Anish1 a.k.a N8vsk8ter originates from the rap group Anishnabe (founding members include Anish1, Wake MC, Hanabal, and Darian one); moreover, the group is based in Regina, Saskatchewan- Northcentral for the last 22 years. In the early part of 2007, Macleans magazine named Northcentral as the "Worst Neighborhood in Canada." During this time, the group has been breaking, making music, doing graffiti, DJing, writing articles, doing workshops, and dropping videos. Whatever the social issue the group raps about, the group continues to rap about hiphop topics. Although written about numerous times in the media, the group has done many videos for cable networks and CBC. While known as Anishnabe Posse, the group only uses this handle to distinguish itself from other groups named the same. However, the group remains true to its indie roots and firmly believes in DIY. Eventually, though, Anishnabe will be holding hiphop events in the community and on nearby firstnations- stay tuned!
