Snak is my favorite rapper been listening for like 10-11 years now and I don't see that changing. He's so genuine talking about his life, I can really relate to what he's saying.

The song “I’m good, trust the process, lesson learned” all paint the picture of Snaks message here in this interview which is learn, work and build. Very good interview looking forward to your new songs Scott!

This is amazing. Never knew there was anything like this with Snak. Been listening since 07/08 and never imagined he’d blow up the way he did. But he still deserves more recognition for sure!

A beauty of a man, with vision, drive, gifted, integrity, generous and benevolent. You’re blessed if he’s given you an ounce of his energy. Fundamentally the hardest worker hands down . Runs the whole show and succeeds because of that. A true inspirational human..LRZ

What up from Boston. I think there's a commonality between Canadian rappers and New England culture (northeast USA if anyone doesn't know), so Snak is a keeper in my book. Btw Statik Selektah's mom used to be my downstairs neighbor (random, haha)

Snak is a Legend .good interview. ive been a rapper from uk since 2001..very hard to make anything happen when you are white from a northern city where people dont understand you as an artist .ive had very similar experiences as snak .same age ..come to think of it im the UK snak without trying to be .hahah. i guessyou have to have an element of luck as well as hard work and talent for things to fall into place.

I remember Snak and Merc in Greece, opening at Mobb Deep in Athens btw RIP prodigy. So, that's the 1st time that I heard of them and I was hooked up since then! Personally I think that the amount of people that appreciate real Hip Hop and the real Hip Hop culture - have more or less stayed the same. But you know - I remember at time especially here in Greece where Hip Hop was me and 2 other people listening... And that's it; Now its still the same - me and 2 people are still only listening to real Hip Hop, no more - it never was more, at least here. But now they seem less because you engage with all these bozos - "what do you like to hear" - "rap man! no cap" "So you like him and him and him?" "who?" ... So today I just get more sad that I find people that "listen" to Hip Hop and finding out that they have no clue what they are talking about - than before that I already knew that "nobody" really gave a _ about real Hip Hop; It hits even worse now, but the number should be the same more or less - because if you like Hip Hop - even if you are not a hardcore, you can't forget it. Hip Hop is an astonishingly rich culture that if you are introduced properly to it - you can't forget about it. It must feel good to geek with all these rappers Man, I would love to hang out with you, here in Greece I always felt out of place, like why do I like Hip Hop? Why can't I just be like a normal Greek and like cringy traditional music? So I always tried to find like people that new something about Hip Hop but it was always hard to really find them. It must feel really good knowing that your music is being listened by other people and even better seeing their reactions to it. That can fill a person with a lot of positive energy! Thanks for the interview that was awesome!

Great interview but the interviewer was kinda cringy acting like he has a stance and kinda says dumb shit. Almost as if he’s trying to be cool hah. Good for you tho Snak and we’ve been here from day one and will continue to support you and what you’re doing. You’re humble and smart and obviously talented.
