Redrama

Finnish rapper Lasse Mellberg, performing as Redrama, emerged as a distinctive voice in hip-hop with his multilingual approach, seamlessly switching between English, Swedish, and Finnish. Breaking through in 2003, Redrama established himself as a skilled lyricist, winning the English-language Finnish rapping championship in 2001 and earning a Finnish Grammy (Emma) Award for Best Hip Hop Album in 2005.

Redrama gained international recognition as part of the collaborative hip-hop collective Alien Allies, which brought together Nordic talent including Norwegian acts Paperboys and Madcon. His work exemplifies the cross-cultural exchange within Scandinavian hip-hop, contributing to the region's growing presence in electronic and urban music scenes.
