Episode 55 - Cali Los Mikyo

The HipHopHumboldt Podcast

For this episode of The HipHopHumboldt Podcast, I had the pleasure to do an interview with one of my favorite artists, Cali Los Mikyo! It was great to get into his history, where he grew up, and how he got into the local scene. We got into some stories from years back, and a lot of discussion about how Cali Los Mikyo is paving the way for youth to have better outcomes in Humboldt County.

During the episode, I couldn't remember the name but it was the ACLU who published the "Failing Grade" report highlighting disparities in outcomes amongst Indigenous students in local schools,

and so with that being said I really have major respect for what Cali Los Mikyo and his close friend Joaquin Thunderbird are doing to grab the torch and keep the right things going for the youth and for the community and culture of Indigenous peoples. And that's before even speaking on the art! If you didn't know, Cali Los Mikyo is a powerhouse out here dropping that realness, some real strength in the messages in the music! And he's saavy and hungry enough to be doing the entire process himself, from making the beats to filming and editing the visual content and marketing. He's got merch available, make sure you follow Cali Los Mikyo and click that link in his bio! Bigtime shoutout to Cali Los Mikyo for holding down the culture out here.

To let people know, Cali Los Mikyo and the Tismil Family Farm is holding an Artist Market and Showcase in Hoopa, CA later this year to spread awareness about prevention against Fentanyl & Missing Murdered Indigenous people. This will be a one day event with artists, musicians, poetry, artist market, youth workshops, cultural demonstrations, and exchange for honoring local youth and families of fentanyl and MMIP victims. Be sure to e-mail [email protected] to sign up and thanks to the people putting this important event on

Stay tuned for more episodes on the way!
