Snotty Nose Rez Kids

Snotty Nose Rez Kids (SNRK) are an Indigenous hip-hop duo from the Haisla Nation in Kitamaat Village, British Columbia, made up of Yung Trybez and Young D. Known for their fearless lyricism, sharp humor, and genre-bending production, SNRK use hip-hop as a tool for resistance, storytelling, and cultural pride.

Blending trap, boom-bap, and experimental sounds with biting social commentary, Snotty Nose Rez Kids confront colonialism, systemic injustice, and Indigenous stereotypes head-on—while celebrating survival, resilience, and community. Their music moves effortlessly between satire and sincerity, equally capable of making listeners laugh, rage, and reflect.

Since their breakout, SNRK have earned critical acclaim and multiple awards, including Juno Awards, and have become leading voices in contemporary Indigenous music. Whether performing on international stages or speaking truth from the rez, Snotty Nose Rez Kids represent a new generation of Indigenous artists reshaping hip-hop on their own terms—unapologetic, unfiltered, and undeniably powerful.
