About Snotty Nose Rez Kids:
Snotty Nose Rez Kids, the Indigenous Hip-Hop duo hailing from the Haisla Nation in British Columbia, Canada, tore into the music scene in 2016 with unmistakable talent and an unforgettable name. Showing off their lyrical prowess and natural storytelling ability, Yung Trybez and Young D jumpstarted the band with two back-to-back albums: The Average Savage (2017) and Snotty Nose Rez Kids (2018). Their follow-up album, 2019’s Trapline, launched their career with the hit “Boujee Natives” and multiple awards, including their first JUNO Award nomination.
The band took their high-voltage live show on the road and clocked 100 shows in six different countries. Their pandemic album, Life After, saw greater industry recognition with multiple music magazine cover stories, strong streaming platform support, playlist cover images, and an Amazon Twitch Channel Takeover. Taking the album on the road, the band toured 80 shows across North America. They received their second JUNO Award nomination in 2022 and performed during the live broadcast. Their 2022 project, ‘I’M GOOD, HBU?’ elevated their career to new heights and saw them receive their fourth Polaris Prize Shortlist, a win for Top Music Video of the Year at the Prism Prize Awards for their Beatles-inspired “Damn Right” and four Western Canadian Music Award nominations, bringing their tally to 14 nominations and ten wins to date.
SNRK has gone on to dominate in hip-hop music, most recently achieving its biggest milestone, signing with a major label, Sony Music Entertainment Canada. SNRK is blazing its own trail, 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.
