Can Native Americans rhyme? Oh yes they can. Sorry, forgot to mention he has a sprinkle of Mexican ;) Entering the L.A. underground Hip-Hop Scene in 1988, by way of the Yukon Intermediate Talent Show, Red Cloud took first place on a Beastie Boy influenced ditty. These days the influence is Christ as Lord and Savior evidenced in his music and lifestyle. What can I say, original, deep, eccentric, buck wild, crazy!! All I can say is that it should be part of your collection. I'll have to agree and call it what the Sackcloth Boys call it, Indigenous Hip-Hop! Hit the mp3 site and check out Musical Aggression feat. Christafari to see what I mean. Be prepared to hit the rewind button. This kid is lyrically ill, mensa qualified, and another example of an emcee that can outshine the world's offerings.
