Summertime TV hit Reservation Dogs got a lot of much-deserved attention for its all-Indigenous creative team and cast, and its stories of life on an Oklahoma reservation. Part of what made the show work so well was the array of characters surrounding the four main kids, including a pair of hip-hop-loving bicyclists played by diminutive Pawnee/Choctaw rappers Lil Mike and Funny Bone. The duo (who also perform as Mike Bone) had a long history in music before TV made them semi-famous thanks to appearances on America’s Got Talent in addition to Reservation Dogs. While they display their rhyming skill a bit on the show, dabbling in the dozens of songs they share on their website, mikebonenation.com, shows these guys are as serious about their music as the characters they play.
