JIREEL
The young rapper from Rågsved south of Stockholm has soon exploded as one of the country’s most noticed hip hop promises. Jireel debuted in November 2015 with the song “Here & Now” and has since continued with his crisp, modern style. Songs like “Like Me”, “Long Guy” and Superheater “Cataleya” made 2016 to his perhaps strongest year to date. “Snap” from recently released EP ‘Jettad’ is already mentioned as a milestone in Swedish hiphop – and when Jireel received the great honor to finish the entire Grammis Gala 2017, we could see a taste of a brilliant live artist. Now he is on a great tour of the country! Jireel has just begun.Sammy & Johnny Bennett
