Da Gryptions is a Canadian hip-hop band from Montreal, Quebec, formed in 2009. The band consists of Future Shark (vocals), Dark Science (vocals), Apsobibi (R&B Vocals), and Ripples (Hype-man) and features the studio skills of Liam O’Neil.
History
The group had the idea to form the group while car pooling to ball hockey.[1] While initially it was just going to be a faux hip-hop act, they started doing DJ sets around Montreal, eventually putting together a live show.
After doing a few shows “freestyling”, someone had videotaped one of these shows, with Apsobibi doing a chorus about Montreal’s public bike system the Bixi. A producer at CJAD in Montreal came across this video and asked if the band could do a studio version that they could play on the air.[2] After shooting a video for the track, it went viral hitting 7,000 plays in 2 days[3] and 34,000 to date.[4] The band played the Osheaga Festival that summer and were played on CBC[5] MusiquePlus as well.
The Bixi Anthem was named the #4 song of the year by the Montreal Gazette in their year-end wrapup.[6]
