Trkaj

Trkaj (born Rok Terkaj, March 1 1984) is a rapper from Slovenia. He is well known for wining the Slovenian Freestyle Championship back in 2003 alongside with fellow rapper N'toko.

His prize was a record deal at Rapnika, so he released his debut album "V času enga diha" the following year. The album was a commercial success, but it lacked some critical acclaim, indicating, that Trkaj re-recorded a lot of his songs that were already on the internet as demo songs [ [http://rapscena.com/?show=review&id=23 RapScena.com | Recenzije: V Ä?asu enga diha ] ] . Nevertheless, it still remains the best mainstream rap album in Slovenia.

Trkaj is praised for his freestyles, still, according to some critics, remaining the number 1 Slovenian freestyler. He is known for using his freestyle technique to sharpen his skills.

In 2005 he announced a new album to be released in March 2006 on his birthday [http://www.monkibo.com/post23%2kl$@,3] , but the album wasn't released due to some complications with the label. It was rescheduled to a year later and finally released in December 2007, called Rapostol, what is referred to apostle in rap music.
