ABOUT ME

Here is my Bio from my website...

ProfessorD.us (pronounced Professor D dot U.S.), artist, academic and activist, leads The Dope Poet Society, one of Canada’s most compelling Hip Hop acts. With uncanny lyrical skill he has been setting fire to bangin’ beats since the group’s critically acclaimed debut in 1997. In 2005 they sold over 17,000 units of their forth CD, ProIntelPro: Promote Intelligence Program, to become one of the top selling independent groups in Canadian Hip Hop History. Mentored by Public Enemy leader Chuck D, ProfessorD.us is among the next generation representing the reassertion of Hip Hop as a tool to empower and uplift all people and aid in the struggles against oppression worldwide. Respected by Hip Hop greats and globally renowned in the underground, ProfessorD.us is poised to make a major impact in 2008.

His new album, THIRD WORLD WARriors Vol. 1, features remarkable lyrical prowess, tremendous beats and musicianship, and an army of noteworthy guest appearances. In addition to exciting up-and-coming Canadian talent, the album features exceptional performances by Jeru The Damaja, M-1 of dead prez and the godfather of Canadian Hip Hop, Maestro (Fresh Wes), among others. With his outstanding new album, ProfessorD.us is set to raise the bar, make Canadian Hip Hop history once again, and assert himself as a true international Hip Hop heavyweight.

Global Exposure
ProfessorD.us regularly performs across North America and around the world. He has toured North, Central and South America as well as West Africa and parts of Europe. This winter he will be touring throughout Southern Africa, Europe and Asia. ProfessorD.us has garnered airplay on radio stations around the world and been seen on networks as diverse as NBC, CNN, BET, CTV, MuchMusic, MuchVibe, City TV, TVO, as well as overseas on Cuban National Television, Antenne 2 (France, worldwide), Channel O (South Africa, continent wide), and GBC (Ghana, national), and many others.

Support
The Dope Poet Society has toured, performed and/or recorded with De La Soul, Dead Prez, Brand Nubian, Wyclef Jean, Smiff’n’Weson, Jeru The Damaja, CL Smooth, Immortal Technique, Special Ed, Boot Camp Click, and Public Enemy, among others. Often, the industry’s ‘up and comers’ are first recognized by the established artists in their field, and are predicted to be ‘the next big thing.’ Artists such as Tupac and Jay-Z were favourites among artists before the public or record companies knew who they were. Chuck D, one of the first people to recognize Tupac’s talent, has rated The Dope Poet Society as the number one independent group in the world. The average North American may not yet have heard of ProfessorD.us, but ask Wyclef Jean, Dead Prez or Maestro, what they think and you’ll get rave reviews.
