This performance begins with a talkback with Young D and Yung Trybez, moderated by local indigenous musician and artist Tristan Grant (Wolf Castle). Grant, a Mi'kmaw hip-hop artist and producer from Pabineau First Nation, will lead a discussion on the role that indigenous musicians play in the mainstream music industry, as well as influences that SNRK pull on while making creating their music.
Snotty Nose Rez Kids tore onto the music scene in 2016 with unmistakable talent and an unforgettable name. Hailing from the Haisla Nation, Snotty Nose Rez Kids are trailblazers in the world of Indigenous hip-hop. Young D and Yung Trybez have an electrifying stage presence and share a sharp writing style which unapologetically confronts social injustices and the complexities of Indigenous identity. 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. Their follow up album, 2019’s TRAPLINE, launched their career with hit “Boujee Natives”, and multiple awards, including their first JUNO nomination.
The duo then took their high voltage live show on the road and clocked 100 shows in 6 different countries. Their pandemic album, Life After, gained them multiple music magazine cover stories, and strong streaming platform support including an Amazon Twitch Channel Takeover. Taking the album on the road, they received their second JUNO nomination and performed during the live broadcast in 2022.
Their 2022 project, I’M GOOD, HBU? elevated their career to new heights when they were shortlisted for the Polaris Prize (for the fourth time), won for Top Music Video of the Year at the Prism Prize Awards for their Beatles-inspired, DAMN RIGHT, and won 3 Western Canadian Music Awards.
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.
