Native American Rapper “Supaman” Combines Traditional Music With The Modern

Supaman just became MTV’s number 1 rapper of the week. Other newsflash…apparently MTV still plays music these days? 

I don’t EVER post rap or hip hop music on this blog. But I thought what this artist was doing was creative enough for me to break a few rules. In the video above, the Native American Rapper Supaman combines the traditional instruments and song of his people with his own rapping and modern style dancing.

If you are interested in learning more about this artist, read his interview here.

Another interesting article “Rapping on the Reservation” (NPR), Supaman discusses how Native Americans can relate to the struggles of the inner city, in terms of issues like poverty, teenage pregnancy, crime, drugs and alcohol.
