His first solo album, Born Ready , was released in 2017, followed by The Bridge the same year. He has been awarded three Native American Music Awards and received five nominations, both alone and with his group Nake Nula Waun. Waln grew up on the Rosebud Indian Reservation and first began listening to hip-hop as a teenager. Waln graduated from Columbia College Chicago with a BA in Audio Arts and Acoustics where he also received the Gates Millennium Scholarship Early lifeWaln grew up on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota. He was first exposed to hip-hop after finding an Eminem CD on the side of the road.[2] As a teenager he began listening to the genre extensively, connecting his experiences as a Native American dealing with the consequences of colonialism and genocide to the oppression suffered by African Americans.[2] In the early 2000s he began recording with friends and family, eventually saving enough money to build a recording studio in his basement.[3] A Millennium Scholar, Waln studied pre-med at Creighton University for two years, with the goal of becoming a doctor. After burning out, he realized that music, rather than medicine, was how he would choose to make a difference and a living. He then moved to Chicago, studying audio design at Columbia College Chicago, and graduated in 2014.[4] MusicIn 2010 Waln formed the group Nake Nula Waun (I am always ready, at all times, for anything),[5] with Thomas Schmidt, Andre Easter and Kodi DeNoyer. They released the album Scars and Bars that year, with Waln receiving the Best Producer award at the 2010 Native American Music Awards – the youngest Nammy award-winner in history.{{citation needed|date=January 2019}} The band receiving the Best Hip-Hop Recording award in 2011 for the same album.[6] Their follow-up, The Definition, was released in 2013 and was again nominated for Best Hip-Hop Recording.[5] Alongside his work with Nake Nula Waun, Waln also has a solo career. His single Hear My Cry, a collaboration with Cody Blackbird, was nominated for two Nammy awards in 2013 after its release, winning one;[5] Oil 4 Blood, a 2013 song about the Keystone XL pipeline, was singled out by Policymic.com, who identified him as one of '7 First Nation Rappers Crushing Stereotypes of Indigenous People Through Music'.[1] Along with Nataani Means, Mike "Witko" Cliff, and Inez Jasper, Waln was featured in the MTV documentary Rebel Music.[7] Waln is currently working on his first full-length solo album, Tokiya (the Lakota word for "firstborn"); it is expected to be released in 2017.[8] ActivismNoted for his work in opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline,[9] Waln contributes to the Dream Warriors scholarships, a project founded by Tanaya Winder (who manages Waln, Tall Paul and Mic Jordan) to provide scholarships to Native Americans looking to study and perform music.[3] DiscographyAlbums
