With his latest project he touches on the subjects of RCMP killing indigenous people on his song ‘Be Right Back Feat. Jeffrey’ and his song ‘Warrior’ that touches on generational trauma , poverty, depression, addiction, sexual abuse , & suicide - something that every indigenous person faces each day.
