Snotty Nose Rez Kids tore into the music scene with an unforgettable name and something to prove.
Showing off their lyrical prowess and natural storytelling ability, Yung Trybez and Young D, jumpstarted the band with two back-to-back albums in 2017, the latter, “The Average Savage,” grabbing national media attention and accolades, including a Juno nomination, and a Western Canadian Music Award.
Since then, the band have gone on to dominate in Hip Hop music, and have pushed past any pigeonholing labels like ‘Indigenous Rapper,` to becoming acknowledged within the general Hip Hop landscape.
SNRK are blazing their own path, weaving together a musical fabric of hard hitting lyricism, revealing stories about the struggles they and their people have encountered, empowering protest songs for the front lines, and a humor that keeps even the heaviest of topics something you can vibe to. SNRK`s other-worldly live show can only be described as an experience you have to witness.
Their energy and creativity on stage has build this duo into a touring force. In 2019 alone, the band clocked in at 100 live shows. Recently coming off their first North American Headline tour of 40 shows, the band have been enjoying a game-changing 2022 with their recent album, Life After (2021) landing them Album of the Year at the Indie Awards, a Juno Nomination and a performance slot at the 2022 Junos, 3 nominations for the Western Canadian Music Awards, and the Polaris Prize long-list.
Four albums deep with no signs of slowing down, SNRK are steadily building themselves into the global phenomenon they wish had been present for them when they were kids. Always with the youth of tomorrow in their minds, they are opening doors for Indigenous youth to finally see themselves represented in the mainstream music industry.
