The group belives in releasing amazing hip hop, with new sounds being some of the oldest in the Lakota culture. The group wants their music to reawaken the lessons of the elders in the native generation of today. They have said that their new album is "not just an album of songs, we are telling a story."
The elders influence and wisdom is also important for all peoples in these times of global warming and other inevitable global threats.

Midnight Strong Heart Society was originally founded in the 1800's by legendary Sitting Bull and other Lakota Sioux leaders as they fought to maintain their traditional way of life against the United States Government's displacement policy.
The Socieity was driven underground with the killing of Sitting Bull and the complete control of Indian Reservations by the U.S. Government. As a result, their traditional music is deep with stories of the Lakota Nation enduring extreme poverty, genocide, cultural deprivation, colonization, alcoholism and suicide as well as military ownership.
The impact of these harsh environments have never broken the inner sacredness of the Lakota and they are survivors. Today the M.S.H.S is creating a new sound for hip-hop to influence change both in urban communities and in the reservations.
Cante Tinza Hancokan Okolakiciye - Midnight Strong Heart Society was originally founded in the 1800's by legendary Sitting Bull and other Lakota Sioux leaders as they fought to maintain their traditional way of life against the United States Government's displacement policy.
The Midnight Strong Heart Society is one of the most respected native societies fighting for traditional ways and cultural pride. The Socieity was driven underground with the killing of Sitting Bull and the complete control of Indian Reservations by the U.S. Government. In 1981 the Society was revived while successfully defending the sacred Black Hills from uranium mining.
In 2005, The Midnight Strong Heart Society is active again, using media to document, preserve and deliver traditional knowledge, wisdom and hope to the youth and overall tribe. Through media productions, youth learn media tools while documenting their culture as well as their expression. Through music, especially Native Hop, the youth rhyme poetry and liberate deep feelings through their expressions that reflect life on the reservation as well as traditional wisdom.

Your music is fresh and alive with your culture, I love it!
I'm in the process of upgrading my production equipment and also fusing different genres together. I'm looking at creating a uniquely south pacific sound, so i can relate to what you're doing with your music.
