Dubmatique were a francophone hip hop group from Montreal, Quebec. They were the first French language hip hop crew to break through to the mainstream francophone pop charts in Canada.
They have released three albums: La force de comprendre in 1997, Dubmatique in 1998 and Influences in 2001. The group consisted of rappers Ousmane "OT mc" Traore and Jérôme "Disoul" Belinga. Alain "DJ Choice" Benabdallah appeared on their first two albums; he subsequently left the group, and OT MC and Disoul continued with guest DJs on the group's final album.
The group's style has an acid jazz/R&B flow similar to Gangstarr and Fugees.
Guest musicians on their albums have included Éric Lapointe, Shurik'n, Akhénaton and Ashley MacIsaac.
Traore went on to form the production company Delaballe.
