Snotty Nose Rez Kids - I'm Good, HBU? [Translucent Blue]

I'm Good, HBU? is Snotty Nose Rez Kids at their most direct, eight tracks and no wasted motion, now on translucent blue vinyl.

The Haisla duo, Yung Trybez and Young D, have spent years making political rap that never once feels like homework, sharp enough to earn a Polaris nomination and loud enough to work in a car with the windows down. This 2022 record trims the runtime down to a blitz rather than a statement, and the choice suits them, every track landing with a punchline or a hook before it has the chance to overstay. The title itself is the joke and the thesis at once, the reflex answer to a question nobody actually wants answered honestly.

I'm Good sets the tone immediately, confidence delivered with just enough edge that you believe it's covering something. Trendsetter brings in DillanPonders for a verse that matches the pace stride for stride, Paint the Town Red is the record's most triumphant, unfiltered flex, and Kids Come Up, It's Suppertime! closes the main run with Polo Brian in tow and the energy still fully intact.

Eight tracks, in and out, nothing left to prove twice. Sometimes the tightest record is the smartest one.
