Snotty Nose Rez Kids is a Canadian hip-hop duo of Haisla (Indigenous) descent from Kitimat, BC, composed of rappers Yung Trybez and Young D. Ending 2020 with two single releases and music videos, “Where They At,” and “Screaming Indian,” the duo picked up Best Hip Hop Artist and Best Indigenous artist at the Western Canadian Music Awards (WCMA’s).

Staying quiet for the first few months of 2021, SNRK are back with a deadly new track. When CNN was reporting voting demographics during the past presidential election coverage, they decided to call the section of Indigenous voters “Something Else.” Indigenous Twitter and TikTok blew up with outrage, but also a reclamation of the term by turning something negative into a positive using humour and truth. The community was able to look on the bright side despite media outlets’ failure to recognize them as human beings.
