Sliver

**Sliver** (real name Jakub Varga) is a rising Slovak rapper, producer, and beatmaker who’s carved a space in Central Europe’s hip-hop scene with his gritty trap-influenced flow and DIY ethos. Born in 2000, he kicked off his music career around 2018, dropping raw, self-produced tracks that blend atmospheric beats with candid lyrics about street life, hustling, and his personal struggles. Part of the **HUSLE** collective, he’s known for projects like *MOMENTÁLNE NEMÁM ŽIVOT* (2020) and *DOBRE UZENÉ* (2022), plus viral singles such as “AUDEMARS Freestyle” and “BAD B,” which showcase his knack for dark, bass-heavy production and sharp, melodic delivery. While keeping a low-key public persona, Sliver’s music—sung entirely in Slovak—resonates locally for its authenticity and unpolished energy, cementing him as a voice for Slovakia’s underground youth culture.
