Hip Hop Spreading a Message in Indian Country
Indigenous Youth in Oregon Tell a Different Story About “Rez Life”

OCT 5, 2015, Portland, OR - Last March in Seattle, a small group of young Native American musicians met for a 3-day songwriting retreat led by legendary recording engineer Uncle Rick Clifford (former chief engineer at Death Row Records), where they wrote and recorded what would become the first single on the new project by Blue Flamez, “Rez Life,” coming out on Portland-based Ibori Records this month.  Scott Kalama AKA Blue Flamez, has been a mentor in training with the music empowerment program Beats Lyrics Leaders, and on this track youth from the program join Scott to tell the world about life on the Indian Reservation, strictly from their perspective.  It’s a hard core West Coast Hiphop song reminiscent of Too Short, punctuated with flute, drumming and native humor.  The five minute music videos draws on footage from all over the Pacific Northwest, keeping with a cultural vibe that could only exist between contemporary West Coast Hiphop and thousands of years of Indigenous wisdom and history. 
As copies of the debut EP wait to hit online distribution centers like Apple Music and Spotify, the video is spreading like wild-fire on Youtube and the songs can be streamed and downloaded for free during the prerelease on Soundcloud.
