Snotty Nosed Rez Kids - Creator Made An Animal

Snotty Nosed Rez Kids are a BC First Nation hip-hop duo composed of Darren "Young D" Metz and Quinton "Yung Trybez" Nyce. The Polaris Prize shortlisted group stated in a press release that this song was their way of paying homage to the place they call home as their spirit awaken and their people rise up. It carries aggressive and assertive energy that imitates the way society portrays indigenous people and people of colour across Turtle Island.

“Our ancestors were stereotyped as savages, and we are often regarded as the pissed-off generation who haven’t gotten over what colonization has done to our lands and our people. Through stylish delivery, we proclaim ourselves as the Father 7th Generation and let the world know that we aren’t changing for anyone. The future is ours,” stated Snotty Nose Rez Kids.
