"Getting out art out there it’s making turtle island, and Canada, and America a lot more of a beautiful place to live,” said Quinton "Yung Trybez" Nyce.
The Snotty Nose Rez Kids are two indigenous artists and friends who spread the message of truth and reconciliation through rap.
“Since the beginning we’ve always told our story the way it was meant to be told. We spoke our truths, raw and unconditionally, and unapologetically to be honest,” said Quinton “Yung Trybez” Nyce of the Snotty Nose Rez Kids.
“We’ve always wanted our story to be told from our words, instead of having someone else do it elsewise you know, because it’s from the source,” said Darren “Yung D” Metz, the second half of the Snotty Nose Rez Kids.
They were inspired by hearing other indigenous rappers on radio, and T.V.
“For us just being on the rez, we’re just like yo, what, there’s native rappers out there, they’re doing it, we could do it, you know that’s what we wanna do, we wanna inspire the youth.”
Metz and Nyce hope other kids are inspired by their work the same way they were inspired by others.
“I think when indigenous people hear our stories it’s like really empowering for them because like D said earlier, representation matters, so for us it’s like just being able to see ourselves, hear our stories, and just being able to relate to something on a mainstream level is huge,” said Nyce.
He believes their work plays a role in truth and reconciliation.
