James Nikander (born 11 October 1990), professionally known as Musta Barbaari (The Black Barbarian), is a Finnish rapper.

[1] Musta Barbaari started his career by making a video blog Taru painojen herrasta (Lord of the Weights) on YouTube and went on to release his first song "Salil eka salil vika" with the accompanying video in August 2013.

The post enclosed a detailed account of his mother and his sister being racially profiled by plainclothes police officers.

“The plainclothes police didn’t answer [my sister’s question] but proceeded to handcuff both of them rudely and forced my mother to lie on the ground," he wrote.

The University of Turku is currently working on the most comprehensive study about ethnic profiling that has been made in Finland to date, which will be published in 2018.
