Hailing from southside Stockholm, Naod has ignited a new wave of hip hop in Sweden. Praised for his bilingual lyrics and songwriting, the 22 year-old rapper is reshaping the landscape of Swedish hip hop with his international sound and language-crossing bars. The mixing of languages in Naod’s raps has always come naturally to the young artist. Born and raised in Sweden to Ethiopian and Eritrean parents, he was accustomed to a multicultural background, enriching his musical palette at an early age.
