In just 7 short years, Snak The Ripper's life has dramatically changed. Going from homeless and completely unknown, to Underground Cult Phenomenon, to Record Label Owner and Entrepreneur . The Vancouver-based Rapper has over 5,000,000 unique views on YouTube, has headlined tours across Canada and Europe. He's toured with well-known artists like Onyx and Swollen Members, and has played multiple dates on the Vans Warped Tour and at SXSW in Austin Texas. Snak’s stunning rise to Cult Icon coincided with a life and death struggle with substance abuse. Clinging to Music as he struggled to get himself clean, he released his debut album The Ripper in 2007 and went on to sell several thousand copies online and at his live shows. His second album Sex Machine more than doubled the sales of his previous album, and has been downloaded countless times from almost every torrent website you could name. In 2012 Snak released his most successful project to date, White Dynamite, which spent almost 3 weeks at #1 on iTunes HipHop/Rap Charts, and sold nearly 10,000 Digital Albums and over 22,000 Singles. His latest full length album Just Giver was released on April 29th 2014 on his own label, Stealth Bomb Records.

Growing up in an isolated small Canadian town, Snak The Ripper 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 drug-addled vandal. His friends were criminals, fiends and drug dealers and his depression spun out of control. “I found myself back in my home town, 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. Snak is recognized by fans nearly everywhere he goes, and is considered to be one of the hardest working independent artists in Canada.

The Ripper is a master of cadence, tone and harmony, using his grimy vocals in all sorts of engaging ways. Backed by top-notch production, each song drips with venom. Snak sings like Bob Dylan, in a voice so ugly that we cannot help but feel it is our own. With cunning punch lines, a devious sense of humor, and the suffering soul of an everyman, Snak is a legitimate anti-hero in the making. Most hip hop these days glorifies materialism and fantasy. Snak the Ripper offers a refreshing dose of reality and truth through his music, something that everyone can relate to. With a clean mind and undeniable work ethic, Snak has made himself infamous in North America and Europe, and he’s only getting started.
