Einár is one of the most popular rap artists in Sweden. Our compatriots called the rapper "Russian Timati". For a short career, he released as many as three studio albums.
The artist has repeatedly confirmed that he is the best. He was nominated for a Grammis - an analogue of the American award. In 2019, he became the most popular singer in his native country, who was listened to on Spotify.
During 2020-2021, the name Einár was in the top several times, but, alas, this merit concerned not only the musical achievements of the Swedish rap artist. Last year, Einar was kidnapped and raped by migrants wearing women's underwear, a wig and a collar. A year later, on the territory of Stockholm, right next to his own house, he was completely attacked, which led to the death of the artist.
Childhood and youth years of rapper Einar
The artist's date of birth is September 5, 2002. He was born in colorful Stockholm (Sweden). Niels Kurt Erik Einar Grönberg (real name of the rapper) was brought up in a creative family. The artist's mother realized herself as an actress.
He grew up as an inquisitive and active child. Parents tried to develop their son as much as possible in various directions, but already in adolescence he decided on a hobby. The music drew him in.
By the way, he repeatedly admitted that in his area it is difficult to remain a “right” and decent person. "I grew up in the suburbs of Stockholm with drugs and guns."
Rumor has it that parents practically did not limit their son in his manifestations. In some situations, it played against him. So, at the age of 17, Nils Kurt Erik Einar Grönberg, due to antisocial behavior, ended up in a place that threatened to teach the guy how to behave correctly.
Einár: the creative path of an artist
The creative start of the rap artist began in 2018. Soon the premiere of the unreal cool track Gucci / Duckar Popo took place. By the way, the song was listened to by more than “lyama” of Spotify users.
On the wave of popularity, he pleased the fans of his work with the premiere of the track Katten i trakten. The song managed to uphold the Swedish rapper's bar. In simple words, it turned out to be no less popular than the debut work. The song reached number one on the Swedish Singles Chart in February 2019.
The artist during this period of time actively performs. In his hometown, a young man becomes "super-old". In May 2019, the premiere of another “delicious” novelty took place. The new track Rör mig quickly entered the Sverigetopplistan chart at number three. This year was interesting with the release of two full-length LPs at once. We are talking about records Första klass and Nummer
A year later, the repertoire of the Swedish rap artist was replenished with a third studio album. The record was called Welcome to Sweden. Note that the presented disc took second place in the Swedish album chart. In 2020, at the Grammis ceremony, the rap artist received the Rookie of the Year and Hip-Hop of the Year awards.
Einar: details of his personal life
The rap artist did not like to talk about his personal life, which can not be said about his girlfriend, who quite often shared common photos on social networks. The artist was in a relationship with a girl who is signed on Instagram as Alexalexandras.
Rap artist kidnapped
The artist's musical works have repeatedly occupied leading positions in the Swedish charts. In his work, he romanticized the criminal lifestyle. At some point, he had a conflict with another Swedish rapper of Somali origin, Yasin.
The latter, together with his accomplices, kidnapped a competitor, while the victim was subjected to humiliation and sexual violence. The kidnappers forced the rapper to wear women's clothing. They raped him with a dildo.
In addition, the thieves stole from Einar a Rolex watch worth SEK 302 ($000) and several gold chains totaling SEK 30 ($000).
Einar did not willingly cooperate with the investigation. He even tried to establish contact with Yasin. The rappers recorded a joint track. But, Yasin was still sentenced to ten months in prison for kidnapping. Khawal Khalil (accomplice) known as Khawal was sentenced to two and a half years in prison for complicity in kidnapping and robbery. The crime and the subsequent trials of the perpetrators attracted the attention of the international community.
Death of rapper Einár
Swedish rapper Einar was shot dead on October 21, 2021. Police confirmed the news to media on Friday. They also said they were looking for suspects.
Previously, the artist was supposed to speak in the district court, but did not appear at the hearing for mysterious reasons. The Svea Court of Appeal ruled that police must escort the rapper to a hearing next week to testify against the group.
Stockholm police spokesman Toue Hagg told the AFP news agency that emergency medical personnel tried to provide first aid to Einar, but, unfortunately, he died on the spot. He added:
"We are actively working to find out why this happened and who might be behind it."
The Stockholm police have already launched an investigation into Einar's murder. Alas, for this period (October 24, 2021), the killer has not been found. At the same time, the crime itself, according to unconfirmed information, could get into the lenses of surveillance cameras.
