Tall Paul

Paul Wenell Jr., aka Tall Paul, is an Anishinaabe and Oneida Hip-Hop artist enrolled in the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe in Minnesota. Born and raised in south Minneapolis, his music strongly reflects his inner-city upbringing. From personal expressions of self, to thought provoking commentary on issues affecting Indigenous and diverse communities as a whole, Tall Paul’s music evokes a wide variety of substance and soul.
