Snak the Ripper raps with a voice as ugly and honest as his material.

Truthful to a fault, his music scrapes the rock bottom of human nature to offer a rare glimpse into the ugly underbelly of our celebrity-obsessed society. In just three years, he has gone from a relatively unknown West Coast journeyman emcee, to a cult phenom.

With millions of views on YouTube, tours in Europe and support slots with the likes of RA The Rugged Man, Sean Price, Camp Lo, Swollen Members, Cunninlynguists, Choclair, and Moka Only to name a few. His stunning rise to cult icon coincided with a life and death struggle with drug abuse. Clinging to music as he struggled to get himself clean, he released “ The Ripper ” in 2007 and sold 2,000 copies online and at live shows. His next album “ Sex Machine ,” (2009 Camobear Records) has sold over 10,000 copies digitally, and been downloaded way more than that. In 2010, he had his first experience touring overseas, and realized how far he had come. Seven sold-out shows in Spain, with rabid devoted fans yelling word for word Snak’s lyrics, he saw he was becoming a Legend.

Growing up in an isolated small town, Snak became involved in graffiti by the age of 15.

Following a freak accident with homemade explosives that nearly blinded him and severed part of his index finger, he became a social outcast. Angry and determined for the world to know his name, he pursued his passion for graffiti, vandalizing his way across Canada. At 22, he had become a homeless drunken drug-addled vandal.

His friends were criminals, fiends and drug dealers and his depression spiraled. “I found myself back in my home city, with no real friends, and no belief in myself at all. I weighed 140 pounds. Rock bottom is an understatement. I looked like a skeleton with skin.” Realizing he had to change his life or die, he sought out music to save himself from himself.

He not only saved his life, but also skyrocketed to popularity in the Canadian hip-hop industry. In less than three years, Snak went from rock-bottom anonymous, to internet superhero. He spent 6 months as MySpace’s Best Canadian Hip Hop Artist and is loved on Hip Hop forums the world over.

Snak: The Ugly Truth The Rippe r is a master of cadence, tone and harmony, using his grimy vocals in all sorts of engaging ways. Backed by incredible production, each song drips with venom, an ugly duckling ready to kick the shit out of anyone looking for a swan. Snak sings like Bob Dylan, in a voice so ugly that we cannot help but feel it is our own. With cunning dirtdog punch lines, a devious sense of humor, and the suffering soul of an everyman, Snak is a legitimate anti-hero in the making. Love songs from a man who doesn’t expect to be loved. Sex songs from a sex machine who claims he isn’t even good at sex, but still gets laid. His live show has been described as a “ shocking nightmare circus ” ( Exclaim ) and “ an unforgettable trip into darkness and debauchery ” (VICE ). He’s already infamous in North America and Europe and he’s just getting started. Highlights
