Inuk Hiphop artist M.O. shares some wisdom with us - from his perspective on music to his experiences working with Kinnie Starr. He also shares with RPM.fm what equipment he works with, who his musical influences were growing up and some cultural knowledge from the land of the Inuk.

Ostwelve talks with Dene/Inuvialuit country artist Leanne Goose, Dene singer-songwriter Leela Gilday, Inuk hip-hop artist M.O. and Tlicho writer Richard Van Camp.
We find out what makes the north coast - and its influence on these artists - unique. We also learn how to pass the hours when the sun never rises and more behind the saying "when an elder dies a library closes".
You'll also hear Inuit throatsinging by Karen Panigoniak and Maria Illungiayok from Arviat, Nunavut.
This is just a slice - a super tasty, action-packed slice - of the diverse music and culture of the North Coast. Also check out RPM's North Coast YouTube Playlist for more.
