FRIDAY
LIVE MUSIC
Stella Standingbear
If you, like me, got put on to Stella Standingbear via her On The Radar freestyle, now’s your chance to see her live. The Oglala Lakota Nation member brings her icon energy and genre-blurring sound to the Vera Project as part of her two-month-long Off The Rez Tour. Riding the momentum of her Phoenix Suns halftime performance and the recent buzz around her “Mmhmm” remix with the grill goat Paul Wall, Standingbear is carving out a wide lane for Indigenous women in rap, and I am so here for it.
