B.C. Duo Snotty Nose Rez Kids Stream New Single “Cops With Guns Are the Worst!!!”

Published

Kitimat, BC’s Haisla hip-hop duo, Snotty Nose Rez Kids, which consists of rappers Yung Trybez and Young D, have unveiled their latest single, “Cops With Guns Are the Worst!!!” The song is lifted from the forthcoming EP, Born Deadly, which drops on April 3rd, and will be supported by the twosome’s first-ever U.S. headlining tour.

The track, which follows the single “Real Deadly,” is a response to the Wet’suwet’en pipeline protests, currently taking place across Canada. The artists collectively commented, saying, “People close to us have been on the ground day-in and day-out putting their lives on the line to protect all our futures. We’re obviously frustrated by the lack of respect for Indigenous land rights and ownership but watching the RCPM arresting our people for defending their land and protecting their territory, we felt rage. There’s such a long history of RCMP inflicting violence on our people and that rage boiled over into this song. Cops With Guns Are The Worst!!! is a rager and for us this was the only way to tell that story. We see the Indigenous youth leading the current blockades. They’re fighting not just for the future of tomorrow, but for the future of today. This song was made specifically for them.”
