Statements that begin with “I’m not racist, but…” never end well, but they’re the perfect fodder for Snotty Nose Rez Kids albums.

Their aim is the reclamation of harmful language and the exposing of stereotypes, and they’re not pulling any punches in the process; there’s a track here named “KKKanada.” The rapping takes centre stage — over minimal but slick beats — and they rarely waver from their message, so be prepared for 17 tracks of heavy-handed but necessary shaming
