RPM Podcast #007 - "Native Hip-Hop"

Hip-hop is one of the most popular musical genres in Indian Country. In out seventh episode, we explore why the art of hip-hop has such a strong force in Indigenous music culture. Our host Ostwelve talks with the one and only RedCloud from *** Nation about the shift from Indigneous artists being the "native version" of other artists to standing out as originals. Forerunner in the growing movement of women in hip-hop, Cherokee/Mohawk MC Lakota Jonez weighs in on claiming her place in a male dominated scene. And Cree artist DJ Creeasian draws parallels from b-boy/hip-hop culture to traditional dance, the drum, our elders and our storytelling culture.
