Snak The Ripper raps with a voice as raw and honest as his material. In just three years, Snak has gone from rock-bottom anonymous, to internet superhero.

He’s already infamous in North America and Europe and he’s just getting started. Snak's group Brass Tacks (with Evil Ebenezer & Young Sin), were the only rap group invited on the Van's Warped Tour 2010, where they performed for crowds of up to 20,000 people each day. Brass Tackz debut EP was his label, Camobear-Digital’s, top seller and one of HipHopCanada.com’s most downloaded albums of 2010. On Dec. 31st 2010 Snak released his free mixtape, Fear of a Snak Planet, which garnered over 50,000 downloads within a month of release. A master of social media, Snak has built a loyal following of over 21,000 Facebook fans and 4,000+ Twitter followers and counting. Snak finished 2011 with a relentless tour schedule making stops throughout Europe, Canada and the USA. Snak begins 2012 on Steve Aoki and Datsik’s North American “Deadmeat Tour” promoting his cross-over dubstep single with Datsik entitled “Fully Blown,” released Jan. 31st 2012 on Aoki’s Dim Mak Records.
Snak has begun crafting his third solo album, cleverly titled, White Dynamite, due for release May 22nd, 2012. Determined to show his fans and the music industry he’s earned his spot as an international underground rap phenomena; his sights are set on remaining authentic while conquering the mainstream.
