Abstract:

Canadian hip-hop artists, Eekwol and Kinnie Star reflect on the ties between identity, responsibility, and music in the following statements. According to Eekwol, “My goal is to get more girls feeling comfortable doing music, and being a part of hip-hop, and being proud to be a woman, and proud to be Indigenous.” And Kinnie Star states, “It's my responsibility, as a musician, as a woman, and as a half breed, to be as honest as I can be because my dad couldn’t.” Both artists position themselves as racialized and gendered subjects within a music culture and industry that leaves little room for certain forms of difference. In this paper I interrogate the concept of difference in the music of Eekwol and Kinnie Starr, paying particular attention to questions of belonging and community.
