Lakota Kikyo is an Oglala/Hunkpapha Lakota ceramics, spoken word, and rap artist. They grew up in Sioux Falls, SD finding themselves submerged in the subculture of hip hop that existed within the world of their peers. Enduring the suffering of spiritual deprivation, financial hardship, and other trauma, this love of hip-hop music and visual art provided a sustainable source of passion for looking forward to when times were dark. With this eternal fire they've procured, Lakota Kikyo intends to tell her story and create intellectually stimulating and fun music that fellow music lovers can enjoy.
