D-Sisive

D-Sisive, whose real name is Derek Christoff, was born in Toronto, Canada and first started performing at age 16 in 1996.
He cites everyone from Brian Wilson to Big Pun as influences. He disappeared from the scene in early 2002 only to return in early 2008 with his Ep "The Book". His LP "Let the Children Die" is set for release in February '09 on UrbNet Records.
His material is hauntingly personal and incredibly raw describing his mother's battle with cancer and his fathers struggle with alcohol.
Although he does maintain a dark sense of humor on tracks such as ThisIsWhatItSoundsLike WhenWhiteboysListenToHipHop, where he raps about his father telling him to pull his sagging pants up and asking "did Treach(Naughty By Nature) have to pull his pants up?" Definitely a conversation I can relate to.

D-Sisive plays the Modern in Vancouver on Nov. 17th with Moka Only.
