Background notes
Archive material and source history
Adam Tensta is a Swedish-Eritrean rapper and singer-songwriter born Adam Mohammed Taha in 1984 in the Stockholm suburb of Tensta. He grew up in a neighborhood with a large immigrant population, and those experiences shaped his music, which often deals with identity and social commentary.
His career gained momentum in 2008 with the single 'My Cool,' followed by his debut album 'It's a Tensta Thing' in 2009. He released other albums like 'Scared of the Dark' in 2011 and 'The Last Afro Samurai' in 2013. Songs like '80's Baby' and 'Lights At Bay' show his range from nostalgic pop to more introspective work.
Tensta's outspoken lyrics have sometimes drawn criticism. In 2017, he faced allegations of anti-Semitism over a song called 'Kanske på Tisdag,' which he denied.
