Henok Achido grew up in a musical home in the Southern parts of Sweden, purchasing his first vinyl with his weekly allowance at the age of 8. At the age of 17, Henok featured on number one hit single and grammy nominated song ‘Mina Hundar’ by Swedish rapgroup Fattaru, which resulted in numerous performances in most Scandinavia countries but although the outcome and response for Henok was massive, he still didnot feel satisfied with the mindstate and lacked maturity and the preparation to be the complete musician. After, Mina Hundar, Henok dropped out of highschool and moved to Stockholm to continue record and feature songs but still didnot feel that his timing was right. Late 05 and after creating several high quality songs and being mostly pushed by his younger brother to create music, he decided to take the big step in to the light of music. Today, Henok Achido is known for being a bilingual artist plus the combination of unique flow, determination, cockiness & inventive word play describes Henoks’ main characteristics best.
Check below for Henok’s video for, “Million Dollar Baby,” and more info about him.
Summer 2006, Henok recorded his first video ‘Million Dollar Baby’ and received huge response & is also now featured in a several aggressive sports commercials, mixtapes and albums in Sweden, U.S, France, Germany and Australia. After being signed to indie label DLX entertainement, Henok released a 8 track free dowload EP called -That Fucking Guy – The EP in May 2007 that recieved more than 30.000 downloads worldwide and resulted in radio and TV airtime in Sweden, Germany and U.S. Furthermore, In Oct 2007, Henok was meant to perform as supporting act for legendary rapper Rakims’ European Tour but unfortunatly Rakim cancelled his tour at last minute. At this moment, Henok is recording his highly anticipated debut album, Almaz Charming Child and his first video from the debut album -Almaz Charming Child- called Can I Talk My Shit has just finished its recordings and will premiere on TV soon.

Henok? He must be originally from Eritrea. Y’all should do more international stuff like this. There are actually some very good hiphopartists out there coming out of Sweden.

@Young Chris
I like this track…I heard that Adam Tensta “My Cool”. That track is catchy as hell…Isn’t that Perez Hilton’s favorite track LOL?
Adam Tensta My Cool:

well, must say henok is real good, but lazee and adam tensta is still better. they have the catchy tunes, for now henok is just a good rapper, he needs to do THAT record.
Yo son flow was on point, but the beat was better than the lyrics to be honest. I was waiting to hear some hot shit but I didn’t hear anything my g, real talk. Just my opinion
yeah, henok is from eritrea! he’s a good artist/rapper he just needs that BIG HIT, that 50 cent in da club hit:P but this EP is OLD i got this for like 1 – 1.5 years ago! btw that Adam Tensta – My Cool joint is crazy!!

@ REALTALKNY, You have been on point recently with some of the artist spotlight’s homie.
Hip Hop Isn’t Dead. You Just Need To Look Harder For It!!!

wow that first song was fire. ill dl the ep
I’m from Sweden, and this nigga is the only artist that made shit you can listen to, rest is ass.
Sweden up in this mofo!
Adamn tensta and RHM is that real shit from sweden
ive heard alot from sweden lately and i must sa that they are doin it bIG, Like REALLY BIG. timbuktu and promoe the best overseas imo. but hanok nice to
This is so pathetic, everytime an artist from Sweden gets a little shine, the rest have to follow like leaches.
Timbuk this, Lazee that,
the artist at hand is Henok,
a bunch of babies that left their paifiers at home!!!!!
Henok got some real talent and great flow, but as people here are sayin, he need a real fuckin hit. Adam Tensta got the “My Cool” that is tiiight and Lazee the “Rock Away” thats really heavy too. I’m from Sweden and all i can say to you out there is: Keep your eyes on these 3 guys. They can be big.
yeah henok is one of the best swedish rappers in english fo real, but he aint the best… He a bit better then Adam Tensta and close to Lazee, but he cant really reach timbuktu… The best english rappers in sweden is Looptroop without a doubt.. Looptroop rockers (Promoe, Supreme and Cosmic) kills everyone..
if you want to check at rappers rappping in swedish, make sure you dont miss Ken Ring and Highwon(Ison och Fille, Sabo, Hoosam, Gurmo)
“Ain’t nobody more ignorant than me, my n-gga” – direct quote from the opening of this song. I think that pretty much says it all!
Yo realtalk this nigga is kinda-nice. I’ll straight bump his shit in NY…MTF’s a be like yo who dis SON? but that Adam Tensta nigga is str8 ass….That shit get’s no play in NY!
They had a special on him on MTV here in Europe and his new songs are even better than this EP!
