First Gen is a jazz-influenced hip-hop ensemble led by Filipino rapper and multi-instrumentalist Gr8skawt (Scott Snider). Featuring a rotating collective of diverse musicians, many of whom are first-generation immigrants of Asian descent, the group has been a dynamic presence on Edmonton stages for the past five years. Blending live instrumentation, improvisation, and sharp lyricism with influences from jazz, funk, soul, and hip-hop, First Gen creates an energetic and distinctive sound grounded in collaboration, cultural identity, and musical exploration.
