Elastinen

Elastinen (born Kimmo Laiho) is a Finnish rap legend who's been shaping the country's hip-hop scene since the late '90s. Starting as one half of the groundbreaking duo Fintelligens with Iso H, he helped bring Finnish rap to mainstream audiences through their iconic 2002 album *Renesanssi*. Over two decades later, this Helsinki-born artist remains a chart-topping force, blending clever wordplay with infectious beats – as shown in recent collabs like the playful team-up with Käärijä on *Toiset samanlaiset* and the summer anthem vibes of *Aaltoi päin*. Beyond dropping bangers, he's evolved into a cultural ambassador for Finnish rap, mentoring new talent through his label Rähinä Records and sharing wisdom as a coach on *The Voice of Finland*. Whether he's spitting bars about everyday life or experimenting with pop-infused hooks, Elastinen keeps proving why he's stayed MVP status in the game.
