Album Description: "Echoes of Injustice: Voices from the Land"

This powerful and haunting album delves into the tragic realities of police brutality and systemic racism faced by Indigenous communities in Canada. Through a blend of spoken word, raw vocals, and traditional Indigenous sounds, the album paints a vivid picture of the historical and ongoing struggles against colonial oppression.

Each track reflects a different facet of the Indigenous experience, from stories of over-policing, racial profiling, and excessive use of force to the community’s unwavering strength and calls for reform. Featuring collaborations with Indigenous artists, activists, and allies, the album captures both the pain and the hope, the sorrow and the defiance of a people fighting for justice.

"Echoes of Injustice: Voices from the Land" serves as a tribute to those lost to police violence, a call for accountability, and an anthem for the movement toward reconciliation and healing.

Cries Of Justice

In this episode of Reclaiming Our Roots, we dive into the foundations of Indigenous sovereignty across Turtle Island, from the Haudenosaunee Confederacy's democratic governance to the resilience of the Métis Resistance. Host Mr. B, connects these historical movements to the modern-day creation of Nunavut in 1999—a landmark in Inuit self-governance. Highlighting voices like Mary Simon and Sheila Watt-Cloutier, we explore the legacy of traditional knowledge, the Inuit fight for land rights, and the journey toward meaningful sovereignty. Join us to understand how these histories shape the ongoing struggle for Indigenous self-determination today.

"People Just Don’t Understand Freedom"_ is a powerful and thought-provoking track that takes a hard look at the contradictions of freedom in America. As a Mohawk Native American and Dutch descendant, I created this song to challenge the common narrative that freedom in America is an inherent right for everyone. Instead, I expose how the concept of freedom in this country is deeply rooted in hypocrisy, as it was built on the stolen freedoms of my ancestors — both Native American and Dutch settlers who helped shape this nation.

The song is a rendition of Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff’s classic hit "Parents Just Don’t Understand," but reimagined with a more serious and conscious message. In this version, I use the catchy, old-school hip-hop rhythm to deliver sharp, satirical lyrics that confront the misuse of "freedom of speech" and the historical theft of freedoms from Indigenous people and early Dutch settlers.

This song is a commentary on how the freedom that many Americans take for granted today was built on the backs of the very people whose freedoms were stripped away to create the country. By weaving together my Mohawk and Dutch heritage, I aim to highlight the ongoing impact of this historical injustice and how the concept of freedom carries different meanings depending on whose history you're telling.

young indigenous rapper from a small town trying to tell his story 

Update so if you noticed I haven't posted in about 5 days there's a reason behind us I'm suffering from very bad migraine right now which is dangerous could it could lead to an aneurysm especially because the fact I suffer from migraines known as migraneous which are migraines that can go on for a couple days a week or even a month or more So I won't be posting for a while So I hope you enjoy what I do have posted:Born on February 28, 1990, I’m a DJ, rapper, and instrumental beatmaker with deep roots in both music and the land. I’m Mohawk-Dutch, part of the Turtle Clan, born in the Appalachian heart of Pennsylvania’s Poconos and raised in Wilkes-Barre and Scranton. My journey is rooted in that country spirit — though I might be known for my rap tracks, country music flows in my veins, and I can sing it just as naturally as I drop bars.

I started making music young, back in 1999, and I've never stopped. Music’s been my constant, carrying me through every struggle and chapter of my life, right up to today in 2024. My catalog is massive: over 4,770 tracks and snippets fill my archives, each one a piece waiting to be crafted into something real. My process is unique — I record vocals first, then set them aside, moving onto new ones. After that, I dive into beats and instrumentals, layering each track, creating, arranging, and mixing everything when the time’s right. I might still make new songs, but with so many pieces ready to pull together, there’s always something brewing.

I’m into more than rap; I’m a fan of classic country, jazz from the ‘20s and ‘30s, and just about every era that shaped music — from the ‘50s through to the ‘90s. I’m not one for modern sounds past the millennium; it’s the raw, old-school vibe that drives me. My SoundCloud is a glimpse into that journey, a mix of my influences, a blend of rap and country spirit, and the heart of an artist who’s never stopped creating.
