VICE, QC Dead Obies: Made au Québec (2015– ) Online

Post-rap group Dead Obies grew up in French, in Montreal and its suburbs, but they unapologetically blend in a lot of English in their lyrics. Much like their fans, they have only vague memories of the last referendum, if any at all. They are part of a generation that doesn't have any hang-ups about the national language. In the debut of VICE Dossiers Quebec, Simon Coutu meets with Dead Obies, who put the Frenglish movement in Quebec on the map. VICE follows them in studio, on the road, and backstage to get a sense of what the movement really looks like. They discuss the music industry's refusal to fund them, the Quebec media's misguided attempts to blame them for a "decline of French," and the new aesthetic avenues "franglais" opens to rappers.
