Nige B Bio
Woodland Cree hip-hop artist Nige B doesn’t just tell stories — he builds bridges with them. On his latest single 'Morning Drive' featuring Dubbygotbars, Nige delivers a slow-burn banger steeped in memory, survival, and spiritual grind. The track — now sitting at #11 on the Indigenous Music Countdown — sets the tone for his April 18 release Reshape // Refashion, a record that doesn’t just bang; it breathes.
Born and based in La Ronge, Saskatchewan, Nige B (short for Nigel Bell) has carved out a reputation as one of the most reflective voices in Indigenous hip-hop. His last album, U R WHAT U R Vol. 2, was a deeply personal tribute to his late brother Billy Ray Roy — an emotional milestone that cemented his ability to turn pain into art. With his latest album, Reshape // Refashion, he moves into a chapter of reclamation and forward momentum.
The impact has been immediate. Every song from Reshape // Refashion has debuted on multiple CBC Radio stations, charted on college radio, and earned spins on SiriusXM. Over his career, Nige has received more than 40 award nominations — including recognition in Los Angeles, Nashville, and Atlanta — along with 6 wins.
Outside the booth, Nige invests in community and mentorship. He led hip-hop workshops with Men Of The North, guiding youth through writing, recording, and shooting Still Here — a powerful project addressing men’s suicide and mental health. He also co-produced Aches and Breaks with Joey Stylez for Carsen Gray’s latest single while visiting Haida Gwaii, showcasing his adaptability and collaborative range.
His music is also heading somewhere no artist from Treaty 6 has gone before — the moon. Two of his songs have been selected for the Lunar Codex, a NASA-backed project sending global art to space in 2025. “To know my music is going to outlive me — to be on the moon — that’s bigger than me,” he says. “That’s about showing Indigenous youth that their voice matters, here and beyond Earth.”
From CBC Music premieres to spins across Turtle Island, Nige B’s momentum grows without sacrificing his message. His lyrics carry mantras for life: You are allowed to evolve. Don’t rush the healing. Success ain’t fame, it’s alignment. These aren’t just lines — they’re declarations.
