Hippo Potamus, or Hippo for short, was born and raised in The Bronx, NYC. Without turning this bio into your average rough-ghetto-upbringing-story, he had a pretty rough upbringing in the ghetto. Got thrown out of kinder garden at the tender age of 3 after being caught with a small quantity of pot. After this devastating blow, Hippo turned his attention to the finest thing a man can do: pimping hoes. Over the years he earned a large fortune, which in turn was invested into the music business. At the age of 12 he was masterminding major artists such as Nik Kershaw, Eurythmics and Yello to name a few - but nothing seemed to satisfy his artistic vision. With his mind set on producing the ultimate record, entitled "Hippo roughing up your ass, bia-bia-biaaaatch", he sold all his assets in the industry and commenced the construction of a personal studio, built to his exact specifications. But alas - the studio was never finished. With Hippo insisting on a solid gold floors in every room, the project eventually ran out of money and left him with just enough to buy a private plane. The course was set on Denmark, a country rumored to hand out free money to people hanging out. A herb incident in the cockpit en route to their destination resulted in a crash-landing in Jutland, the mainland of Denmark. He manged to secure work at a local farm from where he picked up the sophisticated language and behavior of the local population. Fast forward 8 years - Hippo once again decides to seek his fortune in the music business. Unaffected by previous mistakes, he takes upon himself the epic project of redefining rap as a genre. Dealing with issues such as everyday life, love, drugs and the low IQ of the danish population, all wrapped in a hardhitting production - he is once again ready to conquer the world!
