Dead Celebrity Status

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, Limore Twena and DJ Lethal. “We Fall, We Fall” was the first single from 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 film 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.

DCS has announced on their website () that their second album was scheduled to be released on August 6, 2013.
