Avantgarde hip hop maestro from the Faroe Islands Silvurdrongur.
Trygvi Danielsen was 12 years old when he rapped on stage for the first time. He was attempting a cover of Eminem’s ‘Hailie’s Song’. Not an easy feat for even the most accomplished rapper, let alone a schoolkid who was spitting out rhymes in a second language. ‘I fucked it up pretty badly in front of 500 people,’ he admits bluntly. ‘But all the older kids were impressed and told me I did a good job. I still know the lyrics by heart.’
His music has the menacing intensity of ’90s trip-hop acts such as Tricky, all hushed and brooding like he’s waiting for you in the shadows, while his clever wordplay is incisive and thought-provoking.
He always delivers an epic performance at G! And this year won't be an exception!
