Lamin sets a bold new agenda for tomorrow’s hip-hop scene.
The man who has been impossible to overlook this past year: Lamin, also known as Lams, has quickly established himself as one of Denmark’s most groundbreaking rappers. With his unique blend of deeply personal lyrics and genre-defying productions, he has firmly planted himself on the Danish music map.
Having previously gone all-in on afrobeats and amapiano, Lamin changed direction on his latest album. On SkyLL (2024), Lamin ventures into rage rap, confronting his upbringing and his relationship with his absent father. The album was streamed over 1.6 million times within its first 24 hours. SkyLL is the result of two years of dedicated work, paying homage to hip-hop’s roots while pushing the boundaries of what the genre can encompass. It is the crowning achievement of an already incredible year.
With iconic hits like “Window” and “Gode Dage, Gode Drinks,” along with prominent collaborations with artists such as Artigeardit, Gilli, and Ukendt Kunstner, Lamin is setting new standards for Danish hip-hop. His sharp lyrics and raw energy have earned him accolades such as ‘New Artist of the Year’ at the Danish Music Awards and the P3 Prize 2024.
Driven by integrity, Lamin’s journey to the top continues unabated as he sets a bold new agenda for the future of hip-hop, with a must-see stop in Tusindårsskoven.
