No Reservations
If there is one voice that carries as much weight and significance in Canadian hip-hop in the tradition of Public Enemy, KRS-ONE and Rage Against the Machine, it is what the native peoples of our country have to say up upon the microphone.
Lead by groups like War Party, Tru Rez and Vancouver MC Manik, native hip-hop is set to take things to new levels and awareness. Interestingly enough, War Party's 4th full length release, the Resistance, will feature none other than legendary Public Enemy MC Chuck D himself!
Here is a great read on what's what and who's who in Canadian native hip-hop:
