**R.V.** (real name Risto Vürst) is an Estonian rapper, producer, and a key figure in the country’s hip-hop scene. Known for his laid-back yet introspective style, he blends minimalist beats with candid lyrics that explore everyday struggles, personal growth, and existential musings. Emerging in the mid-2010s, R.V. has built a loyal following for his relatable storytelling and lo-fi-infused production, often weaving dry humor and raw honesty into tracks like "Silmad" ("Eyes") and "Armuda Lihtne" ("Easy to Love"). His recent releases, including the melancholic "Aus" ("Honest") and the haunting "Sada tuhat aastas" ("A Hundred Thousand Years"), showcase his knack for pairing stripped-back instrumentals with philosophical reflections on life and identity. While keeping a low-key public persona, R.V.’s music remains a staple in Estonia’s urban culture, resonating with listeners who vibe with his unpretentious, grounded approach to hip-hop.
