Travis Fleetwood (born November 20, 1988),[1] known as Organik, is the founder and part owner of King of the Dot,[2] a battle rap league based in Toronto, Ontario.
Organik has won several battle rap competitions, including BET's 2006 and 2008 “Canadian Spring Bling” and “Battle Of The Headz”. He is a three-time champion of ChangePromotion’s Battle King Events and also won Toronto’s “Proud2BEhBattleMC” event three times.[1]
In 2011, Organik was a judge on the Ultimate MC TV show alongside Royce da 5'9", Sean Price, Planet Asia, and Pharoahe Monch.[3]
Organik started King of the Dot in 2008. He has been credited with developing battle rap talent[4] as the founder, CEO, Toronto and host[5] of King of the Dot, specialising in booking talent from other battle leagues.
On November 5, 2011, he organized a battle between battle rappers Dizaster and DNA. DNA, during the battle, declared plans to "air a Bic" in reference to Dizaster's Arabic heritage. Organik co-hosted this event with Canadian hip hop artist Drake, who gave both battlers $750 for taking part.
Organik lives in Toronto, and was previously employed as a steel worker.[6] He eventually dropped out of this job to run his own battle league.
