Näääk
Matar Henrikki Samba, better known as Näääk, was born 29 of March 1983 (26 years old). He was born and raised in the Swedish suburb Rinkeby, Stockholm. He moved to Gullmarsplan when he started high school and he have been living there ever since. Näääk is a well-known Swedish rapper that has mixed origins from a Finish mother and a Gambian father.

Stage name
The name Näääk is a very unusual name that he have been using for 10 years now and he claims that he got his name from a friend who tried to spell the word "Negro" in Finish but he misspelled it and wrote N-Ä-Ä-Ä-K-E-R-R-I instead of the right spelling; N-E-E-K-E-R-I.

Personal Life
Näääk is a very independent guy due to the fact that he does not live with his family and he does not have any siblings. A guy that is living the life of a party animal. He has been single for three years and according to him he does not have any desire of being in a relationship either. But since his younger days his dream girl has always been Halle Berry.

Career
A couple of years after high school (the beginning of 2000), Näääk begun to record his lyrics that he wrote himself. And that hobby continued for five more years, until some producers from the studio Safe House, which is run by the record label Slang Musik in Stockholm, heard him and wanted him to guest some songs from other Swedish rappers. He continued with his song-writing at the same time as he was the guest rapper of many songs. The breakthrough of his career came with the Wiley-interpretation "Mina Gangsters" ("My Gangsters"). It is today an underground classic with hundred thousands of views on YouTube.

Year 2009, Näääk released his debut album "Näääk Vem?"("Näääk Who?") which he recorded with Safe House Studios during 2008. The debut was a huge success and was nominated for the price of "This Years Rap Album" on the Swedish radio station P3's "Gold Awards". The album did not win anything. Many producers contributed to the songs from the album and it ended up as an album with g-funk-inspired beats, melodic loops and a general funky sound. His album reminds of artist such as Devin the Dude and Snoop Dogg. The latest album, "Mannen utan mask" ("The man without mask"), was released the 26th of September 2012 and was declared as a more mature album, unlike "Näääk Vem?".

When "Näääk Vem?" ("Näääk Who?") was released, another big thing was created, the duo Näääk & Nimo. They are the rappers from Stockholm that often guest each others' songs and they tour together as a team to create a rare vibe on the stage. "Jetlag" and "Blåser min rök" ("Blow my smoke") two singles, that Näääk released with Nimo as the guest rapper, that were on the top list on Swedish radio stations for a long time.
