Finnish hip-hop

Finnish hip hop or rap (Finnish: suomiräp, räp) or (suomirap, rap) is a variant of hip hop music from Finland.

The first recorded Finnish rap song was "I'm Young, Beautiful and Natural" in English, which was made by an artist called General Njassa in 1983.

These artists had a style greatly different when compared to American rap music.

Later Finnish rappers tend to despise this wave of the early 1990s.

[1] Niko Toiskallio (Nikke T) himself has later stated that he regrets his humoristic dance-influenced rap recordings and he claims that so-called humour-rap deprived the credibility of Finnish rap scene which did not recover until many years later in the late 1990s.
