About The Halluci Nation

The Halluci Nation, comprised of Bear Witness and Tim “2oolman” Hill, the acclaimed Indigenous Producer/DJ duo (formerly A Tribe Called Red)— have solidified their place as a groundbreaking force in contemporary music. Formed in Ottawa, Canada, The Halluci Nation have garnered international acclaim for their innovative fusion of traditional Indigenous music with genres like dubstep, hip-hop, and drum & bass. Their distinctive sound not only celebrates Indigenous heritage but also disrupts the mainstream, by addressing the complex conversation surrounding the modern-day Indigenous experience.

In 2025, The Halluci Nation made history as the first independent Indigenous artists from North America to reach 100 million streams on Spotify, a monumental achievement that underscores their global reach and growing influence. With their eyes set on the future, The Halluci Nation is not just a music group—they are a movement. Their blend of infectious beats, social activism, and cultural pride continues to inspire listeners across the globe, pushing boundaries and amplifying Indigenous voices on the world stage. The Halluci Nation is just getting started. 

The City of Kingston acknowledges that we are on the traditional homeland of the Anishinabek, Haudenosaunee, and the Huron-Wendat, and thanks these nations for their care and stewardship over this shared land.

Today, the City is committed to working with Indigenous peoples and all residents to pursue a united path of reconciliation.
