D-Sisive - Every Rose Has Its Thorn
Dear friends,
For the past month and a half I’ve been locked up in the studio with producer extraordinaire Andrew “Fresh Kils” Kilgour (Shania Twain, ACDC, Jon Secada) recording the follow up to my Multi-Platinum, Latin Grammy Award-Winning debut LP, Let The Children Die. Though we are near completion, we are still a few months away from the release of Vaudeville.
Not being prolific is something I’ve been guilty of. Ive been attacked in the press, and insulted by fans for leaving them dry without new material. Its been days since my name has appeared on a blog, and for that, some devoted listeners have deemed me dead. Its been weeks since Ive released new music, and for that I apologize. Im not a machine. Im merely a man. Flesh and bones. A robot, I am not.
Which is why I’ve decided to give you a taste. A lick of the spoon. A nibble of the cake. A swig of the sauce. A swallow of Vaudeville.
I selected the song that best represents where Im going, yet never abandoning where Ive been. Underground Hip-Hop, but with a twist. A journalist for Black Hair Magazine once labeled me The Bret Michaels of Rap. Now Im ready to proudly wear that crown. Or Cowboy Hat. A spiky brimmed, solid gold cowboy hat covered with jewels. Sitting atop a gold dipped bandana covered with emeralds that cannot be ruined by sweat.
Ladies & Gentlemen, I proudly present to you…
Every Rose Has Its Thorn.

The Reign (produced by:Muneshine)
A dedication to 3 of the most brilliant contributors to Hip-Hop.
This song was released on the iTunes version of Let The Children Die
(urbnet.2009). Not on the retail version.
My apologies if anyone is offended by the language. I decided to leave
the verses as they were written. Altering them would have been a major
insult to the art they created.
RIP.BIG:BIGL:BIGPUN.

D-Sisive - Anvil (new single)
Dear friends, This is my official press release. For IMMEDIATE RELEASE. Weird.
My label (urbnet) usually takes care of these things. Take a few paragraphs from my bio. Add a sentence describing whatever it is they’re trying to promote. Throw in a quote that I spend hours carefully crafting. Bam! Press release.
Not this time. I wanted to write it myself.
Many things inspired me in 2009, but not all moved me the way Anvil! The Story of Anvil (documentary) and Dead Man’s Bones (LP) did. I knew I had to involve the two in my own work, somehow. And here it is.
‘Anvil’ is an updated ‘Brian Wilson’, combined with samples from the documentary, Anvil!, over the composition ‘Werewolf Head’. One delicious lawsuit waiting to happen.
If you haven’t seen Anvil, please do. If you haven’t heard Dead Man’s Bones, please do.

Hope you enjoy the song. And thank you for making 2009 an incredible year.
Sincerely,
Derek Christoff (aka. D-Sisive)
Ps. Rappers…It’s OK to compliment other rappers.

D-Sisive - Jonestown - Free Download
You know where you are? You’re in the jungle, baby.
D-Sisive returns with his newest creation, Jonestown. The free album is the follow up to his Polaris Long-Listed album ‘Let The Children Die’, which featured the SOCAN/Echo award winning song ‘Nobody With A Notepad’.
“It’s the Kool Aid,” describes D-Sisive of his newest LP. The Juno nominated artist decided to take a break from his dark/depressing content to focus on the “punchline/battle-rap” style he became known for in the late nineties. The album boasts production from heavyweights Muneshine (Sean Price), Moss (Ghostface, Obie Trice), Anonymous Twist (Planet Asia), Murr (LAL, formerly of The Grassroots), Toronto-born/NY-based Marco Polo (Heltah Skeltah, Masta Ace), 9th Uno and Shinogo. Toronto artist Slim Twig (paper bag records) also makes an appearance on the Shinogo produced ‘Around The World’. The Muneshine produced single ‘West Coast’ is already charting across the country.
“It’s a secret,” laughs D-Sisive after asked to explain the connection between the album’s content and it’s title. Jonestown will be released Wednesday, November 18, 2009, also marking the 31st anniversary of the Jonestown Massacre.
D-Sisive:Jonestown is available exclusively through www.d-sisive.com

D-SISIVE’S “NOBODY WITH A NOTEPAD” TAKES SOCAN’S FOURTH ANNUAL ECHO SONGWRITING PRIZE
SOCAN (The Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada) is pleased to announce Derek Christoff (a.k.a. D-Sisive) and Robert Baker as winners of the fourth annual ECHO Songwriting Prize for the song “Nobody with a Notepad.” D-SISIVE RELEASES MR. DAYDREAM (VIDEO)
D-Sisive has just released the video for his latest single Mr. Daydream from the critically acclaimed album, Let The Children Die.
Directed by the visionary Gemini Award winner Miles Davren, Mr. Daydream explores the feelings of loss and the struggle to differentiate between fantasty and reality in trying times. An emotionally visceral video experience, with contrasting elements of black and white switched with colour, old and new, child and adult, and many more – it leaves the viewer in a raw, dreamy and contemplative state.
Otherwise known as Derek Christoff, Torontonian D-Sisive, has always been known for pushing the boundaries in his music. Often citing David Bowie and The Beach Boys as sources of inspiration, he has further pulled from his own afflictions to create the eclectic sound for Let The Children Die. A Juno and a Polaris Prize long listed nominee, and an all around phenomenal talent –D-Sisive has further proved his innovative skills from with this masterwork of a vid
