C is for Cheek

Now Cheek  is a well known rapper over in Finland. But it wasn't until college that he first started to get in to  rap. After college he joined the rap 5th Element were he quickly because one of most prominent members. When he originally started rapping most of his song were in English, but later on he switch over to just rapping in Finnish.

One of the thing that really drew me to Cheek was how original his sound was and how unique his voice was. He combines meaningful lyrics with an almost club techno beat while still  adding to the song. I also like how much he's grown as rapper over the years. You can really see the differences from songs like "John Doe" from his first album Human & Beast and songs like "Jos Mä Oisin Sä" (translates to "If I were you") from one of his later album Jare Henrik Tiihonen. Personally if I just feel like going for a drive to relax I prefer his newer stuff, but if I feel like think his older stuff is more meaningful to me. So in my opinion the rapper Cheek is definitely worth checking out.
