Filip Tadeusz Szcześniak (born July 29, 1990), better known by the stage name Taco Hemingway (earlier FV), is a Polish rapper, songwriter, and musician.

He began recording in 2011, at which time he released - under the pseudonym Foodvillain - an English-language mixtape entitled Who Killed JFK.

[3] The album brought the musician publicity, thanks to which he joined the label Asfalt Records, under which he released a re-release of Trójkąt warszawski and a new EP entitled Umowa o dzieło.

He created hits such as "6 zer", "Następna stacja", "Deszcz na betonie", "Polskie Tango", "Tamagotchi" or "Nostalgia", which all went trending on YouTube with millions of views shortly after release.

[12] Despite his immense popularity, the rapper does not spend much time in the media, rarely giving interviews and not appearing in advertisements.

Upon finishing preschool, Szcześniak and his family moved to Warsaw in 1996,[16] where he experienced little to no difficulties in school while simultaneously developing his bilingualism from his early years.

[17] Szcześniak completed his studies at Prywatne Gimnazjum nr 1 and Copernicus Bilingual High School in Warsaw, where he met his future producer, Maciej Ruszecki.

[34] The same year he was scheduled to perform in the promotional action of the PopKiller portal entitled "Young Wolves 2015", however he declined due to lack of time.

[35] On June 6, 2015, there was a digital premiere of the first single titled "6 zeros" along with a music video, directed by Łukasz Partyka and Jonasz Tołopiła.

[37] On 19 August 2015, reissues of the albums Trójkąt warszawski and Umowa o dzieło went on sale, which gained huge publicity, reaching respectively the 3rd and 2nd place of the Polish charts - OLiS, both selling more than 10 thousand copies on the day of their release.

[44] In turn, the song "Następna stacja", coming from the album Umowa o dzieło, reached the 1st place of the Polish Radio's Lista Przebojów Programu Trzeciego list and stayed there for several weeks.

[61] A song from that album, titled "Święcące prostokąty" reached number 23 on the Polish Radio's Lista Przebojów Programu Trzeciego list.

[69] The tour culminated with a performance in Warsaw's Torwar, where the rapper filled the entire hall with more than 6 thousand people.

[80] The song proved to be a great commercial success reaching the 22nd place of the best-selling singles list in Poland - AirPlay.

On April 1, 2018, Taconafide's Instagram account revealed the entire tracklist of the album, titled Soma 0.5 mg, as well as bonus material called 0.25 mg.[89] The producers and guests on the bonus CD were also revealed, which turned out to be: Bedoes, Kękę, Paluch, Kaz Bałagane, Dawid Podsiadło and Białas.

[92] April 13, 2018 saw the premiere of the entire Soma 0.5 mg album,[93] which was released in its entirety on Taco and QueQuality's YouTube channels and streaming services.

[122] Although in the song "Café Belga" he announced a possible break from music in 2019, on February 7, a photo was released online in which the rapper could be seen during a recording session in the studio.

[124] On February 12 of the same year, he appeared as a guest on Bedoes' single "Chłopaki nie płaczą", and the daily Newonce included his verse in the ranking of "5 songs that pushed the boundaries of what is allowed and what is not in Polish rap".

[125] In April of the same year, on the Instagram profile of the recording studio in which the rapper works, a post appeared that confirmed the formation of a new album.

The event gained a lot of publicity and already in almost 3 hours the artists sold out all the tickets, that is 73 thousand seats filling the whole stadium.

[128] For the first time on the album, the rapper invited guests, other musicians such as Pezet, Dawid Podsiadło, schafter, Kizo, Ras and Rosalie appeared.

[129] The rapper debuted at number one on the Polish sales list - OLiS for the fourth time in a row and held the top spot for three weeks.

[133][134][135] Songs from the album titled "W piątki leżę w wannie" and "Sanatorium" hit the charts in Polish radio stations.

[140] On November 6, 2019, the artist made a guest appearance on schafter's single titled "Bigos" for which a music video was also released.

[147] On 10 July 2020, the day before the election silence, a single entitled "Polskie Tango" was released, which depicts the Polish mentality, expresses concern about the state of the country and refers to the political situation in Poland, criticizing it.

[148] The single broke the daily playback record in Poland on Spotify, which previously also belonged to his song "W piątki leżę wannie", gaining over 560 thousand plays.

[150] On August 28, 2020, the rapper again unexpectedly released the album titled Jarmark, making it available on streaming services and for free download on his website.

[153] In turn, some critics praised the rapper for finally having someone from the popular music world trying to address such topics and teach the youth.

In 2020, he gave an interview with PRO8L3M for the website Newonce, where he stated that he now wants to mainly focus on publishing and helping new young artists in his new label.
