Finnish hip hop

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Finnish hip hop music is an increasingly robust part of the Finnish music scene. While some crews based in Finland (Don Johnson Big Band, Nuera, Kwan) choose to record their rhymes in English, the majority use Finnish. The first recordings were released in the late 1980s but the real boom of Finnish hip hop came in the late 1990s. Since then, the number of crews recording has increased dramatically. The best-selling crew has been Fintelligens with several top 10 albums and singles. The best-selling solo artist has been Pikku G, an 18-year-old boy whose debut album has sold more than 120 000 copies (quadruple platinum album) in Finland.

Some well-known Finnish hip hop crews include:

  • Ceebrolistics
