Indigenous Hip-hop Duo Snotty Nose Rez Kids Celebrate Their Community On “Something Else”
Critically-acclaimed Indigenous hip-hop duo Snotty Nose Rez Kids have honoured National Indigenous Peoples Day with their new single and video “Something Else”. Originating from the frustration and uproar associated with the exclusion of the Indigenous population from last year’s U.S. election’s results, label as “something else”, the pair of Yung Trybez and Young D unleash their engaging flow and dynamite production to celebrate some of the Indigenous community’s top creatives, influencers and changemakers.
“The community was able to look on the bright side even though news media still fail to see and recognize us as human beings. No matter what label you throw at us, we know who we are and where we come from,” says Young D.
Yung Trybez adds, “Indigenous Peoples Day celebrates Indigenous excellence! So, we wanted to bring together a deadly group of social influencers making noise on the scene. From actors to dancers, activists, clothing designers, models, to storytellers, we brought everyone together to showcase what they do best. Director, Sterling Larose, got the vision and delivered a fire video that jumps between the video and behind the scenes, offers up our style of humor, and highlights the best of Indigenous excellence.”
The video blends over-the-top graphics and greenscreen with behind-the-scenes clips. Featured creatives include TikTok star James Jones (aka Notorious Cree), Miss Universe 2015 Ashley Callingbull, actor/director, Grace Dove, SNRK’s official DJ and a badass creative, DJ Kookum, Two-Spirit creative, designer and stylist, Scott Wabano, curator/dancer/model, Kendra Jessie, artist and environmental scientist Nikita Elysa, Matriarch Movement Founder Shayla Stonechild, Section 35 clothing company Co-Founder, Justin Jacob Louis, and influencer, Michelle Chub (aka Indigenous Baddie).
