Snak The Ripper
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 tour support slots with the likes of Tech N9ne, The Beatnuts, RA TheRugged Man, Ill Bill, Planet Asia, Sean Price, Camp Lo, Swollen Members, Cunninlynguists, Choclair, and Moka Only to name a few. The Ripper has is the newest member of 100 MAD, a rap crew started by Fredro Starr & Sticky Fingaz of legendary New York rap group, Onyx.
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 illegally, much more than that. In 2010, he had his first experience touring overseas, and with seven SOLD-OUT SHOWS in Spain, he realized how far he had come, and exactly where he was headed.
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, 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, left with nothing more than some criminal charges and thousands of personal photos documenting his work. 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 six months as #1 on MySpace’s Canadian Hip Hop Charts, and currently holds #1 on Reverbnation.com's local charts, and #3 nationally. These positions are achieved by constant traffic to his pages, and most obviously, making kick-ass music!
Search for ‘Snak the Ripper’ on YouTube and check out his grimy street culture videos. Using his graffiti cred from years in the culture, Snak became the spokesperson for STOMPDOWN KILLAZ . With over 50,000 subscribers worldwide, they are the largest Independent Canadian channel on YouTube. His first video “''Dangerous State/ What's Street'' received 100,000 views in the first month of its release. Following this he made sure to connect with his rising fan base on an individual level, interacting with them in person and all over the internet. A cult has formed around this terrifically honest, brash and abrasive performer.
