Formed in 2016, the Haisla Nation hip-hop duo Snotty Nose rez Kids, from Kitimat, B.C. – composed of rappers Yung Trybez (Quinton Nyce) and Young D (Darren Metz) – have won both Best Hip-Hop Artist and Breakout Artist at the Western Canadian Music Awards; have been shortlisted twice, back-to-back, for the Polaris Prize; and have earned a JUNO Award nomination. Now they’re starting to swim in the mainstream, with coverage in the Toronto Star and on the CTV National News, and headlining performances in the U.S.
In a video interview with SOCAN just after the release of their new album Life After, SNRK talk about surviving the past few years, how their personal is automatically political, and following in the footsteps of giants.
