Dirty Circus is a Canadian hip hop group, initially consisting of Metty the DertMerchant, Mos Eisley, and DJ Itchy Ron of the music collective Sweatshop Union. [1]
Metty, Eisley, and DJ Itchy Ron began performing on the local hip hop scene in their hometown of Vancouver in 2000.[ citation needed ] They collaborated with Pigeon Hole (then known as "Creative Minds"), among others, to self-publish their first album Wildlife Canada. In 2005, they released their second album Over Easy, featuring more local hip-hop artists. A year later they would also end up re-issuing their Over Easy album as Over Easy V.2.
They later formed Sweatshop Union with Pigeon Hole and other local Vancouver hip-hop artists that they had collaborated with in the past.[ citation needed ]
Dirty Circus released their first album as a duo (without DJ Itchy Ron), Alive and Well, in 2010 on URBNET Records. [2] [3] As well as the two main rappers, the album features a number of guest musicians. [4] The album's lead single, "Into the Sun", features contributions from Geo of Blue Scholars and Shad. Others on the album include Bootie Brown, Chin Injeti, Rhettmatic, and Rob the Viking. [2]
Alive and Well appeared on the EarShot campus and community radio hip hop chart in July and August that year. [5] It was one of three albums released on the same day by side projects of Sweatshop Union, alongside Pigeon Hole's Age Like Astronauts and Trillionaire$' By Hook or by Crook. [2]
