Belonging in the Mix: Indigenous and Minority Popular Musics in the Canadian Hip Hop Mainstream
Whose sounds fit in the nation-state? Countering histories of erasure, this essay investigates the role of hip hop music in articulating Black and Native histories and presence in Canada.

Research with musicians and teachers in Minnesota and Manitoba indicates that Anishinaabemowin/English popular music encourages revernacularization by extending…

Like earlier hip hop that inspires it, I…
