Career

Artigeardit's began promoting himself through SoundCloud, releasing one of his first songs on 21 August 2015. The song, entitled "Hold det 100", was a freestyle rap over the song "100" from American rapper The Game.[7] On 4 March 2016, Artigeardit released his debut EP, Fristelse Fordærver.[8][6] During the process of creating the album, he dropped out of Frederiksberg Gymnasium during his third year.[2] He stated that he regretted not completing his secondary education, though it did allow him to focus on his music.[4]

In December 2021, he was named as the ninth most streamed artist in Denmark on Spotify, with "Er her" finishing the seventh most streamed song. His album Held & Lykke Med At Komme Hjem also finished in the last spot of the top 10 most played albums of the year.[9]

Artigeardit's fourth studio album, entitled Længe leve, was released on 27 January 2023.[10] The album received high praise from music critics, including Soundvenue writer Kristian Karl who stated, "Længe leve is the album Artigeardit will be remembered for."[11] Politiken writer Pernille Jensen stated that the rapper had created "his masterpiece."[12] His second album of the year, a collaboration with fellow rapper Lamin, was released on 1 September 2023.[13] Nu hvor vi er her received comparison's to Watch the Throne, a collaborative album from American rappers Jay-Z and Kanye West, and was met with a generally positive response.[14]

Personal life

Artigeardit admitted to heavy use and addiction to Xanax for years.[5] During a podcast interview with DR, he stated that during 2019, he spent spent several days in a row using drugs while partying[4] and drank alcohol every day.[15] Following a concert, he stated a 15-year-old boy approached him and asked the rapper for Xanax, a prescription drug that Artigeardit and other rappers[5] had mentioned in several songs. He stated that the encounter caused him to reflect on the consequences of his actions[2] and, by 2021, he had stopped Xanax use entirely.[5]

Artigeardit's became a father in 2023, revealing the birth of his son.[16] Questions about him possibly becoming a father started following the release of his song "Sig hvad du vil", with the lyrics mentioning having a baby on the way.[17]
