Directed by Carla Robinson, the Vancouver-filmed episode masterfully paired the fast-rhyming rappers with acclaimed muralist and arts educator KC Hall, taking us on an artistic journey that celebrates the urban Indigenous experience. The episode, which I had the pleasure of watching last night, is nothing short of excellent. It artfully captures the creative synergy between Snotty Nose Rez Kids and KC Hall as they craft a new track and artwork that resonate with cultural depth and authenticity

The real highlight of the night, however, was the premiere of the music video for “Paint the Town Red ( on YouTube and also on the episode – spoiler alert if you haven’t saw it yet)
