Crook the Kid
Fort Smith
Crook The Kid is a hip-hop artist and storyteller from Fort Good Hope, Northwest Territories. Born and raised in the Canadian Arctic, he has an innate passion for the culture and preservation of his home, the North. Growing up in the isolated northern community of Fort Good Hope, NT, Dylan has taken the role of being a voice for the hardship and beauty of a more rugged way of life. Crook The Kid brings his culture and love of home to every performance while speaking on the preservation and current social destruction of both. Recently, Crook the Kid was honored with an award for ‘Best Songwriting’ at the 2022 NWT Music Awards. He also rocked a performance after being awarded and was quoted saying “I can’t believe someone in this room thought it was OK to give me an award!”
