Romanian Rappers
List of Top Romanian Rap Artists
The true foundation of the hip hop scene of Romanian rappers began to emerge during the 1990s, but as soon as the popularity of hip hop expanded outside of New York and outside of America into Europe people in Romania took a likening to the movement, even though the percentage was probably so small that hip hop was unnoticed.
While to the outside world Romania is not known for much, other than Transylvania and the story of Dracula, this southeastern European country should be recognized as having the largest and most talented hip hop scene in Eastern Europe, an extensive list of top Romanian hip hop artists that tops well over a few dozen rappers.
The credit of Romanian rap music should go to the likes of the hip hop group of La Familia, which featured Puya (@Puya) and Sisu Tudor, the rap group Paraziții and its members Cheloo (@Cheloo) and Ombladon, solo artist Cedry2K (@Cedry2K), female artist Dana Marijuana (@DanaMarijuana), hip hop group of Zale, solo artist DOC, and producer Don Baxter, among others who also participated in the formation of Romanian hip hop, helping with the establishment of rap music in Romania during the 1990s.
Into the 2000s, artists like Maximilian, MC Bean and the rap group of Subcarpați, Grasu XXL (@Grasu XXL), Kazi Ploae, Nimeni Altu’, Haarp Cord, Bitza (@Bitza) and others help to further the movement into the new millennium and eventually, along with the key artists of the 1990s, into the 2010s and present day Romania. Outside of artists, individuals like Vlad Dobrescu had a vision that was big enough to create one of the first hip hop labels in Eastern Europe.
Today, the Romanian rap scene has exploded with dozens of top Romanian rappers who have created a large following of fans. While only Romania and Moldova truly speak the Romanian language, two countries that almost equal a population of 25 million combined, the popularity of Romanian hip hop is on a trajectory to become one of the region’s top genres of music.
