight underrepresented cities, artists, and stories—and to build a real network of mutual support.

If you make Hip Hop, host a show, or document your scene—online or on community/college radio in Canada—I want to talk to you. The kulture needs more historians and advocates. Let’s connect.

You’ll find me live on Twitch most weekday afternoons. Here’s what I stream:
– Fly in Formation interviews – Tuesdays
– Making of ATSIC – behind-the-scenes DJ sets and mix prep
– ATSIC Radar – reviewing and reacting to new Canadian rap on Fridays
– Gaming + Digging – casual sessions where I hang out and hunt for gems

Sometimes I’ve got guests, sometimes it’s just me talking to chat and listening to new music. Come by, say hi, hit follow.

Thanks for checking the site.
Stay up.
