Vera Icon

Vera Icon is a Polish rap duo known for their raw, introspective lyrics and gritty production, blending hip-hop with dark, atmospheric beats. Comprising rappers/producers Ten Typ Mes (Michał Marten) and Kuba Knap, the group emerged in the early 2010s as part of Poland’s underground scene, carving out a niche with their unflinching explorations of mental health, societal pressures, and existential dread. Tracks like "Paranoje" and "Bezsens" typify their signature style—brooding, poetic, and layered with clever wordplay.

With a DIY ethos and a cult following, Vera Icon’s releases, including recent standouts like "Łyka Liza Gryza" and "Erotyk," often feel like late-night therapy sessions set to ominous loops and punchy flows. They’ve stayed fiercely independent, avoiding mainstream trends to focus on deeply personal storytelling that resonates with fans of experimental hip-hop. Their work, including albums like *Czarno Na Białym* (2018) and *Koniec* (2021), cements them as moody architects of Poland’s alternative rap landscape.
