Näääk

Matar Henrikki Samba, better known as Näääk (born 1983), is a Swedish rapper and singer.

Biography Näääk was born and raised in the Stockholm suburb Rinkeby to a Finnish mother and a Gambian father. He moved to Gullmarsplan when he started high school.

In 2009, Näääk released his debut album Näääk Vem? ("Näääk Who?") which he recorded with Safe House Studios during 2008. The debut was nominated for the prize of "This Years Rap Album" on the Swedish radio station Sveriges Radio P3's "Gold Awards", but did not win anything. The latest album, Mannen utan mask ("The man without mask"), was released on 26 September 2012.

He said he got his name, Näääk, from a friend who tried to spell the word "Negro" in Finnish, but 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".
