Combining the voices of many struggles, peoples and nations, the #NationHood Mixtape brings together an amazing array of hip-hop, spoken word, beats, ideas and sounds from artists across the world.

This is music for the movement: songs to inspire the liberation of oppressed peoples globally, and to bring Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists together in rhythmic force. For this mix, I wanted to showcase a diversity of styles that illustrate our commonalities in struggle, our shared experiences, and the many ways in which our words—in whatever language we sing and speak them—locate us in common purpose, resistance, and action to transform the world.

From LA to Chicago, Detroit to New Brunswick, Germany to Palestine, Phoenix to Greece, Nəxʷsƛ̕áy̕əm̕ , Tsalagi and Six Nations, to Anishinaabe and Mi'kmaq, and everywhere in between, the #NationHood Mixtape spans hoods and communities across Turtle Island and the globe.

Building on the enthusiastic response to the #ILF2013 mixtape, that I compiled earlier this year for the Indigenous Leadership Forum, this mix deepens the sounds and expands the horizons.

Kinanaskomitin and much respect to all of the incredible artists who donated their time and music to the project.

Please download, share, enjoy.
