Snotty Nose Rez Kids’ songs are anthems about being unapologetically Indigenous —and being themselves has paid off with four albums, international tours and numerous awards to back it up.
Darren “Young D” Metz and Quinton “Yung Trybez” Nyce are from the Haisla Nation in B.C. and grew up in Kitimaat Village. Now the rap duo is shaking up the music world.“We wouldn't put our heart and soul into something we don't believe in,” Metz agreed.
“It was the centre of everything,” Nyce said. “It’s what meant more than anything to Indigenous people out here.”“A lot of us are [the] first or second generation to not go to residential school, you know what I mean, so there’s a lot of unlearning to do from this system that has been built,” Nyce said.
