Notkea Rotta

Notkea Rotta

Notkea Rotta is a Finnish rap group consisting of members Notkea Rotta (literally "Supple Rat"), Rautaperse ("Iron Arse"), Komisario Jyrkkä ("Inspector Steep") and Meno-Anu ("Speedy-Anu"). The group mixes humour and comedy in their brand of hip hop, crafting original (and largely fictional) rap saga of the underground culture in the east side of Helsinki. Notkea Rotta heavily parodies - or pays tribute to - American gangsta rap.

Notkea Rotta released their debut album Panokset piippuun, pöhinät pönttöön in 2002. Their lyrical subject matter mostly deals with common Finnish street drugs (especially amphetamine), sex and the occasional clashes with the police. The group raps exclusively in Finnish, using a lot of Helsinki slang vocabulary, making it rather difficult for non-speakers to understand the lyrics.

While the group had a band on stage at live acts for a longer time, on the last album the band was also in the studio for the recording of the 2007 album "Kontula - Koh Phangan All Night Long". The band is called "Liekehtivät Torsionit" (Flaming Torsions) and consists of musicians better known from bands like Barathrum, Ensiferum, L.A.M.F. and Defuse.
