Snotty Nose Rez Kids Score Big With "'96 Bulls" Featuring Drezus

By Megan Routledge.

The Hip-Hop duo Snotty Nose Rez Kids, comprised of Yung Trybez and Young D, release their latest single, “’96 Bulls,” featuring Drezus. This electrifying track is a slam dunk with its dynamic lyrics and high-energy beats, drawing inspiration from the world of basketball and their Indigenous culture.

With a love for basketball running deep in their veins, it’s no surprise these two legends are comparing their journey to the iconic ’96 Chicago Bulls and the trio of Jordan, Rodman, and Pippen. They’re reaching for the stars, not just for themselves, but to inspire Indigenous youth to chase their dreams and leave their mark on the Hip-Hop world. Their impact isn’t just about music; they’re building a squad of like-minded individuals, just like a championship-winning team.

“The ’96 Bulls team was the most legendary team of all time,” said Yung Trybez. “’96 Bulls,’ for us, is about building a team that’s legendary status. It’s about building a legacy and the legacy that we’re trying to attain is so important to us because of who looks up to us: the youth of future generations.” He continued, “we can always look back to the ’96 Bulls and say that was one of the greatest teams of all time and likewise, we want Indigenous youth to look back at Snotty Nose Rez Kids and say that was one of the greatest rap groups of all time. We are here to leave something behind that people will remember. It’s all about us making history and the ’96 Bulls made history.”

The song “’96 Bulls” is a fusion of sharp wordplay and slick rhythmic cadences, capturing the essence of basketball’s adrenaline-fuelled spirit while representing their grind, commitment to their craft, and foundations they are building for their community. This track marks their 4th collab with Drezus; their most recent on 2020 single “Where They At,” which won them a SOCAN Music Award.

Snotty Nose Rez Kids are currently on their Hot Planet Tour in North America, which runs into 2024.
